''' Notes '''
 +
 
 +
* This trigger requires MacroDroid to replace your default assistant app (like Google Assistant).
 +
* On some devices, this trigger may also fire when long pressing the power button.
 +
* If the trigger shows a warning that it's not configured properly, tap the warning to open the settings to set MacroDroid as the default assistant.
 +
* Setting MacroDroid as the default assistant will prevent the original assistant (e.g., Google Assistant) from launching on long press.
 +
* The trigger will show an edit mode warning if MacroDroid is not set as the default assistant.
