This trigger will fire when the screen switches to portrait or landscape orientation.
</pre>
''' Options '''
* '''Portrait''' - The trigger fires when the screen rotates to portrait orientation (0 or 180 degrees)
* '''Landscape''' - The trigger fires when the screen rotates to landscape orientation (90 or 270 degrees)
''' Examples '''

Increase brightness when switching to landscape for video viewing:
<pre class="trigger-style">Triggers
Screen Orientation: Landscape</pre>
<pre class="action-style">Actions
Set Brightness: 100%
Media Volume: 80%</pre>
<pre class="constraint-style">Constraints

<pre class="trigger-style">Triggers

''' Notes '''
* The trigger polls the screen orientation approximately every 1.5 seconds to detect changes
* Portrait orientation includes both normal portrait (0 degrees) and reverse portrait (180 degrees)
* Landscape orientation includes both normal landscape (90 degrees) and reverse landscape (270 degrees)
* Auto-rotate must be enabled on the device for the screen to actually rotate
* The trigger tracks orientation changes globally and fires for all macros using this trigger type
* Resource optimization is applied so only one background polling loop runs regardless of how many macros use this trigger
