Trigger: Day/Time Trigger

This trigger can be configured to fire at a certain time of day on selected days of the week.

Options

Time - Set the hour, minute, and optionally seconds for when the trigger should fire.

Days of Week - Select one or more days of the week when the trigger should be active. You can select any combination of Monday through Sunday.

Use Alarm Clock - When enabled, the system treats this as an alarm clock event, which may provide more reliable timing on some devices that aggressively manage background processes.

Use Variable - Instead of fixed values, you can use a dictionary variable to dynamically control the trigger timing. The variable should contain:
- hour (integer 0-23)
- minute (integer 0-59)
- second (integer 0-59, optional)
- days (array of 7 booleans for Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, Sat, Sun)

Notes

The trigger automatically adjusts for timezone changes, rescheduling when the timezone is modified.
When using variable mode, the trigger will automatically reschedule when the variable value changes.
The trigger schedules only the next upcoming alarm time, not all instances, for efficiency.
Requires the SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission on Android 12+ for reliable timing.
If you need a trigger for a specific day of the month rather than day of the week, use the Day of Week/Month trigger instead.
