Trigger: MacroDroid Variable Change

About

Will fire when a MacroDroid variable is set to a certain value.

Note that when comparing less than or greater than, the trigger will only fire once when the value transitions into this state (not on subsequent updates where that same condition is still met).

The wildcards '*'

* stands for any number of character (from 0 to any, same as '.*' in Regex).

The wildcards '?'

• Tick the box Enter regular expression matching if the typed text follows Regex syntax, far more powerful than plain text with or without wildcards (for advanced users).
