The Auto Rotate Changed trigger fires when the auto rotate (automatic screen rotation) setting on the device changes. This allows you to respond when the user enables or disables automatic screen rotation.

Options

Enabled - Trigger fires when auto rotate is turned on
Disabled - Trigger fires when auto rotate is turned off

Examples

Example 1: Notify When Auto Rotate Disabled

Triggers

Auto Rotate Changed (Disabled)

Actions

Toast: Screen rotation locked

Example 2: Set Orientation for Video App

Triggers

Auto Rotate Changed (Enabled)

Actions

Set Variable: [auto_rotate_enabled] = true

Notes

The trigger monitors the system setting ACCELEROMETER_ROTATION to detect changes
Only one option can be selected per trigger instance - create separate triggers if you need to respond to both enabling and disabling
The trigger uses a ContentObserver to efficiently monitor the setting without polling
The trigger only fires when the state actually changes (not on repeated settings to the same value)
