Difference between revisions of "Trigger: Day of Week/Month"

Latest revision as of 22:37, 5 January 2026

This trigger will fire at a fixed time on the selected day of the week or day of the month.

Options

Day of the Week - Select a specific day of the week (Monday through Sunday) and a time for the trigger to fire. The trigger will fire every week on that day at the specified time.

Day of the Month - Select a specific day of the month (1-31) and optionally a specific month. The trigger will fire on that date at the specified time.
- If "Every month" is selected, the trigger fires on that day every month
- If a specific month is selected, the trigger fires only once per year on that date
- If the selected day doesn't exist in a month (e.g., 31st in February), the trigger will skip that month

Advanced Options

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

Use Variable - Instead of fixed values, you can use a dictionary variable to dynamically control the trigger timing. The variable should contain:
- For Day of Week: hour, minute, and days (array of 7 booleans for Mon-Sun)
- For Day of Month: hour, minute, dayOfMonth, and months (array of 12 booleans for Jan-Dec)

Examples

Example 1: Weekly reminder on Mondays

Triggers

Day of Week [Monday 09:00]

Actions

Notification: Start of the work week!

Example 2: Monthly car maintenance reminder

Triggers

Day of Month [1st Every month 10:00]

Actions

Notification: Car check reminder
Message: Please remember to check the car oil, water and tyres.

Notes

The trigger automatically adjusts for timezone changes, rescheduling the alarm when the timezone is modified.
When using variable mode, the trigger will automatically reschedule when the variable value changes.
For months that don't have the specified day (e.g., February 30th), the trigger automatically finds the next valid month.
Requires the SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission on Android 12+ for reliable timing.
For weekly recurring triggers on multiple days, consider using the Day/Time trigger instead.

Permissions Required

SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM (Android 12+)
