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.

Permissions Required

• SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM (Android 12+)
