Notes

This trigger uses the Android ACTION_USER_PRESENT intent to detect when the user has unlocked the device
The trigger fires after the user has successfully passed the lock screen, not when the screen simply turns on
If no lock screen security is configured, this trigger fires immediately when the screen turns on
For actions that should run when the screen turns on (before unlock), use the Screen On trigger instead
A static counter is maintained internally to optimize resource usage when multiple macros use this trigger
