It threw me a slight bit of a curve that the Pixel Watch is not actually Wear OS. Macros I've made for it still work, though. I reboot my Android devices about weekly. Seems like notifications cease to be reliable toward the end of that time. Consequently, my macros like this one become...

I find it a little odd that watch-face designers want to make this a premium feature. Simple macro puts you one tap away from viewing your phone's charge level right on your watch! I've been in no rush to upload this to the store. Figure feedback first makes sense, so comments welcome.

Latest bit of help on one of my questions. Answers 1 & 2 look workable, though not what I had in mind. Is 3 true?! I haven't checked carefully, but it seems to me configuring that action would show no such option. ChatGPT wrote: There are a few ways for two macros to pass local variable...

I created a quick empty-trigger macro to set a random integer from 1 to 6 and display the result. I opened the macro file as text and copied & pasted the JSON. ChatGPT could tell my idea was a very simple die-roll simulator. Suppose I or anyone does the same with more ambitious macros...

In the course of working with my programmer friend who doesn't like to download apps, he asked me what the distinction was between MD macros and the relatively new action blocks option. Figured the best way to answer that was with a table. Didn't really take me long. A Macro An Action...

Switchur has been excellent for my purposes right off the bat! I've been using it about a month only. It's just the ticket for some automation ideas I've been trying to make work for some time! Works well with IFTTT and Amazon Echo since both have relatively simple presets for it. From what...

The pistol icon on green is a constraint called "Trigger Fired/Not Fired." Apply it to actions to make them contingent on which macro triggers were or weren't used. It won't affect actions before or after the constrained ones, basically. "Wait For Trigger" is an action. As you probably know, a...

Will most likely do this with a dictionary; one key for each day of the week. Macro should prompt user to enter an integer each day. Entry will be 1 to 100. I'll most likely use two or three triggers. Time of day and/or a webhook will tell when there's probably an entry ready. This to enable...

Thanks. I also just created and edited an array manually and configured an action to display it as shown. I think it's close to what he's describing.

For various reasons I can't swear make any sense, I've been trying to learn arrays and how MacroDroid implements them from a friend who won't use it. Communication hurdles and hangups are hard to explain here. I could answer the following with trial & error and clarifying questions which...

Oh, I see. Sorry about that. Just wish there were some indication that the login help I was clicking on wasn't going to work. I'll read the volunteering posts and answer there if called for.

I look at MacrodroidForum.com and I'm logged in. I click on the Wiki. Figure I'll edit what I read as helpfully as I know how. I find I'm not logged into the Wiki so figure I'll do that first, even though it's optional. Chrome populates the Wiki login page with my username and saved...

Is there a way to create constraints or condition sets that can tell if the two highest indices in an array are consecutive integers? Example: [1] Wait [2] Constraint check passed [5] Constraint check failed (Yes, that had me thinking of Monty Python, too.)

A programmer friend of mine has been showing me some conversion tool to decode system time. I've been wondering: can people sight read system time, too? Can someone look at a system timestamp and tell what day it was?

Think I'm following. I can try that if I can figure out shell scripts. You know that dayofweek is a magic text option, yes/no? I don't mind if they're nonnumerical variables. I do want it a little tighter than JUST days of the week, though. Otherwise it could register Friday the fifth and...
