    Repeat fixed # of times loop not working in MD 5.23

    I was trying to create a proof of concept macro to illustrate the use of loops to better control pauses (to the millisecond). However, when I tried to run the macro in 5.23,the repeat loops were skipped as though not even present. Here is the link to the POC macro I posted. The first loop...

    Magic text ip address

    I tried getting the phone's ip address from MacroDroid magic text. I noticed 2 things. First it only returns the ipv4 address and not ipv6. Are there plans to include ipv6 or both ipv4 and v6 in a single magic text?

    Testing array

    I am a part of the beta program and tried to create a simple macro to test populating arrays using a loop. The macro is intended to look like this: Set local variable to 0. Perform a loop 5x Assign array index of lv-counter to lv-counter+1 Increment local variable counter by 1 End loop At...

    Make UI Interaction more robust - when you have time

    I am in the process of making a single macro to skip commercials, intros and recaps in popular video apps such as YouTube, Netflix Amazon Prime Video and HBO Max. I have already posted a request to add regex support to defining the text to click on to avoid needing multiple actions to look for...

    UI Interaction Click on Text Supporting regex

    I am trying to use the same macro to support skipping in multiple streaming apps. Some app present a button with the word "Skip" while others "SKIP". Because the two are not the same, I currently need two actions instead of one. I think it would be useful if the UI Interaction Click on Text...

    Nice to have feature if it is possible and time permitting: A variable to support a list of applications common to multiple constraints/if tests

    If I have a macro that has a constrained trigger for example the app YouTube must be in the foreground and the macro has an additional test on the loop to confirm YouTube remains in the foreground, if I were to add additional apps to both areas, I would need to keep both in sync. A feature that...

    Quick POC to skip YouTube commercials

    In response to an uploaded macro template which is triggered at 1 second intervals to click the skip button in a video, I put together this POC to start only when a YouTube video is started, tries to click "Skip" every 2 seconds and stops when the video does. In theory, this template should be...

    (Resolved) Just installed the new MD beta - new features/options look great but it looks like template handling has changed (for the worse)

    I just installed the new beta version and looked through the new features. I have to test a few things out but it looks great. THANK YOU!

    Unable to upload a template (macro name/description are not too long)

    I just tried to upload a revised template as a new record and the system stopped me telling me either the macro name or description is too long. I checked both with Word count and both are under the stated maximum (200 char for name and 2,000 char for description) as the name is under 20 and the...

    Have your device behave like a grandfather clock - Qtr Chime 1 Trigger 2.0

    I saw the uploaded macro Chime at 15 http://www.macrodroid.com/macrostore?id=11680 and saw it relied on 3 triggers and multiple if statements. Then I saw his companion hourly chime http://www.macrodroid.com/macrostore?id=11679. This is my attempt to combine them and do something similar using a...

    Trigger specific action becomes invalid if another trigger is added to the macro

    I was playing around with incoming even triggers such as sms received and incoming call and the extra magic text options they make available. I noticed though that when I added a non incoming sms trigger to the macro (note I didn't remove the incoming sms trigger) the forward sms action became...

    Add the option to save trigger data to a variable

    It would be good for troubleshooting purposes and for more in-depth processing to enable the user to save the trigger inputs to variables (prior to macro initiation). For example, for the sms received trigger, permit the user to save both the source # and text to variables which the macro can...

    Expanded intent support

    I see this as a long term request as it is likely not something that is simple to do. I am starting to play with intents and am hoping for more insight for example on what macrodroid is actually receiving in (fields/data)? I cannot find a way to assign the data received to a variable. Could...

    Macro to detect a change in the next scheduled alarm time, report when that will be to the user and control airplane mode on the phone

    I have uploaded a new macro template based on a user's request to extend the functionality of the previous macro I had uploaded. http://www.macrodroid.com/macrostore?id=11613 This macro will detect a change in the next scheduled alarm (including those scheduled by MacroDroid to support...

    Macrodroid setting an internal alarm 1 minute before a scheduled time trigger?

    I have a macro with 3 scheduled time triggers for 5:30 am, noon and 11 pm. I have noticed that macrodroid sets an internal alarm one minute early and then sets the trigger alarm. I was wondering why the 2nd alarm is set 1 min early? Thanks.

    Looking for help with an intent

    Per the android documentation, two AlarmClock supported intents that seem interesting are ALARM_SEARCH_MODE_ALL and ALARM_SEARCH_MODE_LABEL however, I can't figure out how to implement them in MacrodDroid and I was hoping to get some assistance and direction from those with more experience. The...

    Macro to detect a change in the next scheduled alarm time and report when that will be to the user

    This macro will detect a change in the next scheduled alarm (including those scheduled by MacroDroid to support executing an action on time) and report it to the user as an alert. This macro's core functionality relies on installing the ClockTask plug in which can be found in Google play here...

    Display already configured plug in options...

    When editing the configuration on a plug in trigger or action, instead of showing the user the already selected options as MD does for most items, the user has to essentially reconfigure the plug in options from scratch starting with selecting the plug in to use. I realize the interface/system...

    Division math expression in set variable action not working reliably

    I feel like an idiot but sometimes the same command works and sometimes it fails. I am building a POC macro to illustrate how to find out when the next alarm is scheduled (in seconds) and then break that down into how many days, hours, minutes and seconds from now that is. Sometimes it gives me...

    Macro to set phone to Do Not Disturb (DND) for a period of time

    I just uploaded a macro to set the phone to Do Not Disturb for either a predefined or user defined period of time. Similar to what the old shush application could do. http://www.macrodroid.com/macrostore?id=11550 Thanks
