    Wear OS Notifications Work! (Usually, anyway...)

    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...

    Phone Battery Level on Watch (First-Round Feedback Version)

    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.

    About ChatGPT...

    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...

    About ChatGPT...

    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...

    Comparing Action Blocks to 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...

    Webhooks To and From Switchur

    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...

    Stop macro after trigger once

    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...

    Average Four Most Recent

    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...

    A Programmer's Question(s) on MacroDroid Arrays

    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.

    A Programmer's Question(s) on MacroDroid Arrays

    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...

    Wiki Login Confusion

    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.

    Wiki Login Confusion

    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...

    Consecutive Integer Check in Array Indices?

    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.)

    Auto-checking if Macro Run on Consecutive Calendar Days

    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?

    Auto-checking if Macro Run on Consecutive Calendar Days

    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...

    Auto-checking if Macro Run on Consecutive Calendar Days

    Thank you, @RSF, but no. Constraint versus IF clause wouldn't make the difference in this case. For what I have in mind, all that matters is when the actions run. Now that I think about it, the calculation would be simple enough if we could make that "Macro not invoked within the past lv=x...

    Auto-checking if Macro Run on Consecutive Calendar Days

    I'd like certain action sets to depend on whether or not the macro was run on consecutive calendar days. (So that's different from the Invoked/Not Invoked constraint, natch, though I could set that to the past 24 hours. Similar function but not exactly what I'm trying for.) Guessing there'd...

    Macro error too many actions aborting macro.

    That's odd. Looks like a well-written macro, imho, and not convoluted as would cause a crash. Since it's been working, you must have set up the "CallTime" stopwatch it uses, or an equivalent. Have you made sure nothing happened to that watch? When you open the Call Log to Calendar macro...

    Android Device is Off During Time & Day Triggers

    Note that my question is two-fold. Assuming you intended for me to read the second paragraph from your link, that's a yes to the first half but merely an implied yes to the second half. Since the second half of my question is academic, I'll shrug it off. 🤗 Benefit of date & time trigger as...

    Macro without name ?

    Why do you seem to be attacking OP? My impression was that OP was making us aware of potential problems that can arise. Did I miss something? Did OP post the nameless macro in the template store? This is the forum, not the store. Seems to me the macro-sharing forum is the place for...
