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.

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...

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...

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...

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.)

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...

Please forgive if I'm missing existing features equivalent to my request or if my request is unfeasible. I do always second-guess these things. Existing feature I'm well aware of: constraint option to check if Macro Invoked/Not Invoked Recently. Can adjust to last 24 hours or last 30 days...

I could post the macro so far but it's kind of a confusing mess. I'll try just outlining the idea. Trigger: midnight Action: enable a specific floating button But what if the device is off at midnight? Trigger: Bootup Constraint Check: certain variable(s) indicating a user-defined...

Say you set a trigger to run at 6PM Friday. As it happens, though, your device is powered off at 6PM on Friday. Turn it back on later. The trigger will not somehow fire retroactively. Is that correct and has it always been? Specifically, I want to enable floating buttons at set times...

Someone tryin'a take a group picture, just now, had an awkward countdown stock function so I banged out a macro to improve on it. This is a quick, first version. Open to refinements and suggestions.

A: set Integer min to user prompt. A: set Integer max to user prompt. A: set Boolean insession to True. A: change system language to preset (Main question: is this feasible as an action or plugin?) REPEAT WHILE CONDITION INSESSION=TRUE C: check constraint, letzhearit is False A: set...

Voice Monkey is an Alexa "skill" (read=primarily audio app) with (in broad terms) three functions. triggering Alexa routines speech automation & customization options (now with contingencies if you say yes or no to select prompts) external audio options (AND image AND video if you have Echo...

Quick redo from scratch on my hourly interval macro. The idea is to add actions to enable or trigger other macros. One oddity with the device I've got it on (the Onyx Boox Nova 3 Color) is that it pauses if the screen's off. Seems like it'll get through two chimes and then stop for a spell...

Seemed like there'd be some interesting stuff to do with the new Action Blocks app. (Search the Play Store. They come right up from Google LLC.) After my first look through what they can do, though, it looks like not much. And, of course, MacroDroid beat them to it. Anyone know if we...

There are action blocks, MacroDroid videos, AND I can star my favorites now? You'd think this was Christmas, or something! 😀🎄

I use the floating button trigger a lot. (Should really figure out the plugin.) On two different devices, I discover there's a duplicate of at least 75% of the buttons under those that are supposed to be there. Some of the others seem to just not work. Buttons sometimes persist when I...
