Galaxy Mode & Routine

[Andi9]

Hello,
I have a new Samsung S23. It is the first Samsung device and I played around with the modes and routines first.
The sleep mode is actually perfect, but you can only enter an or link as a trigger. That is, a time and, for example, whether charging is in progress. However, the mode is then always set when charging or at the set time. Which makes it useless. (An intermediate charge in the morning should not set the sleep mode).

With my previous Pixel, I had implemented this as a macro in Macrodroid. However, the Sleep mode on the Galaxy also has the advantage of switching my Galaxy Watch to dark. (Which does not disturb)

Now my question:

Is there a way to switch on the Sleep mode in Galaxy in Macrodroid?

Thanks
Andi

You can integrate macrodroid with routines for exemple using notifications.
Macrodroid sends notification with specific phrase. Based on this phrase you can run modes/routines and use macrodroid to clear notification as well. You can use any macrodroid trigger to send notification. So maybe try this

Thanks for the reply, yes with this I could trigger a routine, however a routine cannot switch a mode. (At least I have not found a way)
And I would need this mode sleep. (Only that switches the clock dark).

Otherwise it would work without Macrodroid.

Greetings

I don't see any mode trigger that could be directly connected with macrodroid then...
You could use ui interactions but thats not too handy.
Maybe try to achieve everything that samsung's sleep mode gives you in macrodroid instead.
Macrodroid can be based on modes as well.
For exemple mode created in macrodroid could lower brightness, change volumes etc.
Try list here everything you need in your 'sleep mode' and we'll see how well macrodroid will handle this.
The only problem might be the watch, although macrodroid has android wear action that changes brightness etc.

Thanks for the reply. Yes UI actions are not really helpful and only to be used in case of emergency.

It is actually only the clock that is my problem. When you activate sleep mode on your phone, the watch display goes dark and doesn't respond to touch anymore but only to the buttons. So you are not disturbed by the display at night.

Too bad thought maybe there would be an intent or so to switch the modes.

I have a S23 and don't use the built in modes and routines. Instead I use Macrodroid to do it all. It's much easier to configure the phone as you want.
I have disabled Bixby, as I don't use it

Just un update. On oneui 6 you can change modes in routine/modes app so now you are able to change modes with macrodroid as well using notifications as I said in my first answer
