Hello, hello...
When my brother lost his phone while biking in the woods, we tried to use "find my device" from Google, but it's useless, since you can not remotely activate GPS to find the phone.
This nonsense triggered me so bad, that I had to make a macro, which has basically the same purpose, but better in basic functions to physically finding your phone.
But it wouldn't be a good macro if there where no struggles, so I need some help to find a more elegant way. .
I can't make the "share location" action reliable and not triggering a lot of times, since it's built in a loop.
Interval trigger is no option, because if it triggers maybe every 5 minutes, MD will hold my phone awake 24/7 all year, even if the trigger is constrained.
(GSAM Battery monitor protocolled over 8500 wakelocks a day with another macro which had an interval trigger).
Using another macro to activate/deactivate a macro is a very last resort.
(Solved, see edit:
So I tried the compare value constraint, which is a bad way too, because it triggers too often, but neither does this work. In this configuration the action triggered 3 times, even if it should only trigger at variable=10, 20, 30 etc. and the variable only passed the 10.
I want this action to trigger maybe every 5 minutes, till I send the "alarm off" SMS, or unlock the screen.)
Well... Hope you can help me with this and maybe have a use for it too.
Have a look
Best regards
Tim
Edit:
The constraint needed a checked box at "case insensitive" even if its a number, not a letter. That's one problem solved.
Maybe I'll go with "contains"00“" in value 2 to reach more time between the sent location sms, and will work with the waiting times before.
Still looking for a better solution.
