Issue using AMdroid alarm plugin - max snooze variable

[Gaétan Tanguay]

I am using Home Assistant to send an intent to Macrodroid in order to control different alarms of the AMdroid app.

AMdroid includes a plugin that can be used with Macrodroid/Tasker. It allows to get some information, for example if an alarm is snoozed, we can know how many times I snoozed the alarm, the name of the alarm profile, etc. There's one boolean field too that tells if the maximum number of snoozes allowed for that alarm has been reached or not.

For some obscure reason, there is no way I can get this information. Anyone has been able to solve that kind of issue?

What version of MacroDroid and Android are you using?
There has been a recent fix regarding the plugin, so using the beta version v5.36.9 may help.

I am using version 5.36.8. Android 10. I may try with the beta version.

On Android 10 this should not be a problem with this version.

Can you confirm if the plugin returns the value correctly to Tasker (or any other app) as my first suspicion would be that the plugin is at fault here.

Unfortunately, I tested with Automate, and yeah, the plugin seems to be at fault there. It does transmit other pieces of information but not the max snoozes.

What I hate the most about this experience isn't that much the fact that it doesn't work as much as realizing that they keep selling the app AMdroid but stopped maintaining it (last update is July 2022), don't reply to their emails (I sent them an email), show a feature that doesn't work, they have no documentation about any API while offering a plugin that is flawed... It's a waste of time. At least we cannot say the same about Macrodroid.

Keep up the great work.
