Macro request

[frostyboy]

Hi,
I'm new here and I'm a bit confused by the options available to make a macro and wondered if someone could help.
When I use my mobile in the car, I always forget to unplug it and take it with me when I stop.
I wondered if there was a way to get a notification sound when I turn the engine off to remind me to take my mobile with me.
Any help appreciated.

I don't thin there is any specific trigger for that but you can download something else.
If your phone is plugged into your car (and charging), you could periodically save your current speed, and if the charge is disconnected after your speed is reduced you could use that as a trigger.
I won't walk you through all of it but this is already a good start.

Why all that?
Power disconnected is enough

What if you're charging at home ?

Are you using Bluetooth in your car? If you are, you could have it play the notification sound when you disconnect from that particular Bluetooth device. If you plug it in to aux, that could be trickier. Someone with more experience could chime in if that's the case

I don't think it would be that annoying to hear a sound when unplugged, even at home

Notice the word "unplug" , so it's quite simple

Thank you. I set this and it did work.
It didn't seem to work on my second connection and I'm not sure why.
I have added a constraint of 'power connected' to see if that works.
I am assuming it will activate the macro when I connect to and start the car.

No, that constraint stopped it from working.
I have realised what the issue is. The mobile stayed powered when I turn the car off.
I have removed the constraint and changed the trigger to 'bluetooth device disconnected. Kia motors' which happens when the car stops.
The other issue is that the speak command text is fairly quiet even with notification volume on maximum. All other notification sounds are very loud on this setting.

In the speak action change select audio stream

I can't get this macro to function adequately. The problem is that the car continues to power bluetooth and usb (also the car radio) for a minute or so after it has stopped. Unlike a keyed car which powers down when the key is turned off.
I have looked at all the functions I can think of which might help, but can't find a solution for this. I can still leave the car without my mobile!

Attach your car key to your phone?

Whenever I need to remember something I do this.

If the previous solutions do not work, you can use the precise location. Whenever the car stops, the macro issues a speaking phrase reminding you to take the mobile phone.
