Hello, I want it to send SMS when a new device is connected to the mobile hotspot, how can I do it? Thank you.

Thank you very much, but I couldn't quite understand which part of the macro you shared I should take.I think it happens by triggering "logcat, wificondition new station", right?

So I won't need the actions part ?
Correct. Bear in mind that every device is different and that Android 13 may be problematic with the Logcat trigger. However, some devices show the number of devices connected on the tethering/hotspot quick settings tile, so if Logcat is no good then you have other options

I did it this way, but unfortunately it didn't work ("ekranı ac" means turn on the screen).

android 5 (my old phone)

Also, what do you mean when you say there are other options?

Your best bet is to create a macro with the Logcat trigger and enter * in the text field. Add an action: log event. Disable the macro until you enable hotspot. Connect a device and then disable the macro again. Have a look at the user log tile. You should now see when the device connected. I would make the device counter for you but every device is different so it may not work for you

am I looking for the ID of the device connected this way? Could you please share an example except the last step?

Turning the screen on and using screen content trigger to watch for new numbers in the quick settings tile for tethering. Logcat trigger is the most reliable and doesn't need the screen on. One way to catch the correct Logcat for your device is to create a macro with Logcat trigger. Put * in the text field and set the action to log event, now connect a device and disable
