MacroDroid for Automation of OwnTracks #993

Open ghost opened 3 years ago

ghost commented 3 years ago

Using the automation steps here: https://owntracks.org/booklet/features/android/#automation-via-tasker-automagic-etc, I took what I could to use for MacroDroid.

My automation is setup at the top of every hour to change to significant monitoring mode, to essentially force my location update.

Whether or not I am currently using Significant Monitoring Mode when the automation is triggered, OwnTracks will cycle to the next automation mode (Move, Quiet, Manual, etc) instead of staying on Significant Monitoring Mode.

Any idea with this one?

Have you tried setting the extra key to be monitoring with the value of 1? If OT gets an intent to change the monitoring mode but doesn't see an extra specifically called monitoring, it just cycles to the next mode, which sounds like what it's doing for you.
