For example, from the Macrodroid action configuration, selecting the “Activate scene” action and selecting a room/group and a scene, and then testing the action, does not have any result. The equivalent configuration in the Tasker app works as expected.
I have also tried the “Toggle”, “Switch on”, and “Start automation” actions, and none of those seem to work either.
Hi, the solution is to disable battery optimizations for Hue Essentials. This is needed when triggering automations from Macrodroid. The app should show an error notification about this which I will look into why that is not happening.
Battery optimization must be disabled when using Macrodroid because otherwise things like network access could be blocked in Hue Essentials. You can do this in your phone settings
Please let me know whether this resolves the issue for you.
Disabling battery optimizations for the Hue Essentials app in the Android app settings seemed to fix the problem for me! My automations involving Hue Essentials seem to work now. Thank you so much for sharing the solution!
