Alternatives to Tasker (lemmy.one)

Curious what alternatives to Tasker are available for Android. Slight preference to FOSS options, but any suggestions are welcome ๐Ÿ˜

The last time I used one of these apps was almost a decade ago on my S4, kind of missing the convenience stuff I had set up back then - like adjusting the volume/opening apps/changing ringer mode when certain devices connect and disconnect, when the charger is connected etc.

It would be good to outline what features you think are missing/issues with tasker, as it would guide the answers your gonna get.

Bixby actions exists, definitely not FOSS, but it is very basic amd easy. No where near as powerful.

Macrodroid and automate.

Samsung phones have built-in Bixby routines: better integrated with the system, but pretty simple.

There is Easer in fdroid but I never got it to work. Macrodroid in the Play store is easier to set up. You can search and download various macros others have created.
