Automation - unable to turn hotspot on I am using a device running on AOSP 8.1

Recently I wanted to automatically turn hotspot on when device boots but Macrodroid is unable to do so 

Help required!
A rooted device has likely been required since Android 7, where it begun to cause DHCP issues otherwise, since Android 8.1 certainly. Earlier it depended on the device manufacturer or carrier. Automate has a Wi-Fi hotspot set state which should work in any case.
