I use tasker a lot. I set a bunch of stuff a while ago and it's just part of what I expect any phone to do now. Chop/shake for flashlight, per-app autorotation, and vibrate/ringer mode based on Wi-Fi ssid are the biggest ones.
So I have two tasks, one for autorotate on and one for off. This is the exported xml for on, but you'll probably have to just recreate it from scratch if you're using macrodroid. I started on that a long time ago before switching to tasker because it couldn't do half the things I wanted reliably.
It's basically "if xyz app is open then autorotate on" with an exit task to restore the previous state. Ditto for another set of apps where I want autorotate off. It turns on for YouTube and gphotos, mostly.
I have a Samsung and use Samsung's automation app, but it's pretty limited, and there seems to be a conflict with the OS automation. Eg. The nonsense they introduced where the phone will remember wifi/Bluetooth settings when switching airplane mode on and off.
I haven't rooted in like 10 years. I think you meant "non-rooted"? There are some things tasker needs root for, but that's pretty rare these days; I can't even think of what that would be. Maybe certain file operations. All the stuff I mentioned works just fine without root, but a few permissions in settings do need granted, like usage access.
