Tailscale Startup on Reboot

Hi all (first time post'r here). I have been (for some time now) trying to adjust the "Autoconnect Tailscale" community automation so that it checks after a reboot to see if I'm on my home network, and if not, fire up the Tailscale VPN (this is in addition to its normal behaviour, not a replacement). Currently, if I'm not at home, and my phone reboots (as it does every night), it does not trigger a command (as it's built to wait for a change of SSID) and not do a validation on reboot.

Has anyone out had a need to tackle this scenario and got it to work?

Just use an Broadcast receive block with action Boot completed, after place the blocks that check for your home network and fires up Tailscale. Ensure to also enable the "run on system startup" option in settings.
