How I use Tasker

I use tasker to do a lot of things. A lot of them are just telling the computer to do something but it's nice being able to link any task to an icon on the homescreen.

Here is a list of things I use Tasker to help me with:

Turn on auto rotate only in certain apps, internet, gallery, news and video.

Tell the name of caller for incoming calls. Also Tells the computer where I pause music and put the name on my screen as well as tell me who's calling.

Tell name of sender when receiving SMS. Also send info to computer so I can show the message and sender on my screen. Computer also tells me who sent the message.

Turn screen off after 3 seconds if screen is turned down and proximity sensor is active.

Tell my computer when battery is low, showing a notification on my screen. Also get an audio warning if I let it fall too low.

Replaced the alarm sound when I wake up to instead turn on the TV and stereo in my bedroom and start playing music videos. Also tells me what time it is, how long I slept (time passed since I plugged in the charger), if I have anything scheduled in my calendar, what the weather is like. I can also set a snooze time and I'll get audio warnings to remind me to get up.

Keep track of where I am by looking at the phone tower ID numbers. When I'm coming home my phone turns on the computer and turn on the lights in the hallway. Then when I open the door my computer can welcome me home and start playing some music.

Copy clipboard content from Computer to Phone or from Phone to Computer.

Start and unlock my work computer when coming to work.

If I can't find my phone I can ask it using my computer and it will return the GPS coordinates and if the phone is home it will also play a song so I can find it.

Keep track of if my home/work computer is on or off.

Keep track of what IP address the computer I'm using has, so while I'm home all commands are sent to my home computer and while I'm at work they are sent to my work computer. Or if I'm outside and don't have any computer to talk to.

Keep a list of errands to run at certain situations like waking up, leaving work or coming home. I'll also be reminded at those situations. New errands can be added using a google form, making it easy to for example have anyone at home remind me to buy milk on the way home without interrupting or forcing me to remember it.

When connecting two phones I can have them sync all photos taken in the last X hours with just a couple clicks.

Can ask my computer to turn on or off any light, TV or stereo.

Can change the volume and control media playback on my computer.

Act as a remote for my media center.

Sync photos and documents with dropbox when I'm coming home.

Is there a way to make tasker set my phone alarm say 1.5hrs before certain calendar events?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] lazarus0000:
I use it to turn GPS on and off for access only by the apps I want. So, when I use the camera, GPS turns on so I can geotag the photos. When I use the maps or Nav or MyTracks apps, GPS comes on and stays on until I close them out.

But just updated to 4.3 and it seems Tasker is not, in fact, up to the task... It no longer works for those profiles / apps... I don't know if it's a Tasker issue or if I somehow screwed it up when I restored through TiBu. That's happened before as well...

Anyone got any ideas? I am not a fan of constant GPS. I understand that it's no longer the battery drain it used to be but that doesn't preclude my privacy concerns. I know anyone who cares to can find my location via network so it's mostly a peace of mind issue...

With android 4.3 you need to install the secure helper apk, when you go to secure settings you should get a warning that secure helper is not installed and it will prompt you to install it
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] lazarus0000:
I ended up thinking just that way & got it fixed. Thought I'd heard that permission changes had altered Tasker's ability to play nicely with GPS but also figured the Dev for Secure Settings had figured a work around. Back to working flawlessly! Thanks for the help!

Should be easy, just download the calendar and check event names. If something match just save the time and use the set alarm command in Tasker.

Here is a good base to fetch calendar events:

pocketables.com/2013/05/tasker-pai-series-google-calendar-multi-event-fetcher.html

---------- Post added at 02:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:15 AM ----------

This is the one I'm using, by default it only fetch the first event of the day but it has some more info on how to set it up:

pocketables.com/2012/07/tasker-google-calendar-event-announcer-task-download.html

(I can't post links yet so you'll have to copy paste)

Then you can have a profile with a time event so it triggers once a day or whatever you prefer. The only problem I have had with setting alarms is that Tasker creates a new alarm every time so you'll have to manually remove them every now and then.

Alarm sound is always default, I had some problem finding a way to change the default. I found it can be done in ES File Explorer but there might be an easier way I overlooked.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] v1ks:
hi i was wondering if someone can guide me in the right direction for creating a profile for the below....

At my current work place i have two wifi connections, Connection X is near my desk and the wifi range is no more than 150m due to walls etc and Connection Y is all over the building.

I prefer to use connection x as this is a faster connection when im near my desk or within the range and then connection y when im out of range of connection x. I want to be able to switch between connection so that it my phone connects to connection x the moment im within the range and connection y when im out of range.

I have tried to play around with the wifi near option and then in the task signal strength but haven't managed to successfully get the above to work.

any help would much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] srijan4:
I guess an easy way would be to use a set of nfc tags on or near your desk.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] v1ks:
would you know how i could do this in tasker? im a novice user when it comes to using this application hence my post...
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] srijan4:
There are lots of tutorials online... you can search for "nfc with tasker".

Install secure settings app from playstore and also install helper from that app.

Secure setting app provides plugins for tasker. It is having option for location services. But you have to be rooted for this.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Armandopjr:
I got the task for GPS and Location Service, but it doesn't toggle the access location in Google settings. I have secure settings, but it says I don't need helper. I'm on a Galaxy S4, and I am rooted.

But having options for me. I am attaching some snaps for your reference.

Secure setting will toggle location service as shown in below.

Checkout, it shows under helper in secure settings.

Working normal for me. One more thing, I have relaced helper with its alternative in secure setting. You can also try that. Let me know, is it working for you or not.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Armandopjr:
That's actually all working for me, it all turns on just fine. I just have not been able to toggle this one in the actual Google settings. It's separate from the GPS toggle. Is it possible?

Realy nice list. Can you plz share thows profiles. You can remove your private info from profiles, so we can edit it.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Telorast:
Sure, first time exporting. Hope I got it right:

New users can't post links... dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22723263/Tasker/Export.prj.xml

(Obviously the icons won't work.)

1. Screen off:

It's two profiles, the first checks screen on, orientation down and proximity then start a task that waits a couple seconds then briefly sets a variable that triggers the second profile.

The second profile also checks if a call is going on and if proximity is still active. If all is well I turn the screen off.

2. Battery:

If battery drops below 20% I send an update to the computer every drop. The computer then runs this code in EventGhost:

Battery EventGhost script:

if eg.event.payload[1] == '15' or eg.event.payload[1] == '5':
eg.plugins.BroadcastListener.Broadcast(u'event', u'Vox.Speak&&Simon, Your ' + eg.event.payload[0] + u' Needs Charging', 9521)
eg.plugins.EventGhost.ShowOSD(eg.event.payload[0] + u' battery level: ' + eg.event.payload[1], u'0;-64;0;0;0;700;0;0;0;0;3;2;1;34;Calibri', (150, 20, 39), (0, 0, 0), 5, (0, 200), 0, 5.0, False)

I send bothe device name and battery level to the computer so I can see if it's my tablet or phone that needs charging.

3. Wake up:

I'm using the stock alarm clock and have one alarm named Goodmorning (silent ring tone). If an alarm by that name goes off it triggers my wakeup task. It will start my computer and let it know I'm waking up so I can turn on the stereo, music and coffee maker or whatever you have plugged in.

It will also verify that the computer is on and start playing some local music if anything went wrong.

I also have a calendar task in there that will fetch my google calendar and extract my first appointment for the day. It depends on phone date formatting and API keys to your calendar so would need some tinkering to get working on a different phone.

I have changed the exact content of the wake up task a lot and I'm sure everyone has a slightly different idea of a perfect wake up. Anything from what music/podcast/radio to play, if you care about the weather forecast before you open your eyes, if you want to put a radio controlled dimmer on your lights for a Sunrise light experience or just turn the coffee maker on. It's easy to catch the wake up in tasker, then it's more a matter of what you want to do with it and if the rest of your setup supports it.

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] WunderXDA:
[REQUEST]

Hello there, ye Titans of Tasker! I've been on the hunt for a Screensaver, and come across some pretty sub-par apps. None of them automatically activate during a period of inactivity, they just start when you dock/plug in the phone. I use my phone through my car stereo, with full features & touch control via ARLiberator, but at night all that app screen can be bright as hell (even with a dark wallpaper). Hence my need for a screensaver.

Is there a Tasker profile that could accomplish this? I'm all ears and gratitude. Just wish I had time to dive in to Tasker myself, I've had quite a few false starts..

Also, if there's a better thread for my request, my apologies, I'll move the post as soon as I'm told.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mobuch:
This should be fairly achievable I think.

Create 1st, on event profile enabling 2nd, 3rd and 4th profiles when you put your phone into dock.

In the 2nd profile put shell script doing something like this, in loop:

1. Set variable 'timer' to 50

2. Wait 50s

3. Set 'timer' variable to 0

Repeat all steps continously

3rd profile should be triggered on event, everytime 'timer' variable is set to 0 it should dim or off your screen.

4th profile is for handling user interactions, it should trigger each time you touch screen and reset 'timer' variable back to 50, by stopping and restarting 2nd profile.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bad355camaro:
I use an app called screen filter, it's available in the play store for free and it's a tasker plugin as well so take has full control over it, you just set the % dim you want. It works with my appradio, in tasker if you want to clear it when you disconnect/close ARliberator you set the screen brightness to 100 and the notification clears.

Really wished my XDA app would quote the correct person, not the first time it's happened and it even shows the correct quote when I'm typing it.:mad:

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] stueycaster:
I'm a big fan of the Viper4Android app. I'd like set Tasker up to toggle the app profile between my Headphone and Car effect profiles. It would be ideal to have it toggle the "headphone profile" when I plug in the headphones and the "car profile" when I plug in the USB plug from my car dock. Is there a way to do this? I'm a real noob to Tasker and it looks pretty complicated to me.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] binlalo:
For the headphones profile you can use event - hardware - headphones connected and then add the task you want. For the other one I can't help... Hope this works...
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] bad355camaro:
Set up a profile and set a new variable to to 1 if connected to connected to dc power and clear variable for your end task. Then go to another profile and set up an if statement that if your new variable = 1 do you car profile, else headphone profile.

If you are using headphones with a mic, there is also an option when setting up your profile to choose headphones connected and you can choose any, with mic, and without mic. From there you can make 2 profiles, 1 for headphones with a mic and another for no mic fot your car. (This is how I have mine set up)

Thank you for the detailed information.

Can you tell me, how can i set the task profile data on/off, to start only when the wii-fi is off. This could be applyed even to task "Data On Periodically", because, I think, there is no need for the mobile data to be put on and off by a task if I am on wii-fi.

Thank you for the answer.

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mobuch:
Hey,

You can check 'if' checkbox in every action and use built in variable, %WIFI, see wether it matches 'on' or 'off' . Action will start only if 'if' condition is satisfied.

To stop whole tasks I would add Stop action and set 'If' to see if wifi is on. It would stop whole task when it's on.

Actually, I've added this to couple of my actions.

From tasker web site:

WiFi Status (dynamic)

%WIFI

Whether WiFi is on or off. Note: if WiFi is enabling or disabled, in fact anything but enabled, it's classed as off.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Timar:
I tried, but for some reason it does not work. The only way was to add a second state to the profile, but not with IF....with %PACTIVE_name of the profile, and the inverted box checked. I know it sounds complicated , but that is the way i managed to get it to work.
