Tasker Shutoff Profile

I am a noob when it comes to tasker, and i will attempt to figure out my desired automation if someone can confirm it is possible.

So i have a secondary SG3 that i plan on using for music in my car, i seem to always forget to turn off the phone so the battery is always dead.

So my question, Is it possible to set a profile that will automatically shut down the phone when it is idle/ un used for say 20 mins?.

Thanks in advance, if there is a profile out there for this function a link to it would be great.

thanks again

Do you connect the phone through BT to the Car?

The reason I ask is it'd be easier to have it shutdown based on loss of a specific BT connection, so as soon as you turn off the vehicle, it looses connection and shutsdown or starts a timer to do so.

This does work, although you'll likely need to buy Secure Settings Pro.

Create a new profile, based on Event, Phone, Phone Idle >

Dont worry about task a name, you can always add one later.

Add a Task, Wait (for however long you need)

Next a Variable Set, Named something like %RunSecondTask set to 1 or Yes (Make sure to use an uppercase letter to be it a shared variable)

Create another New Profile, based on Event, Phone, Phone Idle, (a second Check to determine the phone is still idle)

No need to name again,

Add a Variable Clear, or %RunSecondTask

*Need SecureSettings Pro here probably*

Add a Plugin, Secure Settings, Root Actions, Reboot Options, Shutdown.

Now go back and on the second profile, add an opening condition (hold down on the current "Phone Idle"). Make it so if Variable Value of %RunSecondTask is Yes.

I have tested this, however it does depend on what is classed as idle, I went to the mall just now and while driving there my phone posted the notification I added that the timer was started, and while inside my phone did shutdown.

Ok, after looking at this I suddenly realised I made a mistake, and while it worked it was untidy.

This only require one Profile.. not two.

Start with a New Profile: Event, Phone, Phone Idle:

Add function: Task, Goto. Select "Action Label" and make the label something like "Second Pass". Add an "If" to this of "%passtwo" matches "yes" (Don't worry about the error when you create this one).

Add function: Task, Wait. Select the time you desire:

Add function: Task, If. Make the Condition "%passtwo" matches "yes", and also give it a Label of "Second Pass" from above ^. (Will fix the error from before on the Goto above also).

Add function: Plugin, Secure Settings, Root Actions, Reboot Options, Shutdown.

Add function: Variable, Variable Clear for "%passtwo".

Add function: Task, Goto. Select "Action Label" and make it "End".

Add function: Task, End If.

Add function: Variables, Variable Set. Make the variable name something like "passtwo" (lowercase so it is internal) and give it a value of "yes":

Add function: Alert, Flash. Make it say something like "Goodbye" or "Shutdown" or "Shuting Down". Give this a Label of "End".

Done.

Headset to Bluetooth Switch

I don't know jack about tasker, and rather than get frustrated and trial and error my way through I thought I would ask...

I listen to Pandora in my car with an AUX 3.5mm headphone jack right into my stereo. I also have a BT for my phone calls. In order to use my BT in the event of a phone call I have to unplug the headphone jack otherwise the call audio routes to my car speakers and the caller cannot hear me.

What I am looking for is something along this logic line:

1. Headphone plugged in

2. BT ON and CONNECTED

3. Phone call answered

4. Call audio goes to BT

Doable? Anybody already have one for this?

Many thanks in advance...

Got a few music-related:

When I swipe an NFC tag, do this:

Open bluetooth

Check if connected to speaker

Open poweramp, leave screen on, auto rotate screen

Play

And then there's auto sync from Box.

Every 2 hours:

Open WiFi

Run Foldersync

I'm trying to automate a couple of tasks using Tasker but I can't figure out a way to get the profiles right. Maybe someone could help me:

1) I would like to create a profile that recognizes when the keyboard is visible (I use SwiftKey) - I could not find anything helpful on the internet. This profile will trigger task to disable Expanded Desktop - I have already figured out a way to do it (I use Pie Controls thanks to GravityBox and I find that it interferes badly with the keyboard).

2) I would like to create another profile that recognizes when Google Maps is set on navigation mode - I could not figure out a way to that either, even after a lot of research. This would trigger a task to diminish the screen brightness, disable auto-rotation, set Location Services to High Accuracy and turn WiFi on (these thing will come in handy when I am driving and using my phone as a GPS).

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks a lot!

Do you have the XML for your setups?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] vileSpyderPig:
I had this issue, old car no bluetooth connection. Solved just today lol.

Simplest solution:

download SoundAbout from the market place.

Make sure your bluetooth headset is connected b4 you launch app. So its available as a choice in app.

Launch app

For Media audio select "Wired Headphones"

For Phone call audio select "Bluetooth (mono)(your BT Headset name)"

I'll now be able to leave the 3.5mm headphone jack plugged into the phone. If a call comes in, it will be routed thru bluetooth headset. Once call is over, music continues playing through car stereo via headphone jack. (tested witth goggle music)

I went a step farther with Tasker and a plugin that allows tasker to control media apps

Tasker:

Profile

Headset Plugged Any​

Task

Start Google Music​

Media Utilities Action

Configuration Play(Smart)​

If tasker detects a headphone jack is connected it will play google music

Profile

BT Connected LG HBS700​

Task

Pause Start Google Music​

Wait 5 sec

Media Utilities Action Configuration Play(Smart)​

If tasker detects my bluetooth headset is connected it will wait 5 secs to allow bluetooth connection to finish then play google music. Copy profile for a Big JamBox or similiar bluetooth speaker.

---------------------------------------------

I also do one so that as soon as I put my phone in my pocket it locks. So no butt dials or accidental app launches

conditions:

phone upside down

proximity sensor detects object close > then lock screen.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ByronJames2003:
A few of mine that I haven't seen posted

1. I have on that I created for a friend that turns on speakerphone (no BT in his car) when he makes a call

2. Car profile that turns on BT, turns off Wifi, turns off a profile that reads the name of anyone sending me a text and loads a profile that reads both the name and the message, then launches and plays my audio book. The exit tasks switches profiles so that any incoming texts have only the name of the sender read aloud to me.

3. One for when I plug my device in to power....it voice confirms that it is connected to power and also says aloud the current battery level.

"Sir, Successfully connected to power - current battery level is at XX% and charging"

I made this one because I thought I had plugged in my Note 3 one night and in the morning found that I hadn't securely attached the charger at all and no charging took place.

4. I have another that tells me aloud the battery level when it the battery is at 100/75/50/25 percent - respectively.

"Sir battery level is at 75%"

5. I have one using K9 (email) so that if I lose my phone somewhere in the house, when I receive an email (from any or specific email addresses) with the subject line of "Where is my phone?" Tasker plays a very loud alert (sound of my choosing) repeatedly until I find it (hopefully) and turn it off.

6. Same as #5 with the same message but when I receive a text (from anyone in my contact list) with the message "Where is my phone?" I made this one first but realized that I may not easily be able to contact someone to have them text me, whereas it's nearly always possible to send an email to myself.

7. I have one that launches my ToDo list every two hours.

8. One that turns on my TV, Cable, Blu Ray Player and Receiver on/off with a voice command of "Power On/Off"

9. One that turns on screen rotation for only certain apps. Exit task turns screen rotation off

10. The next good one I see on this forum - Ha

Ir Blaster

I use IR Blaster native to the Note 3 in combination with the app Smart Remote Tasker plug-in to start all the devices.

I am rooted and use the Google Now Api and AutoVoice to create a custom command - the command "Power On" launches the Tasker task to connect to the Smart Remote plug-in and turn on all the devices I have already set up there.

Need some help.

Im looking to have tasker change my SMTP setting when going from wifi to data and back again. When on wifi i can send email with my S5 default email app. But when on Data i have to change the smpt setting to my phone providers in order for it to send an email. Is there a way to get Tasker to do this for me?

Thanks.

Why not Anti-Theft profile

1. - Gets command via text

- Gets phone information ( Battery Wifi etc)

- Turns on GPS / WiFi

- Takes a picture using front and back camera and syncs it to dropbox

- Gets location

- Locks phone with PIN.

Thiefs tend to remove and switch sim cards to theirs once they have their hands on your phone to prevent you from contacting your phone in any way right? This profile might just work against that!

2. - On every boot up of phone , it checks the sim card number in the phone and matches it to yours , if it does not match , it sends an sms to selected contacts/numbers . The message will contain the current sim number . ( that way , you'll get the potential thief's number and his/her sim card number. Therefore you can continue to locate and send commands )

Of course you'll have to make tasker a system app . To prevent them from uninstalling tasker . :good:

Hope this helps .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ByronJames2003:
A new one recently made

This started out as a task that would state the time each hour.....it morphed into an hourly "chime" where I am read.....

1. The time (hour only).

2. The time of Sunset for the day (summer is fast fading - losing about 2 minutes a day)

I was going to try and add the Sunrise, but I'm never up that early and thus didn't need it)

3. The Pollen levels (as I have alllergies and often forget to take allergy meds)

4. A random motivational quote.

I have to admit I like it but it took much longer than I had anticipated to get it working correctly.....and I still tweak it every now and again.

I need some help. I'm looking for a way to automatically turn off my rooted Nexus 7 when not in use after a certain period of time. Solution A seems like it would be the easiest: power device off after 2am. However, I'd prefer Solution B: power device off after screen off for 4 hours.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] dragonfly1113:
Key thing is first knowing your secret hidden Facebook email address. I'll try to find the link to the steps I used to find it. Than I'll post the profile for tasker and the rest of the details.

---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

Step 1. Obtain secret facebook email address http://email.about.com/od/Facebook-...Your-Secret-Facebook-Upload-Email-Address.htm

2. Make sure you have Google search api version 1.4 installed. You can get it here https://www.dropbox.com/s/cev1js6f8ddscsm/GoogleSearchAPI.apk?dl=0 Also install sendsilentmail plugin for tasker and autovoice.

3. Import profile (https://www.dropbox.com/s/7dt4u7uq1jpv8r9/Facebook_Post.prf.xml?dl=0) and go into the sendsilentmail plugin in the profile and input your own email for sender address and for "to address" put in secret facebook email address obtained in step 1.

Than save and back out of profile reboot phone. Now just say "ok google...Facebook post ..(say what you want the post to say quickly but clearly) and voila post made to facebook using Google now :)

Remember you must be rooted and have xposed framework installed to have this work. If you run into any issues I'll try my best to help.

Will work on seeing if it's possible without root access.

Attached is a new tasker profile I made that will navigate me to any of my contacts so long as they have a address on their profile so I just say ok google (from watch or phone) directions to (friends name) and it opens waze (prefer this over Google maps) and starts navigating to their house.

Here is the profile if anyone else wants to use it. You need autovoice autocontacts and waze for this to work. https://www.dropbox.com/s/v6v5391ds9e4rwi/Navigatevoice.prf.xml?dl=0

Can somebody help me create a tasker profile to ring my phone when I misplace it somewhere in the house. I can get it to doing but it won't stop ringing. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] arabcamel:
I'm sure there are other ways, but the way I just thought to set this up is to:

1) have a secret phrase for an incoming text from anyone or from a specific number (like your google voice number) which will start the phone to ring.

2) have the ringing stop when you send a secret phrase back to that phone number that sent you the first one.

Custom lock screens

I've made 3 different lock screens that can be used for access to my phone or individual apps. With some tweaks email on the app and browser lock.

Anyways the first method is a passcode set not by voice recognition, this allows access to you or anyone you tell the code to.

The second is a puzzle that when solved correctly unlocks the app or phone. It also looks more appealing especially when given an artistic flare.

The last and probably my favorite so far is the one which utilizes the light sensor.

By placing my I.D. card and a LED Flashlight on the sensor the sensor detects a specific range of LUX(light) that acts as the key to my phone. It can be unlocked without the card but is harder to do due to the small range given.

On a side note I also turned the light sensor into an extra button. When pressed while awake, opens my messages or performs any task I assign. Kind of useful in gaming.

Clash of Clans shield/collector

This one takes a bit of data in the long run so I'd only use it when I'm just about to upgrade or need to keep my base safe.

As I set my screens brightness to off while I sleep. The phone is charging and keeping my base safe. It will open up the app, collect my elixir and gold, and end it. After about 4 minutes the task repeats this process. This disables other users from attacking by beating the automatic time out for an active user in CoC; which within the game can't be attacked while your playing/recently exited CoC. When morning comes when I unlock my screen the profile ends and my base is safe and I just saved tons of gems.
