I cant make Tasker tasks work.

And if I try to edit the task activation phrases, the Commandr closes.

Any tips?

Same problem here.

Thank, useful app
[Android Apps and Games] dokusan:
Same problem here with Tasker calls from Commandr app.

In order to make it work again, you need to use

commandr plugin

in Tasker and add multiple profiles for your voice tasks.

add new profile > event > plugin > commandr for google now. With small RegExs you're done.

example:

(.*save|.*backup|.*copy)(.*phone|.*memory)

matches:

please save my phone

make a backup of the smartphone

copy phone's memory, thanks

Return to Previous App Problem

A problem I'm hoping someone can help me fix:

I was hoping to use commandr to control brightness and volume when I'm running my SatNav app (Route 66 Navigate), and also hopefully to phone contacts. When I use OK Google, for example to phone a contact, it opens a page that doesn't disappear when it's finished, thereby covering up my navigation app; so I can only then get back to the app by touching the phone - I'm trying to go handsfree here! So I hoped that commandr, especially with its "return to previous app" setting would fix this.

It doesn't, in fact it makes things worse. If I only have my navigation app running and say "ok Google: volume 60" - it does change the volume BUT it then opens all the following screens, the first of which is in front of my navigation app:

A web page with search results for volume 60

A google app pages that says "Get Now cards"

The same happens with the command Screen Brightness x

I haven't enabled any Google Now cards, but can't find any way to completely disable Google Now - the only settings are via the google app or the google settings app. Commandr says that return to previous app doesn't work if you are using Google Now Launcher - no idea what that is - I haven't installed anything other than what comes as standard on my Samsung Galaxy S4 (with latest Lollipop OTA upgrade).
[Android Apps and Games] dokusan:
"Return to previous app" behaves strangely for me too. I've managed to achieve something similar to what you want by using Tasker and its Commandr plugin: when Commandr kicks in, tasker calls the "go home" function, thus stopping additional google search or whatever, and calls the app I want. actually I have a "car mode" scene for that, a bit more complicated.
[Android Apps and Games] SypoGames:
Realy useful app
[Android Apps and Games] imcass:
I'm having a mixed experience with Commandr. I own both a Nexus 9 with stock android and an LG G4 with LG's UI.

Neither one of them recognizes all the commands, even if they're all activated. The N9 recognizes more, with the G4 just refusing to activate most tasks.

Another thing I noticed is that if I enable the xposed module on my G4, to make Commandr work with my Moto 360 v2, it just completely freaks out. If I, for example set the volume to 20, it just sets it to 100%, and not to say that it just works like only 10% of the times, for all commands.
[Android Apps and Games] babylovebabie:
i'll try this :)
[Android Apps and Games] LukeSeesThrough:
This is the second time I've tried this app and the 2nd phone I've tried it on and it doesn't work for me. The last phone was my Note 4 and now it doesn't work on my Nexus 6P on PureNexus. (Example: goodnight gives me the definition of goodnight rather, battery status takes me to battery apps)

[Android Apps and Games] seb31:
Hello

I can't run commandr with my G watch. I'm root and installed xposed with module it works in my phone but not in my watch. Please help me
[Android Apps and Games] dokusan:
It worked for me since yesterday by using commandr plugin with tasker. Unfortunately with the last Google search update on my jelly bean it doesn't seem to capture voice commands from google anymore.

Given that the last update of this app is from a year ago, I'd say I've reached the last chapter. Now I'll have to search a similar app to rethink my voice-activated life. So long Commandr, 't was nice.
[Android Apps and Games] somerandomname:
Yeah I am also having the same problem since the last google update it isn't working anymore
[Android Apps and Games] S.AMU:
Did you found any other App?
[Android Apps and Games] dokusan:
Yes, it's a Tasker addon, Tasker Now by Baldapps. It's not for free, but it's cheap, 1 euro. And maintained.

It's like Autovoice, but I think it's easier to understand. With very few adaptations to regex and variables I switched voice-activated profiles to that, and I added some voice-activated tasks to match those few integrated voice commands of Commandr I was actually using.

If Commandr will revive in some form, and depending on its features, I could revaluate it, but for now I'm afraid I'll stick with that addon.
[Android Apps and Games] somerandomname:
Yeah this isnt working for me either. Anyone have recommendations on how to get an app to activate waze and fill it's text search field and then hit the search button
[Android Apps and Games] Droid_Mg:
I just tried it works. I'm on a nexus 6 with 6.0.1 March update. I've also tested custom voice commands from my Moto 360 and it works. Here is what I did to get it to work:

- enable Commandr in accessibility services

- enable Tasker in accessibility services

- allow external access in Tasker

- installed the Google Search API v1.7 Xposed module

- update hooks in Google Search API then reboot

In Tasker use Event > Plugins > Commandr to create a new profile.

That's it.

I'm not sure what to do with the pause music test. There's a line that you can type text, but it just turns red. I tested Now directly and "pause music" is the command to pause said music. Even "note to self pause music" works just fine. But for the Commandr app, what is it wanting here?
[Android Apps and Games] hatdrc:
It wants you to type "note to self pause music" on the line below

I cannot figure out how to use the app with tasker! Please help.

Edit - never mind it finally loaded the profiles...they just didn't show up at first
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
Update 1.1 Pushed!

- Multiple fixes to the setup flow (sorry about that!)

- Multiple crash and bug fixes

- Fixes for a subset of Samsung devices

- Set multiple phrases for a single command by separating the phrases with commas

- Tasker fixes

- New Command: Read aloud unread SMS, now you can say "note to self unread SMS"

- This was the most voted command, keep on voting!

- This is the reason for the sms and contact permissions

Update may take awhile to get updated on the play store...
[Android Apps and Games] hyogga:
Fantastic app, thanks.

Anything about suporting other languages or being able to change "note to self" to other phrase?
[Android Apps and Games] kennymck43:
There is a chance to feed this dynamic responses?

I mean, Commandr works with notes... What do you think if each of us brings new answers to common questions?

The notes could be shared and those that no has any response, anyone can answer it.

Each note could have 4 o 5 answers and the same community maintains the questions/answers.

More questions, more answers ;)

Would be fun with jokes or another kind of requests.
[Android Apps and Games] boldvishal:
Tasker and other issues

Is there any specific phrase to be used for tasker? When I say "Note to Self <Task_Name>, it does not execute the tasker command although I can see the command list in the tasker list.

Also, when I executed flashlight on - it did turn on the flash light but flash light turn off did not work as it interpreted as " flash light off" (Note the space in between flash and light). Even there was a permanent notification left in my notification window which could be done away only by a restart.
[Android Apps and Games] pep0te:
Hey,

Could you put an example with Tasker?

Edit: I didn't click on external control -.- now it works.

A M A Z I N G.
[Android Apps and Games] CPTBeaker:
This app seems to work very well so far and the Tasker integration makes this

really

powerful.

I don't however see a way to manage the list of Tasker tasks that Commandr displays. I made a few tasks in Tasker and messed around with them in Commandr for a while. I then decided to delete these tasks from Tasker, but they still show up in Commandr after deleted from Tasker. Commandr doesn't refresh the list.
[Android Apps and Games] RSenG2x:
What version of the app are you using? It sounds a lot like an issue fixed in 1.1... As for the command you can always change the phrase that will activate a command...
[Android Apps and Games] boldvishal:
I am using the latest version of 1.1. How do I change the phrase?

Some user guides please.

Edit: I am able to use tasker commands now but unable to change the phrase of "Note to Self". Is that possible?

There is this app for xposed that kinda does the same but the Dev I think that stopped working on it, can you integrate xposed support so there is no need for saying note to self? Here is the xposed module http://xdaforums.com/xposed/modules/mod-google-search-api-t2554173/post48109086

Edit:

Google API is really annoying to configure and you have to go through a lot on things autovoice and all that to make it work . Oh well I think that for OFFLINE support would be useful like this : I create a contact called flashlight and you all know that google now when theres no internet (offline) let's you say call *name of the person* and it would be nice that when I say "call flashlight":victory: it toggles the flashlight, could you make that possible? Offline google now? That would be so great reallyy:laugh::victory::victory::laugh:

Hi,

I created and tested a lampshade.io task in Tasker. Named it lampshade.

Version 2.0 Released!

2.0:

- No more "Note to Self"! Found an improved workaround which uses an accessibility service to listen for commands. (I have kept the "note to self" for users uncomfortable about the increased permissions)

- No more waiting for "saving note...". Commands happen instantly.

- Commands now work offline! Even the note command which used to only work online

- Bug and Crash fixes

The apk is available on the OP. Google's servers usually take a couple of hours to update...

[Android Apps and Games] noellenchris:
Wow , with the latest installed this works so seamless with google now. The best advantage over future updates with Google Now is the tasker integration. I have to brush up on tasker again, since it's been a few years. But anything really is possible with tasker once you figure it out. Only thing I'm trying to figure out now is: Does the "Note" "pick up milk" (selected Evernote in wizard) work by default? I have tasker, but do I need to create a "Note" task and assign it to open a new note in tasker? Or does it work without the tasker bits already setup? Hope you understand, because I get a message toast saying if I changed default note taking app, I need to do the setup wizard thing again. I've done the setup and keep selecting Evernote, but it never works. Thanks and thanks for this awesome program that bridges Google Now to what ever we need.

Also, I don't buy a ton of apps, but I will certainly buy this when the option appears!

Working great on my Note 3 with a stock deodexed 4.4.2 ROM, just a little niggle though, enabling the accessibility service for Commandr disables a bunch of features (Air gestures, air view in Samsung/TouchWiz ROMs (due to Accessibility service restrictions, happens for any Accessibility service) that I use, and saying note to self before every command feels a bit weird, so a root mode that requires neither the accessibility service nor saying "Note to self" every time would be greatly appreciated :)

[Android Apps and Games] gregferns:
Hi,

I set it up nicely and i had 2 options while setting it up GMAIL and ANY.DO which i had just installed... It did not show me any option to use Commander option.... But it doesnt matter.

I used it with FLASHLIGHT ON and it came up... but FLASHLIGHT OFF did not work.. I think someone mentioned this also earlier.

EDIT :: Tried FLASHLIGHT ON and OFF commands with NOTE TO SELF COMMAND and it came on but for it to go OFF it gave an error message "Command not found to trn flash light off"

ALso, i tried WIFI ON and it opened the settings and went into WIFI options but it waited for me to Manually turn on the wifi...

Even WIFI OFF works the same way, it requires me to maunally put it off.

Let me know if you require any logs or anything from my side...

Otherwise you doing a fantastic job mate,, keep it up.

Cheers

[MENTION=4673030]RSenG2x[/MENTION] I have a suggestion, it would be useful if we were able to combine commands. For instance, "turn off bluetooth turn on wifi". Love the app btw. I've been doing this forever with a combination of tasker, xposed, modules and auto voice, but this really polishes the experience. Also I'm not sure if this is possible but it would be nice to be able to snooze alarms using your app. Google can be always listening when the screen is on so this should be possible.

Hey guys, sorry I know there is a bunch of work to be done on Commandr, but I'm on vacation until next week and internet is super spotty... When I get back expect some updates :)

Also didn't have time to answer all posts in this thread. Will do this when I have an actual keyboard

Unfortunately android security prevents me from toggling GPS without root. There is a hack available for older devices, but the only solution for newer ones is to use Tasker and secure settings (root only)

Note to self will always work, its more to just not confuse users... Didn't have time to fully fix this, but you'll notice that if you turn off the accessibility service it will work. Will patch in next update...

Please make sure you are using the same command you have configured in Commandr settings. For offline commands you must type the command.

Nope.

See the second post.
[Android Apps and Games] reeved:
Still not sure

I did but I'm not too sure how to create a command in tasker. I create a new task but I dont know what to do from there on. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do in the task screen with the IFs and so on.

Also, I went through the thread and saw you say that v2.1 would fix the "Tasker problem please reinstall commandr" but everytime I open the searchbar the message pops up and stays on for like 3 mins.

I want to help with the translations.

Is it correct that the "_phrases" strings are a comma separated list of voice commands to activate a certain function? I.e. if my language has more synonyms for the same command than the original "_phrases" value, I can add more to the string? Or does it have to be an exact translation with the exact same number of commas in it?
