    Add an %item_index variable to each item in a scene's menu, enabling unique images for each list item in a menu

    thomas · 0 · Posted

    Currently in scene menus (those are the lists), every item in the list reuses the same image. The only way to give each item a unique thumbnail image is if it's manually input. For variable input, it's impossible.

     

    This variable would enable variable-populated menus to have unique images for each item.  For example, if your list contains a list of image files within a folder, you'd be able to display a thumbnail of each image in its entry in the list.  And if you were displaying a list of songs, you could show a thumbnail for each song.

    Allow "Stop" Action to Interrupt "Wait"ing Task

    Nick Betcher · 0 · Posted

    In my opinion, despite task priorities and all the other fancy (yet complicating) features/factors, a Stop action should actually stop a task (hey, concept! Haha), regardless of what it is doing. On some levels this may be difficult, but stopping a task that is currently in a Wait really shouldn't be one of those difficult situations, regardless if Tasker is using Android's alarm scheduling system or an internal timer system.

    It's trivial to test:

    - Wait in one task

    - Attempt to Stop it in another during the other task's Wait action time.

    The task is not only not stopped,

    Cannot install Tasker, tick battery optimization

    Justjomi · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    My Tasker stopped working after 6 years on my Ugoos TV box. When trying to reinstall, it is not possible to pass the install screen with tickboxes as I am unable to tick the box battery optimization. My android TV box is always connected to power. Changing battery settings and reboots did not solve it.  What can I do?

    Add Keyguard Lock State Listener (API Level 33; Android 13)

    Nick Betcher · 3 · Last reply by Nick Betcher

    New In Android 13:

    KeyguardManager  |  Android Developers

    Please add support for the new KeyguardLockedStateListener class so that, in addition to the, "Display Unlocked" we may also have, "Display Locked." From a security hardening perspective, this is an essential feature.

    This allows for features like putting the device into a paranoid-level of security so that -- in the case of a malicious actor -- if someone uses known-exploits (via USB) to remove a user's secured lockscreen while the device is on and logged into, Tasker can protect the user. This, combined with amazing features like an "Overlay+/Allow Outside of Boundaries"

    Real Beacon Support (not via inappropriate BT Near)

    ckollars · 1 · Last reply by ckollars

    Beacons are so different from Classic Bluetooth devices they need their own tools. Although the name is the same (Bluetooth), both the operation and the usage are completely different. First the theory, then some specifics--

    Theory -In addition to being BLE devices, Beacons are a] off (not advertising) for several seconds at a time, b] have use cases that need to distinguish "nearness" as close as a few feet, c] have use cases that require responding in just a few seconds -even when off, and d] broadcast a _very_ faint signal to minimize power use (which means something as innocuous

    Feature request: an option to turn off the display *with* fade-out ?

    Soudane GMTA · 0 · Posted

    In the "help" text for the display Turn Off action, we have the following text:   "On some devices it takes about 3 seconds for it to really turn off, on others it might take around 10 seconds. Either way, a fully black screen will be shown while the screen doesn't really turn off."   Could we have a new option for the Turn Off action which would allow the display to fade out without it being covered by the black screen? Sometimes, this fade-out behavior is desirable when the display is being turned off.   Thank you very much

    Action/Shortcut to open the Running Tasks and Active Profile Monitor directly

    Simsim · 0 · Posted

    Would be cool if we had a way to open the Running Tasks and Active Profile Monitor directly via shortcut or an action. So we can open them directly from a notification for example.

    Could be done via a new "Show Monitoring" action with option to choose between tasks, profiles and runlog. The "Show Runlog" action could be integrated in the "Show Monitoring" action.

    android 12 wifi control not working with tasker settings 1.3 or 1.4

    schalou · 4 · Last reply by João Dias

    I used to use tasker together with tasker settings 1.3 to control Wi-Fi on my Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 with android 11.

    This worked until last weekend, when my phone got an update to android 12 by xiaomi.

    I then updated  to tasker settings 1.4 from github, which seems to be the latest revision but still Wi-Fi control doesn't work anymore.

    Is there something I am missing here?

    Allow user to log local variable names and their values, then view them on list dialog.

    urkindagood · 1 · Last reply by urkindagood

    Suggested feature.

    1. Log Variable Names, Their Values, and at which actions their values changed.
    2. Prioritize showing mentioned variables over generated variables. (Like in variable select list.)
    3. Bring user additional dialog to manipulate selected entry.
      1. Copy variable
      2. Copy values
      3. Bring to action where selected variable's value changed

    Something like this.

    Reason

    1. It's a unnecessarily recursive & stressful work to know variable values by flashing them one by one.
    2. It's frustratingly hard to find where the variables change for longer action lines, especially those who generated a bunch of variables.

    Benefit

    1. Inspecting variables becomes easier & convenient.

    Hopefully this could be implemented somehow.

    Custom location radius and shape, combining conditions, adding some events

    Marek · 1 · Last reply by Azek

    Custom location radius and shape:

    Some local areas like schools are not exactly 100m or 200m in size, nor are they perfectly circle, so I would like to see a feature to define custom radii when editing the location condition and a feature to create a custom shaped location, defined by 3 or more coordinates. This is because I don't want to turn on some profile when walking past my school.

    Combining conditions:

    Writing the first part, I realise that there is no feature to combine conditions like location and state, or time and event. This would be a quality

    So far Tasker doesn't have a way to start video recording, I don't know if it could be because of a Google play privacy policy, but I remember that there are other automation apps with this option

    Problem with AutoInput and app saying it is unregistered

    Hello,

     

    I have a task using the AutoInput plug. However, recently, possibly since my Samsung Galaxy FE S20 got updated to Android 12 I get the following error message: "Please unlock the app os start a trial to use this"

     

    I purchased the app some time ago. I cannot find anywhere in the app where I can check its registration status.   I'm hoping you can help me, it's very useful to me.

    Allow named object variables and allow actions with multiple variables to be saved as object properties

    Pete · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I often wish I could create objects instead of grouping variables by naming convention. It can get messy if you have 2 or more of the same types of objects to track. If named objects could be implemented, it would be possible to store multiple values to a single variable name and constrain usable properties to the object's structure. The structure would help 'group' properties for variables of a similar type.

    In terms of integration, it would be great to have the option and flexibility with actions that output multiple variables. A good use case is creating a profile for

    Request javascript function

    noobOne · 1 · Last reply by MrVulnerable

    Hi this is a request for addition of a built-in javascript function for setting display brightness (eg displayBrightness(int level, bool disable safeguard, bool ignore current level). As it is now, HTML sliders created in tasker webview element must call performTask() to change brightness level, causing laggy behavior on slider value change. Thanks!

    Selecting multiple elements in a Scene together, or clubbing them into a single group.

    MrVulnerable · 0 · Posted

    I believe scenes are the most powerful tool in Tasker, which expands the scope of area where all we can implement advanced automation.

    But the most difficult thing when it comes to Tasker is, modifying a scene, where we can't move an entire scene together. We have to move each and every single element in it, one by one. This is a hectic task especially when there are too many tiny elements in a scene.

    It would've been much easier to reposition or resize the elements in a scene, if we had an option to select multiple elements at a time,

    HTTP Request still adds errors to logs, even if continue after error is set and errors handled

    Colin Hemming · 1 · Last reply by needtopost

    Could a "don't log errors" be added to HTTP Request?

    I am attempting to contact a server that is not available 24/7 and, even though my app deals with being unable to fulfil the request (usually "no route to host"), I am still greeted with a mass of error reports when I open the Tasker application, which could wipe out or obfuscate real issues.

    New media test action/state monitor

    Tyler T · 3 · Last reply by Lucas Abido Figueiro

    An action that can be performed inside of a task that will test and return the current media state variables similar to the event trigger "Music track changed". This would allow tasker to be configured to check the media state in the event that tasker detected music playing, was disabled, and then re-enabled but music was no longer playing. Basically a manual check in case of error. 

    The only way I can see currently to do this, is to configure a AutoNotification state monitor that checks for media notifications with certain apps. But would be great to have built into
