    %LIGHT returns %LIGHT (the string)

    Lionel Bompart · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello !

    I wanted to create a task on an HP Touchpad running Android 4.4.4 (CM by jcsullins) to deactivate the daydream screensaver if the light is very low. The setting can be modified with secure settings plugin, that's great but I've got some issue trying to get the light sensor current value. When I try to display %LIGHT (in a flash for instance), it just displays %LIGHT. I tried several other variables, the flash shows their value properly. Is there something special to do to access %LIGHT ? I tried Automate just to check : It seems that the

    system timer input method flickers

    Kasper Guldmann · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    When creating a "Start system timer" action (which sets a normal countdown timer), you are given a horizontal slider which lets you set the countdown time from 1-86400 seconds. This is not a good input method. It is made even worse because the length of the slider depends on the value of the slider (since the value is written to the left of the slider), which causes the value to jump back and forth between two values while you're dragging the slider.

    Entering a value like 1200 seconds requires either extreme luck or incredible patience while pressing "up" 1190 times.

    Notify doesn't play the right sound

    pben · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    On my Samsung S10+ with Android 9 the action Notify with a specified file sound doesn't play this file but the default sound of incoming calls (not the default notification sound !).

    All these files are mp3. They sound right with the action play sound.

    I 've tried to relocate the file in a different folder like android/music but same problem.

    HTTP request not working and not clear why

    Michael Degatano · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I am trying to make an HTTP request to https://developer-api.nest.com in my task.  I have a working auth token and can make my request work fine in Postman and/or CURL on my PC.  But when I try the exact same request in a tasker task I get a 401.

    I have included the following in the HTTP Request action for headers:

    Am I configuring this wrong?  I followed the directions (separate name and value with a colon and no extra spaces).  Authentication is even one of the examples in the doc and this looks exactly like it so it should be working

    Android Pie and Display Brightness

    SmartPhoneLover · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi Joao,

    I would like to report an issue regarding the Display Brightness action, from latest Tasker v5.8.2.

    Some users, me included, are reporting an abnormal function of that action when changing the device brightness. Known issues:

    - First time action is opened (added to the task), a huge number is shown: 1000+ (value). So, very out of range from 0-255.

    - When running the action with 255 value set, the device brightness doesn't get changed properly.

    So, I'm not sure why is this happening. Maybe because the API changed, so old code is not working as expected in Tasker.

     When using a number picker in a scene, the %old_val is not set correctly, if you roll the number picker and then roll again before it has stopped, the %old_val becomes unset and defaults to - 2147483648 (-2^31).

    %caller reports incorrect context when the same named task is called by two profiles at the same time

    Dan · 0 · Posted

    I've discovered that %caller reports the wrong context when two different contexts with the same priority call the same named task at the same time.

    You can reproduce this by creating a named task (I called mine Collision Test), with collision handling set to "Run Both Together" with the following action:

    1. Array Push: %Collision, Position: 1, Value: %caller()

    Then call the task "Collision Test" in both the entry and exit tasks of two different contexts that have the same priority:

    • Collision Test 1: State -> Variable Value: %Collision_Test ~ true
    • Collision Test 2: State -> Variable Value: %Collision_Test !~ true

    Queueing bugs with multiple Javascriptlets

    Tasks A and B both contain JSlets, but when I run the master task only the JSlet in A executes, i.e. neither the flash B nor the vibrate occur.

    AutoWeb: Gmail API get message body data decoding needed

    anonymized · 0 · Posted

    Body data is somehow encoded and payload body data won't come through.

    Needing some way for Autoweb to decode body data.

     I found this, https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-ruby-client/issues/145 . Could I decode somehow with AutoTools?

     

    I don't know, if payload body data is needed, then it doesn't seem to go throuhg. Only body parts data comes through. I get something like this from here as below: https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/messages/get? 

     

    "body": { "size": 0 }, "parts": [ { "partId": "0", "mimeType": "text/plain", "filename": "", "headers": [ { "name": "Content-Type", "value": "text/plain; charset=UTF-8" }, { "name": "Content-Transfer-Encoding", "value": "7bit" } ], "body": { "size": 925,

    An important note about the problem of exported apps doesn’t work without Tasker

    Wael Talaat · 1 · Last reply by Wael Talaat

    The important note: Some exported apps works successfully without Tasker if the screen of the phone is on (surely if it can work when screen is on in Tasker before exporting).

    Explanation1: Recently I have created a project. The aim of it is to open the flashlight without need to unlock the phone. Just by gestures. The project works successfully in Tasker. But after I'd exported it as an app and disabling Tasker. The app doesn't work.
