    Autowear switch pairing to other devices

    Productivity · 0 · Posted

    Hi Joao,

    Regarding the last update enhancing device interoperability, sending commands, autoshare... its a good opportunity for tasker little brother, autowear.

    One of the main painpoints of wearos devices is the lack of simultaneous connectivity by bluetooth (the lowest energy consuming connectivity channel). Therefore it reduces its own capability to use the smartwatch as an standalone remote controller for everything (headphones, phones, computers, smartglasses (hot topic right now)

    Some functionalities could be:

    - Toggle pairing to previous device.

    - Set favourite pairing devices.

    Regards

    Listener for new modes presets

    Andrzej · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi, The latest Android update introduced Modes. They allow us to predefine Do Not Disturb settings.

    Unfortunately, they have limited capabilities at the moment, and it would be great to enhance them with Tasker by adding an action that executes upon activating such a mode.

    Tasker could detect whether a mode has been activated and which one (preferably by name). Then, we could use a profile to listen for its activation and, for example, use a Tasker action to turn on vibration.

    Please include decimal number in "Task" variables "Variable add > Value" I suggest four zero after points = 0.0001, hence can use it

    Nowadays, there are two complications of each type for AutoWear. More and more watchface accept more than 4 complications at the same time.

    Can you add more than two of each type ?

    Enhanced JSON Reading to better handle arrays

    alg · 0 · Posted

    Idea: Make JSONPath syntax available in tasker.

    Currently JSON query syntax in tasker does not support the JSONPath standard (currently in proposed status) as described in https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9535.html and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JSONPath

    In particular arrays are awkward to deal with, especially for more complicated structures (arrays in objects in arrays... etc.)

    It's possible to work around this at the expense of additional tasker actions, or by using Javascript(Let) but it would be preferable if the standard was provided for.

    Some examples which don't work well are: %my_var(N)            Nth element of unnamed array. Have to use the rather ugly

    Add an option to treat optional parameters with variables as inputs as if they had been left blank

    RccaJack · 0 · Posted

    I'd like to be able to have an optional parameter filled with a variable name and still be able to use it as if it had not been filled at all. For example, the "Default" field of the "Variable Query" action. When left blank, the dialog has nothing filled in, but if I put a variable there, regardless of what the variable contains, the dialog will always have something filled in. The best I can do is have the variable set to just a space, but then it's highlighted and if the user taps the edit field before typing the

    Add filter to VAR tab for view project/task vars the same way as global vars.

    Victor Rudakov · 0 · Posted

    That is, as a simple list with values ​​(in addition to viewing in the project/task properties). This is a more convenient and compact way to view all project/task variables (especially for structured variables with JSON text). The filter can be a single choice from a list of all projects and tasks, for example. PS: It would be useful if the user could select (in the UI options) which filters (indexed, empty,...) should be added to the VAR tab.

    Display the project name at the top of screen

    einstein6 · 0 · Posted

    At 1 point we will bound to have too many projects. I like to assign icon to my project because it is more visual, and I don't like to clutter long texts at the project name.

    However, it will be useful if we still could see the name somewhere on the screen.

    Currently when we are viewing profiles/tasks/scenes/vars in any screen, we will see the word Tasker on the top left. Can this text be replaced with the project name instead?

    If the task name is long, we could trim and append "..."

    Add conditions like clipboard changed for every event that generates variables

    aasswwddd · 0 · Posted

    It would be nice to have what Clipboard Changed Event has in other event context as well. For example, Intent Received and Command event. Both generates variables but doesn't have conditions like Clipboard Changed Event.

    Context based Scene Object Selection like "thisScene"

    AdiraiMaji · 0 · Posted

    It would be highly beneficial to have an option to specify "thisScene" in tasks that modify scene elements or handle item clicks. Currently, when cloning a scene containing such tasks, the reference in the task list remains linked to the original scene. This means changes made through item clicks in the cloned scene still affect the original. Adding a "thisScene" option would ensure that tasks in a cloned scene operate independently, controlling only the cloned copy without impacting the original scene. This enhancement would greatly improve flexibility and usability when working with cloned scenes.

    Auto Save Tasks

    Ansh · 0 · Posted

    I recently started using tasker and now I am sort off addicted to it. One feature which I would and many others would love is an auto save feature which autosaves the tasks whenever a change occurs. Sometimes I quit unknowingly and lose all of my progress. Thank You

    Auto update GOTO actions on Label change

    Tortuosit of Tapiola · 0 · Posted

    When we rename tasks or profiles, the actions which call them are updated automatically.

    But if we change a label text, there may have been a GOTO action referencing it. This won't be updated, and then the GOTO is broken because it points to nowhere.

    Disable "Calls" when specific Bluetooth device is connected

    Brian Auerbach · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    When connecting in my car, I have two Bluetooth devices (the car and an Android head unit).  The car connection needs to be used for calls, but the phone always defaults to the incorrect device when answering a call.

    When I get in the car and the devices connect, I can resolve this by going into the Bluetooth settings for the head unit and deselecting "Calls", but that setting does not persist the next time I get in the car.

    I'd like Tasker to be able to change that setting upon connection to the specified device.

    Notification action option to dismiss notification

    Mark · 0 · Posted

    The default behaviour of notification actions (the buttons on a notification) for most apps is that they do something as well as dismiss that notification.

    In tasker you can only assign a single action to a notification action button. For more complex actions you have to point to a task.

     

    It would be great if a checkmark can be added to the notification action to also dismiss the notification when it's clicked. That would make this behavior a lot easier to program in tasker.

    webdav support

    Jack · 0 · Posted

    Would be highly useful if webdav support is possible. The reason for asking is that a lot of people are wanting to degoogle, but some services and apps such as tasker only support Google Drive. Adding WebDAV support to be able to back up tasker settings and config would ensure less reliance on google. There was a post on this 5 years ago here

    Variable / array local or global dependent on special character in its name and tasker config setting

    Professor Knox · 0 · Posted

    When creating a task, it's likely to have a certain number of global variables / arrays global to be able to check their content for debuggung.

    When having task development finished, certain global variables / arrays should be local because they are much more run-time efficient than being global.

    It's a certain work to change global variables / arrays to local and also a certain risk to miss a variable / array somewhere in an action, and task doesn't work no longer as expected.

    My proposal: Would it be possibe that variables / arrays with an e.g. leading or trailing
