    Is there any way to use taskers own color selector subroutine (as when choosing font color in a scene) as a stand alone action fur users to use as a color picker?

    Improve debugging by running single action at a time

    Mat L · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    Currently we have the ability to manually run entire tasks. I use this to debug the task itself, before moving on to debugging the profile context, by adding strategic Flashes and Stops.

    I think adding a full blown Debug mode like an IDE might be asking for too much, since Tasker is not an IDE, which means we still may continue to have to rely on Flashes to check variable contents. But if the Task is really long and we specifically want to Debug a specific part, it's super annoying having to run the entire Task many times while moving

    There can be 'AND' and 'OR' operands while defining a function

    Melih · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I want to execute function X on given situation:

    A AND (B OR C OR D)

    But app lets only this:

    A AND B

    A AND C

    A AND D

    I have to define them one by one individually, OR statement would be so nice.

    Autocast audio message to group of google homes

    Patrick Wickline · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a raspberry pi zero with two vibration sensors to send me pushbullet notifications when my laundry is done. I want to use tasker Autonotification to read those notifications then broadcast by Autocast through my google homes the same message for when I don't have my phone on me. 

    This is just one use case, i have other ideas that I'd like to Autocast audio messages to a group of google homes. 

    Similar to the "Broadcast" feature natively built into the google home devices.

    Project Folder List Menu

    Tasker Pro · 3 · Last reply by agnostic-apollo

    At this point with so many folks using Tasker for so long - a lot of people have A LOT of Project Folders/Tabs.

    It is very difficult to keep scrolling left/right to jump from one Project to another very easily.

    A new feature should be added so that when the user long-click on any Project Tab, the first Action (lowest on list below "Set Icon") should be a menu option for "Show Project List".

    This would then display a simple vertical list menu of all Projects and one can easily be chosen. There can also be an option for "Sort

    Integration with google assistant: execute tasks from google assistant

    Stany Freres · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    "Hey google, start task xyz with Tasker"

    Could this be doable with Google assistant ? See https://codelabs.developers.google.com/codelabs/appactions

    Maybe it's already possible ?

    This could be really useful when using Android Auto: start a specific task with a voice command, especially since AutoVoice has been blocked by Google (I'm not sure if it is working again for all languages) and since IFTTT is not free anymore...

    Simplify context in only state and event category

    RmatriX1218 · 1 · Last reply by RmatriX1218

    Hi,

    At present we have Application, Day, Event, Location, Time, State context. And that's way old thing when tasker was built.

    But App, Time, Location, Day can be classified either in State or Event context and no strong logic they should have separate category.

    Should we simplify context to only state and event category?

    Tasker Services Pause aka "Sleep Mode"

    Most of us have Tasker handling several Profiles such as Car, Home, Work and Sleep. In my personal setep, the Sleep profile disables many things in the phone to save battery in case it is not plugged in.

    Would be great to have a "Pause Tasker Services" action that would disable Tasker services/wakelocks... Choosing which type of monitoring will be disabled or just keeping a time based one (Time Event/State). During this time, all Profiles that depend on the monitors, will stay in the same state (Active/Inactive) during the whole period and will not change until the monitors are activated

    Custom toast messages.

    note666 · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hey Joao, So I never like the toast messages on android. Don't like the gray background and the font. So I thought maybe you can add something that kill system toast messages, and replace theme with custom toast messages. I tried to do it with scene that will trigger with logcat, and will cover the android toast messages. The problem is that the toast appear on top of the scene messages I made. What do you think? Thanks again for the help.

    Make 'First Visible Index' hideable from List Dialog action

    I don't know the rest of the users, but I find a bit annoying (just apperance) the '<' icon at the right when using the List Dialog action. -> https://i.imgur.com/IdMcUa1.jpg   I know that the following "workarounds" can be applied currently to get rid of it: - Switch to variable mode (press arrows icon) and leave the text field just as: %. - Switch to variable mode (press arrows icon) and leave the text field just as: 0. - Add 1 to the current %array(#) as: %num To %arrar(#) + 1, specially useful when there are more than 100 elements

    Adjust ringer volume > 0 WITHOUT SOUND!

    Dtgames · 5 · Last reply by Dtgames

    Using Tasker to adjust ringer volume to anything > 0 automatically plays a sound.  Checking 'sound' in the task plays an additional sound.

    I use Tasker for automatic sound profile switching based on several factors including orientation, day of week and time of day.  Every time a task sets the ringer volume to anything other than 0 I get this 'beep' and it is incredibly annoying when it happens 3-5 times a minute when orientation changes enough to trigger the task

    When creating a Set Alarm task, include settings for Google Assistant Routine

    Brenden MacDonald · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    On my Pixel 3, in my Clock app, alarms have a section for Google Assistant Routine, which is a set of options for alarms, where after the alarm is dismissed, the Assistant tells the user about reminders, weather, commute, regional news. It helps me wake up.

    Tasker "Set Alarm" action will successfully turn on a previously dismissed alarm with a Routine already in place, but there is no interface for specifying the Routine in Tasker. So, if a task involves creating a new alarm, I cannot create it with an Assistant Routine.

    So there are two related features to request:

    Name anonymous tasks from task edit screen

    Rich D · 4 · Last reply by Jeremy

    When using the run log a long press on a anonymous task will bring you to the task edit page However the is no way to be able to find linked profiles or locate this task except with the run log. Having the ability to name the task from within the task edit screen would solve this.

    In addition, when editing a task from a scene element the only current way to name that task is to copy all actions and paste them into a new named task. This would make naming a scene element anonymous task much easier as
