I use Androids screensaver in combination with the Chronus screensaver plugin to display the time and local weather while my phone is wirelessly charging on a cradle.

It would be great if a Tasker plugin could be implemented that can show any stored variable on Androids screensaver. You could then have almost limitless options to show any information while Android displays its screensaver.

If this is feasible, it would also be beneficial to customize the font type, color, size and position.

Just a suggestion.

Since we can now get RSSI values from the Bluetooth Info Acrion, why not allow it as a filler in the Bluetooth Near State?

This will enable use of any BT device to help geolocate the tasker device (or user) based on strength of RSSI.. Many interesting use cases:

- unlock pc when near pc

- start Spotify when near BT speaker

- cast to the right tv when in a new room

Bluetooth is getting so powerful that BT near is no longer near, so we need more granular customization!

I'm planing a useful task, but there is a crutial step, which is getting the current finger location on the screen, and see if the finger is touching on a specific area, then perform different actions. 

I've searched many methods, but neither Tasker Actions nor Plugins can offer the touched location. I know that using Java Function (android.view.accessibility) might be able to do it, but it's a pity I'm not knowlegeable about java function.

So here I wish Joao Dias could add Tasker an action of getting touched location. This action would bring greatly convinience for some scenes.

Hello guys...

Requesting a timer event and state, gonna explain how it works below;

Time event;

For example we can create a profile consists of a timer event and a proximity sensor state, so if proximity is true for less than 3 sec perform A and if it's more than 5 secs perform action B.

Timer state;

Add a timer state and add it up with a display off state and a turn on event so if the screen was off between 30 to 60 seconds and turned on in this period it will trigger a specific action...

Or eg.

In webview you can make make request or open a websocket, but sometimes you need a trust any certificate...i thing something like x509.

Similar to the say action where you can pass the voice as parameter all date related actions including Variable Convert should support a locale parameter. The locale should be either system default when omitted or en, fra, pt, de, etc. For variables like %DATE I suggest to offer  virtual array with the locale as the index, e.g. %DATE(en)

Ping action can get a delay to a website, so we can use that to test if the network (like a wifi you connected) is connected to the Internet, but when the network is not connected to the Internet, the Ping action won't stop for quit a few seconds.

So here is the suggestion, add timeout to this action, if the ping time has last for more than the timeout we have set (say 500ms), then continue the task.

Can we please have this as a Tasker function? I guess it's a very common functionality needed by many ambitious projects and if anybody has already the function in his Tasker configuration new imports of projects containing this task as well will fail.

We have in Variable Convert the following:

- Date Time to Seconds: date can be in YYYYMMDD format or xx-yy-zz, in which case the positions of day, month and year are determined by Android preferences. So to code locale-independent you always have to use the first format YYYYMMDD hh.mm

- Seconds to Date Time: returns the localized format

But we don't have a native Tasker function to get from seconds the first format. So we would need a 'Seconds to Date Time (YYYYMMDD hh.mm)'

Furthermore a 'Seconds to day nr of week' would be useful.

This idea has been posted here before but this explains it perhaps most shortly.

Currently in action Notify Cancel has tio be used ony exact title of notification.

It would be great to add Regex support, to cancel all notifications which titles match to the specified regex.

Implement path of music.

add an option "Motion Dedetion (on/off)" to Action "Set Tasker Pref".

I badly need this to toggle it when I activate tasks working with BT Near Context.

It would also be great to increase the size for the "runlog" (which is about 250kB right now) which also just last about 3h in my case. (My tasker backup.xml has about 10500 lines of code ... so I asume me beeing a heavy user ;-). In my opinion it should be around 1MB.

Put OS requirements on each task/profile so when OS is upgraded, users can see what new features they have access to

João said the following the Tasker Google forum:

• Unfortunately when the previous developers created scenes he made it so that they couldn't show up in recents for some reason I don't know yet. I would have to figure out why that is and potentially restructure the whole scene system so that it works properly.

I have one idea of implementing this:

1) Store last scene shown.

2) Show that scene via the kid app's Persistent Notification.

3) If possible, do return to the app or that last scene via the App Recents list. This is the most stock the experience

As a user I would like to have the ability to communicate to other servers with ncat (by nmap.org) or telnet natively (w/o calling shell)

Should have host,port and command as open fields

also checkbox "keep session open" to know whether to close the connection after done succesfully

This is a suggestion to apply in a future release. If possible.

The topic is about the background image that appears in the scene editor. This image seems to be the one we could have as the default wallpaper for our device (Launcher).

Well, unless we temporarily set the background of that scene to a solid color (black, for example), working with elements can be a bit confusing/annoying. Especially if we have "psychedelic", or any type of non solid wallpapers.

I have attached two pics as an example: 1º: Current wallpaper I have set for my device.

2º: Temporal black

Gradle dependencies make it easier to receive updates and keep the repository clean.

Can you distribute https://tasker.joaoapps.com/code/TaskerPlugin.java as dependency?

This should be easy with https://jitpack.io/

Hey,

I'd like to include the Tasker protocol extension in an app under Eclipse Public License 2.0.

Since the https://tasker.joaoapps.com/code/TaskerPlugin.java file has no license information included, I doubt it would be legal to modify and re-distribute it.

Can you add a license (maybe put this file under some free software license) to this file?

Thanks!
