    Using variable in Time Event Context for the Every Time Repeat

    Steffen · 3 · Last reply by Mosaad Gaber

    Hello TASKER community and DEV,

    we fill in Time Event from a Szene for Custom Profiles for Start and End of Actions.

    Now it would not be bad, if we can fill the Every Time Context also from a variable, the repetition rhythm fix of hour or also as variable.

    attached a screen design - Would be an idea.

    PROFILES>>>Application。 Use package or application name global variable

    PROFILES>>>Application。 When the application is used as a trigger condition, the application selection hopes to support package name / application name filling like autoinput, support variable filling, and adds a search function to facilitate selection.

    Triggering with faces of people

    Moor@ · 2 · Last reply by Moor@

    Hi,

    I would like to trigger some tasks using Face ID if possible.

    It may be a wonderful idea to manage smart home applications according to the faces of the people living home. For example, it says their names after checking their face IDs. Or it waits to say the personal notes from another user until it sees the target person 's face.

    Thank you very much in advance,

    Allow Task icons to be set via a variable for dynamic change

    theOG123 · 0 · Posted

    Hi, I've been trying to see if this is possible but just can't see it. Say I wanted to get information from App Info and use the %app_icon() in a custom navbar, currently I can only choose Task icons from icons in a list.

    If I wanted this to be dynamic and based on say, the last app I used, it would help to allow that to be a variable.

    Fix %BATT (Battery Level) variable "not valid" in Variable Value State context

    virtual · 1 · Last reply by badbob001

    Please fix this long standing "bug" (actually not implemented code), already described on the original thread here:

    https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tasker/8Nke4GLfa1I

    Basically either the ability to put %BATT variable in Profile > State > Variables > Variable Value (not allowed at the moment) or to set the battery ranges by variable in Profile > State > Power > Battery Level.

    Add an action for an extra-long Power Button

    Rebeccah · 2 · Last reply by Bob Thomson

    Tasker has actions for pressing physical buttons and for Long-pressing the Power button , and apparently (but not on my phone with Tasker 5.7.2)) double-tapping the power button and long-pressing the volume control buttons.  What about extra-long pressing the Power button?  On my phone (Droid Turbo 2, Android 7.0), tapping the power button blackens the screen/locks the phone, long-pressing the power button brings up the Power Off screen with only one option, and if you press the power button even longer, the Power Off screen disappears and the phone reboots.  Can this be done without rooting the phone?

    auto save task when back button is pressed

    Frank G · 1 · Last reply by Garreth Tinsley

    I think it's happen to all of us : we are trying to make a new task and someone call us on phone, or we receive important message => after, bad habits maybe, we close all the programs running in background...and we close tasker and we lost all our work !! :'(

    The feature to auto save the task without clicking on the check mark on the top right side will be great

    what do you think ?

    API OpenStreetMap

    TaskerClub · 0 · Posted

    I offer full integration of the OpenStreetMap API in Tasker, since the capabilities of Google Maps are limited. I propose to extract all possible information from the API into variables, such as street names, house numbers, POI names, etc. What do you think of this?

    Make an option for Import Data to permanently restore Tasker configuration

    Abi · 0 · Posted

    This would be especially useful for devices running Tasker which are mainly just automation devices hidden away -- the device automatically backs up its Tasker data which you can edit on your phone by importing the XML, but then you push the XML back to the automation device and it automatically restores it in the same way it would if going into Data -> Restore -> User Local Backup (without the need for AutoInput or anything).

    Something like having the context be "File Restore.xml modified," "Read file," "Import Data."

    In-line comments/notes in tasks, projects

    Derrick C · 2 · Last reply by slarti76

    I create somewhat complicated tasks that I like to add a lot of comments to. Right now I do this is the "Label" field of each a action. I sometimes use the anchor action at the top of the task and type in a large paragraph into the label field. Not sure if large text in the label fields can cause problems or excessive memory usage at runtime.

    A simple dummy "comment" action would be a lot cleaner looking and could ignored at runtime.

    More information about which Tasker action is running

    Ravi Warrier · 0 · Posted

    In the notification while a Tasker action is running, there's no more information about which action/task is being executed. 

    In the attachment, you'll see what I mean. This notification has been on the shade since last 9 minutes and I don't know what's happening. Perhaps, the notification can include more details (name or number for anonymous tasks). If multiple tasks are running, then the notification could show a list.

    Invert and Minimal option for Significant Motion event

    Ravi Warrier · 2 · Last reply by Ravi Warrier

    Currently the Significant Motion event works fine, but the problem is that there is no way to trigger anything when such motion has stopped or reduced.

    There could two sub-options for the event:

    1. Minimal - reduced thresholds (to trigger slight movements)

    2. Inverted - No motion is detected (whether significant or minimal)

    Event context for orientation change

    Ravi Warrier · 0 · Posted

    We have orientation based states, but nothing to allow us to trigger actions based on change in orientation without concerning about what orientation the phone was and currently in.

    This will allow us to react faster to phone being picked up, being flipped, is held, etc.

    Tasker plugin to show variables in Androids screensaver feature.

    Charles Deens · 0 · Posted

    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.

    Bluetooth Near State to have RSSI filter

    Wern-Yuen Tan · 0 · Posted

    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!
