    Profile Debounce as an option

    Philip Schaffer · 4 · Last reply by Scharkieh

    I would like to see an option under "Profile Properties" to add a debounce time out similar to the "Cooldown Time" option.  The Debounce time would prevent a profile from changing state for a fixed period of time after the profile asserts or de-asserts.

    For example, let's say we have a profile with a WiFi Connected context and a debounce timer set to 10 seconds.  Assume the profile has been inactive for more than 10 seconds and then becomes active.  The pofile's enter task should start as soon as the profile becomes active.  Now assume that the profile becomes inactive

    get all active profiles with %PACTIVE and %PENABLED

    Cesar Bernard · 2 · Last reply by Rich D

    The variables %PACTIVE and %PENABLED do not contain Profile names that have been assigned by Tasker, regardless of if they are active or enabled. Those variables will only contain the names of user-named Profiles. Also the expected function of %PACTIVE and %PENABLED is to get all Profiles that are enabled or active. 

    Also some of the names that Tasker uses for auto-naming look like they were named by a user, which can cause problems later on, if an user thinks the profile was named by him.

    Exempt some tasks/profiles from logging

    Miles Cheang · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    Would like some tasks/profiles to be exempt from logging.  My Android SoC has a bunch of small home automation tasks to process every couple minutes, and as you can imagine, my log gets flooded pretty quick. Thanks much.

    Add Scene State as Context

    Stefan · 0 · Posted

    It would be helpful to be able to add a Scene State as a condition in the profile.

    Example:

    I have a ScreenFilter Overlay Scene that reduces brightness over night. Also I have a Profile that will destroy that Overlay Scene if ambient light is bright enough. However, as it's not possible in the profile to check if the scene's still visible the profile becomes active frequently running the enter task which checks for the scene each time just to stop the task again if the scene has already been destroyed.

    Revamped flowchart-based UI

    FartingFairies · 1 · Last reply by Matt Burns

    A new flowchart-based UI (along the lines of competing automation apps) for developing tasks would make it much easier to use the app and would make it much more accessible to a lot of people, as well as a lot less frustrating experience to get even simple things done. This would have the advantage of getting new users who always wanted to use Tasker but did not dedicate the time learning to do so.

    Update "browse files" so it doesn't requires an old outdated application

    DeStilleGast · 0 · Posted

    Currently the function requires an old application that is not found anymore in the play store. While the targeted api is now much higher and android now has a built-in function to select files and/or selecting directories. It needs to get updated.

    Sorry for poor description, my English isn't the best

    Automate backup of Tasker AutoApps data by Tasker

    Soumya Ranjan Mahunt · 0 · Posted

    AutoApps data like commands, text processors and custom intents for AutoShare, AutoNotification blocked notification, AutoWeb apis, custom webscreen for AutoTools and settings for all the apps require manual involvement, making it automated with Tasker would be helpful.

    New variable: Charging_State

    Usm · 1 · Last reply by Usm

    Today I wanted to write a task where I could check if the phone is charging or not and then do something based on that state e.g.:

         IF screen=off AND charging_state = non, THEN wiki-off

    When I take my tablet with me during travel, for some reason it starts to drain the battery when the screen is off and the wifi is on.

     I'm proposing a new variable: charging_state. It would have these values ac, usb, none, wireless

    These values can be taken from the built-in Power state.

    Creating multiple profiles to make up our own variable is

    I do not know why Tasker a useful app need a plugin to perform a shortcut because they did not add this action yet, this would solve so many problems.

    Add more features on Taskernet

    Ooker . · 1 · Last reply by Flenser

    I have some questions on Taskernet:

    • Why is the HTML description only displayed in a box?
    • Why not build it to be a place to discover new projects, where people can vote and comment?
    • Why can't scenes be exported?

    Take a look at the similar sharing site for Anki software. It has search function, categories, rating. If you take a look at a particular project (mine for example), you will see that it has votes, comments, description of the author (with no box), and raw data of the project.

    Recursive option in file modified event

    Lapo Falcone · 1 · Last reply by Moneta Mace

    It would be useful to have a recursive option in file modified event. This option would be used to guard not only the modification of a file in the specified folder, but also in the subfolder a of the folder and so on.

    Separate settings for UI and help language

    bege · 0 · Posted

    The German help texts often don't contain all the information the English texts provide, and I guess it will never be possible to keep the translations fully updated. Therefore I'd like to have a German UI and English help texts. Would you, please, provide separate settings for UI and help language?

    Add Timeout to "Ping" action

    Jackal Zhao · 0 · Posted

    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.

    "Choose a file" action

    Jackal Zhao · 1 · Last reply by Anuraag Agrawal

    "Choose a file" action, allowing users to actively choose a file and then let the task process the file. It may requires the system file chooser and wait till it return a file path and then store the path into a variable.

    It would be nice to acquire ADB privilege from Shizuku rather than having it separately.
