    Allow an empty string in Variable Set action

    virtual · 0 · Posted

    Please allow to set a variable to an empty string, even with a warning if required.

    There are several cases when this is useful, for example when combining multiple variables when you want one of them to concat without any value. Or when formatting with JSON a string like:

    and you want the var to be a string which could be empty. Yes, you can apply the quotes inside the var, but it is not as intuitive; or you can use Variable Convert with a null URL code, but this requires 2 actions.

    Having the possibility to set the value to

    Hi

    Can you add an action say "Get Wireless Debugging Port"? This action will do following.

    1) Enable Wireless Debugging using custom setting if not enabled

    2) Use NsdManager to get Wireless Debugging Port which can be used for enabling Wireless Debugging.

    Be able to show picture as not tinted for Progress Dialog

    SmartPhoneLover · 1 · Last reply by Abhishek M

    Currently, the Progress Dialog action, when configured to show an animation, it applies a tint to the configured picture, as shown below:

    I would like to be able to choose not to tint the picture(s), and instead show them with their original color scheme, as shown below:

    By this way, we can use our own set of icons to create a much more customized animation for the loader image.

    It's possible to implement on Autosheets plugin the possibility to "Add/Get/Update Image" on the cells? 😇🙏

    Task Running Timeout

    Kyle Tameirao · 1 · Last reply by Rich D

    An option under Task properties to enable a timeout after x time so that tasks that get stuck due to actions without timeouts or whatever the reason. This will essentially end the task regardless of its status so other tasks that are Q'd up can proceed without incident. 

    When third party plugins are involved, and even some native Tasker actions, often times errors will result in tasks never completing and end up stuck in an indefinite run state even when "Continue Task After Error" is selected. If the action doesn't throw an error, then it'll just keep trying to execute

    "Favorite Action" Toolbar to Quick-Add an Action

    Tasker Pro · 0 · Posted

    There should be a swipe-in icon toolbar (from the right side for example) or some other configuration where a user can choose often used actions, and assign them an icon, and then click to instantly add the action and go to its configuration screen.

    So rather than going into the Action list and having to click the categories, or even have to start typing the Action's name in the "Filter" field - this can quickly pop in whatever actions the user sets in the menu.

    Even something like "Variable Set". Click the Variables category all the actions look so similar

    Event that fires wifi is turned off

    Peter Andersson · 3 · Last reply by Scott Almond

    Event that fires wifi is turned off.

    When I'm just out of range on wifi so that no data can be transmitted but the phone still thinks im connected, I often turn the wifi off but then I forget to turn it back on. 

    With this I could create a task that would detect the turn off then wait 30 minutes and turn it back on again.

    Hi

    i want to know if you are able to add some ir remote plugin. right now the only app supported by tasker is anymote (it doesnt work unfortunately)

    A send email action could help a lot with integration with other apps and services.

    Christopher Peralta · 0 · Posted

    One use for this would be to parse text messages or notifications for dates and times, then email the message body to a task manager app (Todoist or TickTick) so they'll automatically be added to your schedule. 

    With this you could use Tasker to get total integration between a task manager app, email, calendar app, and your phone.

    I know there are some plug-ins for this, but I think it would be a very useful feature for Tasker to have natively.

    Runlog - better identification

    P C · 0 · Posted

    I think the information in the Runlog needs a bit of an overhaul.

    Specifically, I find the ID column confusing.  Maybe I'm just not reading it correctly, but you either have to be absolutely in-tune with the task, which most of us are unless the task is incredibly complex (I have a whole bunch like that), or you have to recognize what the message is trying to tell you.

    What I'd like to see is the ID reflect the number of concurrent tasks with that name, and then the step number it's executing.  Format like this:

    Master Task Instance # :

    Root based WiFi scanning

    Ian Grody · 0 · Posted

    With Android P further making restrictions to WiFi scanning and it being pitiful at best in N+ (thanks, Google), is there any chances of a root based workaround using "iw" command on the shell? This not only will allow us to perform wifi scans whenever, but will also yield far more data (WPA/WPS/HT/etc).

    Ability for inverted geofences

    Wolfgang Voigt · 2 · Last reply by Wolfgang Voigt

    I'm using tasker for years now and I'm very happy with it. But one thing Is missing I could never fix whatever I did:

    There is no option to define a Profile-Rule like "When I'm outside of that area". I know the following workaround: Define a geofence and only add an outgoing task.

    But that method brings some problems.

    1. It's not combineable with other conditions:

    I always add another condition on top of the ruleset, to make sure that the geofence is only checked when other variables have the expected value. This is important because they will be checked
