    WiFi Near: Ignore MAC Addresses

    Christian WS · 0 · Posted

    Cell Near have the option to ignore certain towers, I don't see why WiFi Near can't have the same option for Mac Addresses(or even for SSIDs, but Mac is more useful to me)

    Arrayed native vars

    iamwoodruff · 0 · Posted

    I'd like to suggest arrayed native/global vars. A user started a forum thread about date/time particulars. It seems to me that a hidden array is the perfectsolution, not just here but elsewhere. Example: DATE returns m-d-yy. Why couldn't DATE(1:4) return numbered year, month, day-of-month, and day-of-week? Same goes for TIME (i.e. hr, min, sec) but perhaps also encompassing TIMES and TIMEMS. Similarly, why not WIFI for the state, WIFI(1) for connection data, and WIFI(2) for scan data. DAYM, DAYW, TIMES, TIMEMS, and WIFII shouldn be delisted rather than deleted so that existing tasks will continue to function  I think this

    Toggle Quick Settings

    Henry · 0 · Posted

    There are 3 options in setting quick settings action:

    Active

    Inactive

    Disabled

    Please add an option named "Toggle" so that there wouldn't be a need to define a wrapping variable to toggle a quick setting. It could be toggled when the option is set and the value of it being turned on or off could be accessible through an output variable. 

    This makes tasker a bit easier for newbies.

    Text Size and Word Wrap of Shell Action

    agnostic-apollo · 2 · Last reply by agnostic-apollo

    There should be an option to change the text size of shell actions and also an option to disable word wrap. Writing multi-line scripts in shell actions is a mess with word wrap enabled and really hard to understand what is going on.

    Variable for the Enable Root Toggle of Run Shell Actions and Custom Settings

    agnostic-apollo · 1 · Last reply by Richard Kemp

    There should be a variable that can be set in place of the root toggle so that commands that are created and run dynamically can automatically set if root will be required or not. Moreover if projects are being shared with other people, some people might not need or want to run shell commands as root. This would make it easier to create those projects with like a global variable maybe. If the value is "1", then run with root, otherwise don't run with root.

    Variable-defined app state context

    Richard Kemp · 0 · Posted

    Traditional app state contexts work but are static: the only way to change the apps included is by opening Tasker's UI. The App changed event allows specification of included apps using a variable, but this is only an event, not a state.

    I would like a combination of the two: an app STATE context which activates only when the app name/package/whatever matches a text field where a variable may be used.

    Enlarge project bar

    Adam Lopresto · 0 · Posted

    Would it be possible to make the project bar along the bottom of the main Tasker interface larger (specifically, taller)? I'm finding that with full gesture navigation with the betas for Android Q, swiping sideways along the bottom of the screen switches between recent apps, and scrolling the project bar is really difficult (there are maybe a few pixels at the top of it that I can grab, but it's really tricky). Maybe there's another way to do it that I'm not aware of.

    Option for cooldown time to trigger last skipped event after cooldown time is over

    Stefan · 0 · Posted

    An option for cooldown time to trigger the last skipped event (skipped during the cooldown time) after the cooldown time is over would be useful.

    E.g. there are many changes of %LIGHT when moving. In a profile reacting on changes to %LIGHT and adding a cooldown time of ten seconds Tasker will probably not trigger the entering of a completely dark area where %LIGHT will not change anymore because it's constantly 0. The above change would allow to use a cooldown time AND to detect the % LIGHT changing to 0.

    get Tasker version and device information

    schlimbo · 0 · Posted

    Can you please add global variables for:

    - Installed Tasker version

    - Device Firmware version

    -Date of security patch 

    This information would be very helpful for self created logfiles in Tasker projects.

    License of https://tasker.joaoapps.com/code/TaskerPlugin.java

    c5532327 · 0 · Posted

    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!

    More Variable Convert functions

    Stefan · 0 · Posted

    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.

    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."

    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?

    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.

    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,
