    Timer event and state

    shahide gomnam · 0 · Posted

    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.

    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)

    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.

    Linux based Tasker IDE

    Leo Bergamo Public · 0 · Posted

    Would be great to be able to write code for task on Linux using simple text editors like Geany or the like.  Sometimes it can be somewhat hindering to use the phone only especially if the phone is small.

    OBD2

    Allow Tasker to read OBD status or events. So, Tasker can read the conditions of your vehicle, respond to them or even control your vehicle.

    activate fingerprint scanner w/o screen blackout

    Logan · 1 · Last reply by Fabian Jiron

    I just noted that my Bank app with fingerprint identification feature, does not need to turn off the display to activate the fingerprint sensor, it merely prompts to place finger on sensor, and the sensor is active and awaiting a print to ID.

    On the new fingerprint Tasks and Profiles that Logcat feature has opened up, Id love to see an option to activate fingerprint sensor without the need to black out the display :)

    Store exported items in projects in relevant folders

    Ian Grody · 0 · Posted

    When exporting items from a Project, could they please be placed into relevant sub folders please? This would make it easier finding items when exporting lots from different projects. Maybe as a toggle in case others don't want this?

    Thank you!

    Task: "While/End While" instructions

    Simaus Masaqer · 1 · Last reply by Max Hendrik Backs

    I know that Mateo asked for some sort of loops like "while", but he was answered with "For" loop which in programming works differently.

    Also, I am asking for true "While" loop. To give better view of this concept I am going to share my case: I'd like to hear who calls on the phone. So, AutoNotification comes here and the Tasker, of course. I make three profiles: one with Event->Phone->Phone Ringing, another one with Event->Phone->Missed Call and the last one with Plugin->AutoNotification. The first two just switch value of one shared variable %phoneRings from false, when phone does not

    3rd Party App Link

    Mitch M · 0 · Posted

    Hello, 

    When trying to use a 3rd party app in profiles or tasks that we don't have installed, it would be nice if when we click on it (red list item, because we don't have it on our device), if there was a popup with a link to the app on the play store that asked us if we wanted to go there to download it. 

    Thanks!

    Tasker Scene Element

    Rizal Sunjaya · 0 · Posted

    Would be nice if: 1. Checklist is properly resize able, not only the outer border. 2. Toggle ui only consist of Font and without the underline when on, and no need to have background as we can always add separate background just like Text element. Thanks ...

    File monitoring for root files

    roizcorp · 1 · Last reply by Ian Macdonald

    5.9.3.beta4 introduces the ability to trigger tasks upon file events, however though this is limited to files in the /storage partition (where tasker gets permission for). For rooted phones, I would like to be able to monitor any file (specifically in /data partition)

    Auto complete in global variable

    Dario Dias · 0 · Posted

    Selection of global variable set by tasker and the user from the search list is bit difficult when one has many variables set by the user. A drop down list or auto complete based on the starting alphabets would be of great help as the list would be small and easy to select.

    Project app drawer

    Sam Ingersoll · 0 · Posted

    Crazy idea in regards to the projects. What if you made it like a "dock" and "app drawer". Bare with me. So instead of scrolling right and left for projects you have a few (for me it's 6 before I have to scroll) projects always visible and if you swipe up on them like you would on a dock in a launcher it would open up an "app drawer" grid of projects.

    Restore backup.xml file in a task to load different configurations remotely

    Ivan · 1 · Last reply by pearhuman

    I think is a good idea the possibility to import/restore a backup.xml file to Tasker to load different configurations of Tasker. For example i send an sms with "load config 1" and tasker load the backup_config_1.xml saved in /sdcard/Download/.

    is a very useful feature, because i have an android in another place, and i can configure and customize remotely.

    Separate Logcat Action to eliminate run away processes

    Ian Grody · 0 · Posted

    We can run Logcat via Code > Shell when permission is granted. However, it is easy to error the logcat command where the process will run away. e.g. typo "logcat notification" (a simple error) and Tasker will run logcat forever. We can pkill, but this can become an issue if Task limit is hit, Kill All wont kill the run away PID. Could there be a Logcat Action dedicated for this command please? That  way if a Kill All is done, it'll kill the logcat process too.

    Thank you.

    Add shortcut /widget from app created by App Factory

    Dario Dias · 0 · Posted

    I wanted to export some of my profiles and task as an app but I can select only one task as the launch app. I decided to have the launch task to launch a scene that helps me select which profile I need to set it on but also need homescreen shortcut of one task that when clicked, locks the screen (system lock). If app factory could embed widgets or shortcut  than that would help. And also package some external files like sound files in the apk created by App Factory.
