    Bluetooth disconnect device not working?

    Peter Kingswell · 5 · Last reply by Peter Kingswell

    Hi,

    I want a Task that will disconnect my headphones. So I created a Bluetooth Connection Task as you'd expect but when I execute it, the headphones are still connected. 

    Any tips on what I should be doing? I've tried matching by MAC address and name to no avail.

    Date Time Conversion Bug 12p-1p

    Tim Curran · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I've discovered a bug in Date Time Conversion. 

    Any conversion from a Time string to Seconds where Time string is between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM results in an output that is actually in the midnight hour the next day.

    I've written conversion routines like this before in javascript and other languages, so I know from experience that an exception subroutine is required for 12-1pm; you can't just add 12 to get 24hr clock time (which works correctly starting at 1:00 PM). If you try, you wind up with exactly this problem.

    Tasker is sometimes disabled until I log in to Google Play

    Henry · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    What I did

    I paid for Tasker and signed out of Google Play. I have most app permissions turned off. I use a Google Pixel with LineageOS 16, an Android 9 variant.

    What I expected

    I thought that I could use Tasker while signed out of my Google account.

    What actually happens

    Every few days I get a notification: 'Trial period ended. Sorry, you can't use Tasker until you purchase it from the Google Play Store.'

    If I open Tasker, the Play Store quickly opens instead.

    When I log in, the notification vanishes and I can use Tasker again.

    Tasker "time context" cannot restore previous state switching off the phone

    Hello,

    I am able to setup a "time context" from time X to time Y. If I switch OFF the phone while the profile is active, Tasker is not able to restore the previous state later. E.g. a task to set "Do not disturb" mode ON from late night to the early morning. 

    Is it ok as expected?

    Profile deactivates shortly after phone locks

    Chris Lothian · 6 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

     

    I have a few different profiles which mostly modify the volume of phone ringer, etc which are triggered by Wifi Near states. For instance, while at home at night or at work, these profiles reduce the volume of the ringer. I also have a "default" profile which has a condition that it activates only if none of the other profiles are active and this default returns volumes to normal and does a few other things. Since using Tasker on my Huawei P30 Pro, I've been noticing that when I'm at home or at work, which means the @home

    Hi,

    Is there a way to add a filter for the next alarm package provider ?

    Because I want to put the date and time of my next morning alarm in a http post, but the %na variables are always overrided by different packages than the clock.

    Bluetooth connected

    squwal · 3 · Last reply by squwal

    When bluetooth connected to a specific device is active (and shown in the profils tab) the trigger "doesn't launch" the associate task.

    If I manually launch the task (by the tasks tab) I confirm that the task is working.

    Also I can see the trigger and the task call in the execution log, and the differents actions inside the tasks without any error. But the actions are not actually performed.

    I tried different actions (launch app, pop-up notification, ...) with the same results.

    I try on another phone (same model, and same configuration) with the same result.

    Background: I have a home profile that becomes active when either wifi connection OR location (geofence) indicate that I am at home. Since I do not want the home profile to be active when my car profile is active I also added the condition “not car-profile active”.

    If I set a task to launch an app it will only do it if I have tasker open and running in the foreground and I'm browsing inside it. Otherwise apps aren't launching e.g from home screen with tasker minimised.other things like vibrate on trigger work so the task is initiated. But apps do not launch. Seeing the logs it says all is good and app is launched.

    When Tasker has Notification Access & Do Not Disturb Access (to control ringer) it breaks the Greyscale feature of Wind Down in Android 10

    Josh McKevitz · 3 · Last reply by Josh McKevitz

    I've been using a Pixel 2 since they were released and I used to have a profile which would see I am near my work's wifi and then set my ringer to 0 as not to disturb coworkers. This worked perfectly and had no ill effects for a few years.

    I'm not sure exactly when, probably around February/March, the Greyscale feature of Wind Down would, seemingly at random times, disable itself after it had been activated (both manually & by time of day).

    I was able to narrow the behavior down to Tasker and, specifically, Notification/DnD access permissions.

    Android 10 Tasker Notification Information

    Hi, the implemented idea a couple days ago which allowed the Tasker Notification Information to be collapsed and show the current profiles in the Notification Title worked for Android 9 very good.

    I upgraded to Android 10 and now Notifications are showed duplicated and sometimes it switches back to only one as it should be but immediately duplicates again. And for the main issue, it seems the Profiles are not written to the Notification Title again like prior the idea implementation.
