    Timed profile no longer works

    Max · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a profile that used to play a sound and vibrate every day at a specific time. It no longer works - I get no sound or vibration. I thought there might be something wrong with the audio, but that is not the case. I tried a timed profile that just posted a notification and it did nothing. Help!

    Profile: Water @ 4 (12) Time: 4:00PM Enter: Anon (13) A1: Notify [ Title:Water @ 4 Text: Icon:cust_animal_hippo Number:0 Permanent:Off Priority:5 ] A2: Play Ringtone [ Type:Notification Sound:Bolt Stream:5 ] A3: Vibrate Pattern [ Pattern:1,200,300,200,300,200,800,200,300,200,300,200,800 ]

    Time profile does not trigger if the phone has not been used for some hours and had gone into a deep sleep.

    Marco Faccini · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    I have a reboot profile I want to trigger at 5.30 am. The task works when executed on its own. It would appear that the phone goes into some form of deep sleep and takes tasker with it. I have removed battery optimisation from tasker used use reliable alarms seeing and wake cell option in the monitor preferences. I have used timed profiles for many years in tasker but have never encountered a problem until now.

    My phone is Samsun A8 2018 Android 8. Stock room and is not rooted. The profile for reboot is using autoinput.

    Format of %DATE got changed, how can I switch back to the old format?

    Igor Ramadas · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Or at least create a new ISODATE variable that outputs date in YYYY-MM-DD standard.

    The format changed from DD-MM-YYYY to M-D-YY and this is causing a whole lot of trouble with my automations :-(

    Profile with on Variable Set gets falsely triggered

    Stefan · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Here are the relevant profiles:

    The first profile detects via WIFI near if you are at a hotel and if so sets the variable Ort to 'Hotel'.

    The second profile should trigger only when the variable Ort is set to 'Hotel'. However it seems to trigger without a reason (Hotel WiFi is not close because being at home or at work). This happens only a few times a day. I've attaced a filtered run log and the relevant part of the run log unfiltered as well.

    Just like you fixed AutoInput (linked below), could you also apply that same fix to the main Tasker app?

    Application profile only works when app is in foreground

    Lars Olsen · 2 · Last reply by Lars Olsen

    My profile called "TuneIn Radio" is activated when the app TuneIn Radio is open.

    The linked task is set to de-activate my "Start Spotify" profile, so these 2 do not collide.

    -

    Tasker seems to only sense the TuneIn Radio app when it is in the foreground though.

    If it's in the background, or if the screen is off. Then Tasker runs the exit task, which is to enable the Spotify profile again.

    Just to have said it. My "Start Spotify" profile and the tasks which disables and enables this profile works fine. It's just the part of telling Tasker that the TuneIn

    Tasker is running deleted profiles

    Ciprian Trofin · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    I made a divert call profile, that did not work as expected (I set the pattern to **1 and redirect to my Mom's number, without knowing about the significance of * char). Basically, any call to a number ending in 1 was diverted to Mom.

    I deleted the profile but the diverted action was still active. I restarted the phone - same.

    I disabled Tasker -  the diversion was off. Enabling Tasker reactivated the diversion.

    Phone: Xiaomi Mi A1 - Android Pie.

    I'll have to stop using Tasker untill the problem is solved.

    Profiles not working on Xiaomi MIA1 Android PIE 9.0 when screen is locked

    achar · 6 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hello, i'm using tasker for several years now for some routine scripts (launch music player when bluetooth headset is connected then launch music, send domoticz commands when i come home, that kind of things). I updated my phone (Xiaomi MIA1) to Android 9.0 friday night and now tasker is not able to activate any profile at all. The app is of course removed from battery optimization and is always running. I activated all permissions and accessibility either.

    I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it did nothing. If i test the profiles one by one it works correctly. Thanks.

    Media volume - Level different via profile

    Lars Olsen · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi.

    When a media volume task is executed from a profile, the level is lower than if you execute the task directly.

    Example: I have a profile that executes a task when a spesific bluetooth device is connected.  The task is set to open Spotify, wait for 10 seconds and adjust the media volume to max (30). But the volume is always set to lower than max. I have to reach down in my pocket to get the 2 or 3 last clicks up to max. The task works as intended if I press the play button inside the task

    Android TV Oreo accessibility problems

    joq3 · 3 · Last reply by João Dias

    Hi,

    When I activate accessibility for Tasker on my Android TV (Mi Box) running Oreo I can no longer access the left bar of apps, only the cards on the right.

    Check the attached image, normally you can access everything shown in the picture. But as soon as I activate accessibility I cannot move the "cursor" over to the left (circled in blue).

    I am 100% that Tasker is the problem, tested on two boxes, same thing.
