    detection of wireless charging

    Scharkieh · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    Is it possible that the detection of (wireless?) charging is slow/unreliable when motion detection setting in preferences is turned on?

    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”. The car profile becomes active as soon as wireless charging is detected and stays active as long as the phone is in contact with the wireless charger. – Now, when I leave home,

    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 there,

    Failure to access Google Calendar

    anonymized · 0 · Posted

    Tasker seems to be having some trouble accessing some of calendars on my Google account (but not all of them).

    As demonstrated in the attached screencast, the same event, moved from one calendar to a new one I created to test the issue, is either seen or not by the calendar state condition in tasker.

    At first I believed it to be caused by the accent in the calendar name ("CongésVieux" in the screencast), but the new calendar created for the test also include the same accent ("Congés").

    The problem also appears with events in the Google local holidays calendar

    Scene not showing

    A created scene won't appear when the conditions are met. The other tasks in the sequence play just fine, and when I play the sequence manually it appears. I've already tried incompatibility management, all the "how to show" options, and waiting a time before showing it, with no results. I'm using MIUI 11 with no root permissions.

    Also, the scene stays greenlighted as if it was running

    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.

    Cannot find a guide how to edit the conditions for a profile

    I am new to takser coming from llama.

    I searched with google and looked for tasker tutorials but no success.

    I could not even find easy examples how to set up some obvious things like switching wifi off at night.

    I finally managed to create a profile with a schedule condition which switches wifi off at night but now I want to change the time condition but cannot find a way to do it except creating another profile and deleting the old one.

    I also created a profile to switch wifi off when I leave home.

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

    wizardgsz · 2 · Last reply by João Dias

    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?

    Thanks and regards

    next alarm filter

    squwal · 1 · Last reply by João Dias

    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.

    Example :

    My next morning alarm is in 2 days.

    Now :

    - %na_day value is today

    - %na_time value is 21:04

    - %na_package is com.android.providers.calendar

    If I create an alarm today I can sometime have the value of this alarm and the good %na_package : com.android.deskclock but most of the time it

    if %TIME = 9.29 then %TIMEVAR = %TIME+.01 returns 9.3

    When adding a minute to a time variable, the result drops any trailing zero, invalidating the resultant time variable.

    OR, the timer doesn't respect 1 digit minute decimal value of time variable.  Which is odd, because it is fine with the 1 digit hour portion.

    Workaround: add a minute to the time, split the time by "." then append 00 to the 2nd portion and and select the left most 2 char before finally putting it all back together.

    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.
