    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

    schalou · 3 · Last reply by schalou

    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.

    Images moved by Tasker persist in MediaStore

    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.
