I created a notification event that will play a song extremely loud so to wake myself up during the night if a certain notification was intercepted from a different app. The problem is that the profile does not always trigger even though a notification appears on the other app. Checking the log also shows that the event was not triggered. Attached are how I've created the profile and task.

If anyone can determine the issue just from my post please let me know else I will provide more information about my device settings, even though I've checked to make sure

I clicked on backup on google drive and my configuration was actually gone instead of being saved, I did not press the wrong button, it asked me where to save my backup, I didn't choose anything for the local storage, pressed "back" and then pressed "ok" when the prompt to save it on google drive came and I chose the exact drive folder. Couldnt restore it from the backup Maybe it had to do with the following bug: when I use the autoinput app and go on the button "use via tasker" then it loads up a different tasker configuration

I'm not seeing expected behaviour in 5.9.3 using Local Variable Passthrough and the Child Inheritance.

As an example;

So the value of %localvar is established in ParentTSK, then shared with SCENE1 when ParentTSK calls it, then shared with ChildTSK when SCENE1 calls it, and updated in SCENE1 via the Local Variable Passthrough.

In practice, the process does not run as expected:

As you can see, once the ChildTSK ends, even though it’s told to update the local variables in the parent task, the value of %localvar returns to its previous state.

This is not expected behaviour, %localvar from ChildTSK should

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 with a custom Android 7.1.2. Tasker version 5.9.3 On a Lost Call event, I try to read the %CNAME variable but it contains the number, just like the variable %CNUM, even if the phone number is among contacts. How to solve? Best regards

Samsung Note 20 Ultra, Android 10, kernel 4.19.81, not rooted.

I'm trying to write a simple task that will send calls to voicemail if the number isn't in my address book.

I've enabled all the permissions on tasker (screenshot attached), but it still says it needs the "Start a phone call" permission when I either activate it or just try "playing" it.

Here's the error when I "play" it: (also screenshot)

18.09.27/E Tasker needs the following permission(s) for the functionality you have configured: Start a phone call 18.09.27/E End Call: don't have permission(s): Start a phone call 18.09.27/E result: stop

Hi,

I have a profile Call state any + any sensor state -> speakerphone On,

However, when I put my hand to proximity sensor any sensor event turns green even there is no call state.

Does it mean it keeps checking any sensor condition irrespective of other conditions and possible battery drain?

I don't have any means to validate this except reporting to you to check at your end.

Thanks.

Task: ALERT/SAY  Text: The time is %TIME

Result if 09:56: "The time is nine fifty-six."

Result if 10:28: "The time is ten point two eight."

This can be easily recreated by:

Task: ALERT/SAY  Text: 09.56 10.28

Result: Nine fifty-six ten point two eight 

I get a nag screen when trying to automate an action - can I get rid of this?  Trying to open frunk Tesla - also be great if can do this whilst screen locked - P30 Pro.  Thanks

When I have updated Tasker 5.11.1.beta on today, then Kaspersky Internet Security showing virus in Tasker. 

While i testing with the time event with the "every" option, i realized that this doesn't count correctly. I tried with the minimum of 2 min, I wanted a task to run every 2min when when I enable this profile, but it runs before the set 2min. I think this happens when you activate the profile, doesn't count the minutes correctly

Hello!

I have this profile set up:

STATE -> Variable Value ~ 1

Task:

A loop in which every 5 seconds it should do a http request and check whether or not it should open an app. This includes a Wait of 5 sec and a Goto 1 after the loop ended.

This works for a while, however after 2 hours (http request no longer required the app to open), it stops working (http request now requires it to). It's just like the profile and task never existed.

I have another profile which works fine, so Tasker isn't killed. I

I find if I use Custom DND with a suppressed effect (tested with Peek) then set DND to 'Allow All' the suppressed effect is still in effect.

I tested this with the following: Custom DND (with Peek suppressed) -> DND Allow All -> DND Query -> Flash %dnd_suppressed_effects().

As a workaround I use Custom DND with no suppressed effects then DND Allow All (just to clear the DND icon)

They're probably taken from Google Translate, I was able to understand them but I translated the texts two times in my head to understand it. I can help with that, let me know please.

I'm using Samsung M-51 and Kill App feature doesn't work at all.

My problem is same as in this thread, https://tasker.helprace.com/u735-michael/all/activity

It seems it was solved using a custom build. It'll be great if i can get the same or even better if this came fixed in a Tasker update.

Thanks. I ❤️ Tasker

If I create a Project with a Project Variable. When a profile runs a task flashing that variable it appears. If I run that task manually the variable appears unset. This means I find debugging tasks that use project variables is difficult.

Experienced Tasker user here. When there is Task Action If/Then that using both AND, and OR (such as, when there is Global Variable and there is AND that following with a list of Global Variables with OR, then it seems there is one bug in Tasker. Apparently, it didn't recognize the first variable when following with AND and then list of OR values. It does appear to be bug of Tasker as I am writing here, so will show example below in case if I am overlooking something so you can see for yourself.

%ElectVarCurTimeShPatternVar < 10 AND %ElectPriceVarCurTimeVar1 ~

Without using AutoTools Regex I find no easy way to test if a variable is all numeric or not. So I tried Variable Add with an increment value of zero but instead of being ignored as the documentation says, it ends with an error and terminates the task. May I suggest that the two actions be allowed to continue in case of an error, and the documentation be changed accordingly.

On the pixel 4a, if I choose to activate dark mode when the screen goes off (to get a black notification background on the AOD) it for some reason deactivates the AOD entirely. I tried triggering the task by event display off and by display state off. The only action in the task is dark mode: on. Whenever the screen goes off the AOD shows for a brief moment and then disappears. Any idea why this happens?
