So I recently got a Pebble and discovered there were several ways that one could start Tasker actions using the Pebble. I have become a big fan of Glance and decided since it already supports Tasker I would use it instead of relying on another app on my watch. The instructions on how to set things up on the Glance website aren't the easiest to understand so hopefully this guide will help anyone out who is having difficulty.
-Difficulty: Easy
-Requirements: Pebble with Glance, Tasker on your phone, and at least a basic understanding of Tasker
The first thing we're gonna do is get our buttons put into tasker, these are the buttons on the Pebble that you will be using to launch actions from within Glance. I named my profile Glance Buttons but you can name yours whatever you'd like.
-From within Tasker create a new profile. Select Event/System/Intent Received. In the Action field type:
Code:
uk.co.finebyte.pebbleglance.TASKERINIT
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This profile is done, now let's make our task for this profile. I named mine Glance Tasker Buttons but again name your task whatever you'd like.
-Click the + to add an action to the task. Select Misc/Send Intent. In the Action field type:
Code:
uk.co.finebyte.pebbleglance.TASKERSEND
Don't exit yet.
For the next part you can substitute everything after msg: with whatever you would like your button labels to be, I will use mine as an example. There are 3 buttons and the first label will be for the top button, second middle and third bottom. Each button will be separated by :
-In the Extra field type:
Code:
msg:ACV On:ACV Off:Voice Recorder
The hardest part is over, now let's make the buttons actually perform a task.
Create another profile, I call mine Glance Assignments.
-Select Event/System/Intent Received. In the Action field type:
Code:
uk.co.finebyte.pebbleglance.TASKERKEY
Now for the task. Use if for the first action, just click + and type if and you will see it. Pictures are easier than words here so setup your if action as shown here in the picture:
So now you need to decide what happens "if" you press the top button (TASKERTOP) It's up to you pick anything you want, just add another action after the "if" action to assign it to that button.
You assign each button this way, one last picture to show you how it looks with each button assigned to an action.

You had a syntax error:
"uk.co.finebyte.pebblelgance.TASKERKEY" <- glance NOT lgance
Needs to be
"uk.co.finebyte.pebbleglance.TASKERKEY"
Took me awhile to catch that one. After that, everything works great. Thanks for the post.

Is there anyway to have Glance conduct hourly vibrates? I find myself wanting this feature a lot but cannot hide from the fact that Glance is just all around awesome.
I have messed around with Tasker very little and cannot find out how to program an hourly task. I tried creating a task that
1. Notify Vibrate - then Wait for 1 hour. It vibrates the first time on the phone then also the watch when I start it but there's nothing time specific. If I start the task at 8:10 then it'll vibrate at that time.
Hope someone can help.
Try making a profile that triggers every hour. Then have a task that broadcasts the intent " uk.co.finebyte.pebbleglance.TASKERVIBE"
The intent will make the pebble Vibrate.

Great job. I figured this out yesterday but man it racked my brain. Many thanks and this makes glance a NO brainer for my default app.

what are some of the actions ppl are using glance+ tasker to perform? I've never used tasker but am willing to learn. I know it's extremely powerful but have never thought of anything I needed to run automatically. I'm sure some ppl have ridiculous profiles and actions setup. I read one guy has it configured to disable his lock screen when his pebble is connected and in range and enables a pass code when not.

I use Pebble Tasker's ANDROID app, to populate the Tasker actions in Glance, with it's optional feature. Works great, much easier to set up and maintain, then setting it up via Glance's intents. The Pebble Tasker Android app, basically creates the intents for you.
I don't actually use the Pebble Tasker WATCH app at all. The author of Pebble Tasker, said he's adding Long Press Button support to his Glance Support soon! (awesome!) that'll increase Glance's actions to beyond 3!
As far as the Actions, I have my three Tasker buttons in Glance setup to do this:
1.) Flashlight (this triggers TeslaLED which has a tasker intent to toggle flashight / camera flash. One press to turn on, one to turn off.)
2.) Google Now (this opens the Voice Search application, so that I can interact with Google Now and do voice commands etc. I'm extra l33t, so I'm using the SecureSettings tasker plugin, to also first, turn the display on and wake the phone, and then disable keyguard (because otherwise, this won't work with the phonescreen off unfortunatly). It then waits 15 seconds, and re-enabled keyguard again).
3.) Voice Record (This starts recording via a tasker plugin for the app Easy Voice Recorder Pro. So when pressed, it starts a voice recording. Great for stealth recording, getting pulled over, etc. The author of Easy Voice Recorder is going to add a new Tasker option to "toggle recording" so you can start/stop with one button press. If Pebble Tasker adds long press support before that, then i'll just do Long press for Stop recording in the mean time).

I use an app called Pebble Locker to disable the lockscreen when my watch is connected (in range). When it's disconnected, my phone then requires a PIN to unlock. I did have this set up in Tasker at one point, but Pebble Locker is much easier.

its cool since you can change the 3 labels dynamically to anything you want with Tasker
including powerful variables
the regular glance is nice but it wasn't showing some things i wanted such as google voice
i made it show missed calls, missed sms, missed google voice, missed e-mail
2nd line: current zip code, temperature, and battery level
3rd line: description of weather e.g. partly cloudy
top right button will refresh zip code/weather
middle right button will refresh everything
bottom right will launch PebbleTasker

open Glance then Press Middle Right button and again once more to go into Tasker
you will see Loading... for all 3 lines. In tasker, you have the ability to change this text and what happens when you press any of the 3 buttons.
i followed this tutorial to change the 3 lines of text:
https://plus.google.com/u/0/109925457418000128828/posts/WKjzY7rktKz
if you are successful, you can make the 3 lines of text say something e.g. msg:hello world
the trick is changing the Extra msg:line1:line2:line3 to include global variables e.g. msg:%WIFI
To make them indicate stuff for example to make a missed call indicator:
1) make a Profile with event Missed Call, * (you can name the profile if you like)
2) create a task for this profile and make an action Variables > Variable Set
Name: %PBLMISSEDCALLCOUNT, To: %PBLMISSEDCALLCOUNT + 1, check Do Maths
every time you have a missed call the variable will be the last number + 1.
3) make another profile to reset the counter to 0. New Profile > Application > Phone (or whatever phone app you use)
make this profile a new task and again Variables > Variable Set and just like step #2, except To: is now 0.
4) in the msg: line from the tutorial input the global variable e.g. msg:%PBLMISSEDCALLCOUNT missed calls:line2:line3
5) now all you need is to update the pebble when you get a missed call or reset the counter by opening the phone app.
to keep things simple, just add a Task > Perform Task and point it to the task containing uk.co.finebyte.pebbleglance.TASKERSEND,
call this task something like GlanceUpdateLines

If you are on iOS and jailbroken there's Smartwatch+ which adds iPhone battery, stocks, bit coin prices, GPS location, missed calls, emails and texts. Also there's PebbleActivator which adds activator actions to the watch. HTTPebble works on iOS and android, but I don't know what it does pebblebarn [dot] com has watch faces and a ton of other apps so go check it out.

But it seems very inaccurate. I.e. it shows rain but my Yahoo! weather and OneWeather app says otherwise. Plus the temperature seems to be off by at least 5 degrees.
Glance and Pebble Tasker with Tasker is awesome... My only gripe is that Google Navigation publishes too many updates. I don't need an update every 10th of a mile...

Glance and Pebble Tasker work great with Tasker
Task functionality in Glance and Pebble Tasker work great with Tasker. Glance has three tasks and Pebble Tasker has three buttons plus a menu of up to 20 tasks.
Using Glance and dynamically changing based on locations. Glance Labels are variables, Home, Work, Class are Tasker profiles controlled by variables. Glance Label variables and %key actions are variable based on if %work=1, else if %class=1, else.
Default:
WiFi Hotspot Toggle
Call Wife
Turn on Silent (need to setup a toggle)
Work:
Turn off Work Profile (%work=0)
Open Canvas Watchface with Starbucks mobile payment barcode (haven't tested but heard it works, need to find a programmatic way to return to Glance too)
Open LevelUp on phone (need to setup like Starbucks)
Class
Turn on WiFi
Call Wife
Open Starbucks Watchface (same as above)
Tried but turned off:
If connected to SSID attwifi (Starbucks standard SSID) with a very strong signal, open Starbucks mobile payment barcode watch face via Canvas. Exit Task: return to standard Canvas watch face.
I'll use this again if I can find a programmatic way to return to Glance instead of a Canvas watch face.

I made a few toggle lights and fans for my home with remotestick (controls relays with tellstick) + Pebble Tasker and toggle scripts in tasker so i can turn on/off most things at home without finding the remote / phone. I also got temperature sensors hooked up so I can check inside, outside, fridge, server room temperature from the watch. Works really well even when not at home.

Good did you do toggle on/off scripts or use separate on/off?
Toggle was not that hard to set up,
Create a task and add task -> If
%RSD_<yournumberfromremotestick> matches 2
Add a plugin task to turn ON same device.
Add another task -> Else if
%RSD_<yournumberfromremotestick> matches 1
Add a plugin task to turn OFF same device.
The time you can turn on off the same device depends on the poll interval set in remotestick, so if it's set to 5min you have to wait 5min to turn off a device you just turned on with the toggle task.
At least it saves a slot for more devices you can also use long press for alternative task and the 20 tasks menu.

Hi,
I'm using Glance for my Pebble, and unfortunately it only supports 3 tasks.
I have no earlier experience with Tasker, so I just did 3 separate tasks and mapped them to the buttons
Currently having on and off the bedroom lights (TOP and BOTTOM) and garage open / close (CENTER). The garage only uses one as it's a potential free relay.
Maybe I should try Pebble Tasker as i see they have 20 tasks in list ... but don't know how that will work in conjuction with Glance (?)..
You can also set up PebbleTasker to make a menu based system. Each of its three main tasks can rewrite the tasks to new ones on the fly.
My first set of three are "car", "garage", and "music". If I press car, I get a new set of "lock", "unlock", and "start", which do as they suggest. The other tasks operate in a like manner. You can go as deep as you want.
I actually made a mock up of a text input setup with it, based on an example app.

Still need to figure out how to do a ringer on/off toggle?
Pretty much everything I do on the Pebble is via Tasker, so the list is fairly long. Some highlights:
Home automation controls
Dynamic Music Boss switching that automatically controls phone media players outside, but PC media player (including metadata support) at home
Custom bus schedule system
Custom notification back end for greater control over when notifications are sent
Integration with custom todo list
Dynamically changing Canvas watchfaces controlled by and with info from Tasker
NFC chip on strap for unlocking phone
etc
I use tasker and secure settings to remove pin lock when phone is connected to the watch and relock if not. As I always have my phone and watch on me, it makes life easier, but I know the information on my phone is secure if I leave it somewhere or loose it

I did the same thing. If my oebble is conn3cted to my phone, my lockscreen is disabled. If my watch disconnects, then my phone asks for a PIN.
I used Pebble Tasker to make my top right button launch Google Voice Search, but it wasn't waking up my phone before launching the app. I was able to figure out how to map my bottom button to wake up the screen. As it stands now, I press the bottom button to wake up the phone, and then top button to open voice search.
I haven't yet been able to figure out how to combine those into one routine. Ideally, with one press of the button, I would like my watch to 1. Wake up the phone, and 2. Launch Google Voice.
I'm not literate enough in Tasker to figure it out yet, but I'm pretty sure it can be done.

Just use the 'wait' command to be sure there's enough time for the screen to fully wake, then call out for your 2nd task inside the first one.

Do you find yourself annoyed having to manually add someone as a contact after receiving a phone call from them? Would you rather be prompted with the option to add them as a contact before you fumble going through the proper menus? This short tasker task will do just that for you, using the power of intents.
Prerequisites
OPTIONAL: Snackbar Tasker Plugin to make a neat prompt asking you to add the previous caller as a contact
Instructions
Click + to create a new Profile and name it "Add Contact" or anything else you want.
Choose a "State" context, go to "Phone" and select "Call." Set the Type to "Incoming" and leave the Number field blank.
Back out, and name the task that pops up whatever it is you want.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Here's what your Profile should look like. Now, let's move on to the task itself.
Task --> If. For the first condition, put %CNAME ~ %CNUM. This checks whether or not the previous caller already has a set name by comparing it to the phone number they called from. If the two match, then that means the contact is not recognized. Press the + icon to create another Condition, and make sure that the two Conditions are linked by an And. For the second Condition, set it to %CNUM !~ 0. This checks to see if the previous caller was an unknown/private number, and if so, you won't be prompted to add them as a contact.
OPTIONAL: Plugin --> Snackbar Tasker Plugin. Select a "Bottom Sheet". Enter the configuration for the snackbar, and enter a title for the dialog that will pop-up (I put "Add caller as contact?"). Under "Items to appear in sheet separated by ","" put down Yes,No. Under "Commands to be sent separated by "," enter yes,no. Take note that there should be NO space between the comma. For the color name fields, enter the hex name for however you want the snackbar to be themed. When you're done, exit out by pressing the checkmark, then press the back key when you're back inside Tasker.
System --> Send Intent. Under Action put in android.intent.action.INSERT For Cat, leave it at None. For the Mime Type, type in vnd.android.cursor.dir/raw_contact. Next, for the first Extra field type in phone:[%CNUM] Finally, scroll down to Target and select Activity. If you followed the optional step above to make a snackbar, then under If set the condition to %bs_command ~ yes. This means the intent will only be sent if you select yes when the snackbar pops up after a phone call.
Task --> End If
That's it! Let me know if there are any suggestions you would make.

Do you find yourself annoyed having to manually add someone as a contact after receiving a phone call from them? Would you rather be prompted with the option to add them as a contact before you fumble going through the proper menus? This short tasker task will do just that for you, using the power of intents.
Prerequisites
OPTIONAL: Snackbar Tasker Plugin to make a neat prompt asking you to add the previous caller as a contact
Instructions
Click + to create a new Profile and name it "Add Contact" or anything else you want.
Choose a "State" context, go to "Phone" and select "Call." Set the Type to "Incoming" and leave the Number field blank.
Back out, and name the task that pops up whatever it is you want.
Here's what your Profile should look like. Now, let's move on to the task itself.
Task --> If. For the first condition, put %CNAME ~ %CNUM. This checks whether or not the previous caller already has a set name by comparing it to the phone number they called from. If the two match, then that means the contact is not recognized. Press the + icon to create another Condition, and make sure that the two Conditions are linked by an And.

It's a profile so it should go in the profile folder. To import a profile, you long-press on the "PROFILES" tab up top.
I notice that when I click "Yes" to add the caller as a contact, the phone number comes in the format [##########] with the brackets around it. Is there a way to make it come in the format +1 ###-###-#### ?

The default intent action requires it to be formatted as such, as anything else simply makes the PHONE field end up as blank (not sure why). However, you can use AutoShare's intent builder with this intent in order to get around this. Credits to redditor /u/YoungKnave for this intent. You download this, import it into AutoShare, then inside Tasker rather than sending an intent through itself you would go to Plugin --> AutoShare and select the intent you imported. Then for the phone number, put %CNUM. I found that doing it this way properly formats it, however I didn't mention it above because AutoShare isn't a free app.

Found the profiles folder and moved it to there and was able to import it (one thing about tasker are all those non-intuitive, even hidden functions to try out, somehow )
Needs a Bottom Sheet and an AutoShare plugin. What do I install? A lot of plugins with paid additions by one author.
I tried this but I keep getting red marks on the if statement. Is there something I did wrong? Also, I couldnt download the file. How do I download it?
Thanks
Also, when I tried to import the profile, it kept saying failed to import profile data :/
Ok, most stupid question ever. Where do i get the tasker from?

Snackbar Tasker Plugin and AutoShare are completely optional for this profile. The XML I attached uses it because I have paid for it and already use it frequently, but if you follow the instructions I've written above then you do not need to use either.
It might seem odd, but once you get into Tasker you will notice a recurring name in the most frequently recommended plugins: joaomgcd. This guy is a wizard at Tasker, and has made dozens of Tasker plugins. While you CAN do things without his plugins (as I've written) it does make things neater and simpler. It's up to you though.

The red marks are fine. They simply mean that RIGHT NOW if you were to run the task it would fail the If statement. Meaning, the last phone call you had was from a recognized phone number, hence Tasker would fail this condition since it should only fire when the previous caller is not a recognized contact.

I installed them, not yet paid up. However, if I can get along without them, I already have a pretty crowded phone so a couple less apps would not hurt.
As I said, the problem is hand-entering all this stuff. Please attach a "virgin" version as well. Folks could try them both, see if they prefer snackbar's eye-candy or going bare is good enough. Unless I intend very involved usage, AutoShare might be overkill.
Not sure what I am missing, but the Send Intent action never fires for me, as the IF statement never passes.
I added a Flash action to verify that the %bs_command variable is being set correctly, and it appears to be.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Scratch that.. looks like my phone autocorrected one of the commands in the Send Intent action. Working now!
Nevernind i found the way
A few months back, I wrote about a hacky way to enable one-handed mode using a shell script, taken from this reddit thread. With this task (provided you have root access), you can enable one-handed mode just by holding down the home button or swiping-up from it.
Prerequisites
Root access
Instructions
(For Android 6.0+) Go to Settings --> Apps. Press the settings cog up top, then go to Default Apps. Enter "Assist & Voice Input" and for the "Assist App" choose Tasker. Be warned that doing this will stop the "OK Google" on every screen (and off) from working, but if you're okay with that then go ahead and change it!
(For Android < 6.0) Clear the default app that is set for swiping up from the home button. You will enable Tasker as your default app after you're done following the rest of the steps below.
Create a new profile and name it whatever you want, then choose the Event context. Go to UI, then choose Assistance Request.
Back out, and create a new task named 'Overscan' or whatever else you want.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now, we'll make the actions needed for the task itself.
Task --> If. Set the condition to %Overscan eq 1.
Code --> Run Shell. For the Command, type in wm overscan reset. Check "Use Root" and then back out.
Variables --> Variable Set. Under Name, choose %Overscan, and set it to 0.
Task --> Else.
Code --> Run Shell. For the command, type in wm overscan LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM where each of the directions are the pixel counts that the screen will shift in. On my Nexus 6p, I've set it to wm overscan 0,845,0,0. See my article for examples.
Variables --> Variable Set. For Name choose %Overscan and set it to 1.
Task --> End If.
That's it! Now when you swipe-up/long press the home button, you'll launch the Overscan tasker task which will shift your screen depending on whether or not it has already been shifted. The %Overscan variable is a global variable that is set to 1 if the screen is shifted and 0 if not.
Of course, this isn't the only thing you can do with long-pressing the home button. You can also do and set the Assistance Request to open a web-search overlay on any app.

@MishaalRahman
Thanks for this great guide! I first set it up as suggested and then switched it to a shake event, quite handy. I might end up using this with a swipe gesture from Nova launcher.
Do you have any idea how we could realize a shrinking screen just like Samsungs one handed mode? Example here -> http://www.androidcentral.com/sites.../2015/09/note-5-reduce-screen-size-screen.jpg
I did some research and I think it might work using the commands "wm size" and/or "wm density", but I have very little knowledge about how to use them properly. Maybe you can help me out on this...?

When I use this in the home screen and all drawer I get what's in the pictures. Any thing I need to change to fix this? I am using Nova launcher on a rooted nexus 6.

To mimic Samsung's implementation, you will have to change the LEFT and RIGHT parameters. However be noted that it will really mess with a lot of apps and they won't display properly.

Experiment a bit. Make sure you set a fail safe to revert it back to normal, say if you shake your phone.
Thanks for this trick! But i don't seem to be getting tasker as an option in the voice assist list of apps. I do get secure settings though. Anything that i might be missing here? Also, i've granted accessibility permissions for tasker. On 6.0.1 - Nexus 5

Hello!
Help needed, I am on Galaxy S6 and I am looking for a way to start / stop the task by long pressing the home button.
As for now I didn't figured it out.
Any help please?
How can I get the correct overscan
If you're busy with something and you get a phone call, it might frustrate you having to put your phone down and manually enabling speakerphone in order to actually talk with the person on the other end. However with Tasker, you can easily enable Speakerphone when you're in a call by placing your phone upright on a flat surface. It works by reading your accelerometer to grab the current orientation of the device. Let's set it up.
Instructions
Create a new Profile and name it "Speakerphone."
Create a new State context, go to Phone --> Call. Set it to "Any."
Create a new task, but there's no need to name it anything because it will only need a single action.
Within the Entry task, go to Audio --> Speakerphone and set it to On.
Exit the task editor, and then long-press on the Call Any,* context in order to add another Context.
Add another State context, and go to Sensor --> Orientation. Set "Is" to Face Up.
Exit out, and now long-press on the Entry task. Tasker will ask you to add an Exit Task. Create one.
Once inside the task editor again, go to Audio --> Speakerphone again. This time set Speakerphone to Off.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's it! Now, this profile will trigger when your phone is both a) within a phone call and b) face-up on a flat surface (the orientation is detected as face-up). On satisfying these conditions, Tasker will enable speakerphone, and when it fails to meet the condition (ie. when you exit the call or pick the phone up) speakerphone will turn off.
maybe little offtopic....but the same feature is available on my oneplus one, slimsaber-rom. in the phone-app under SETTINGS >> CALL u can find the option AUTOMATIC PROXIMITY SENSOR. set it ON and u have the same feature
Not working.. Any setting do I need to change for the accelerometer to recognize? I have done exactly like above..
I click + to add profile and it asks me for a "First Context"
Edit:
1. Create a new Profile, select State context and name it "Speakerphone."

how will this react to having headphones plugged in? at work, my phone is usually in a position that would trigger this but i plug in headphones to talk and listen. i wouldnt want speakerphone to override the headphones at work. at home though this would be fine since i dont use the headphones there.

Just Add Another Context for when Headphones are not plugged in, you can play with your own settings. Even by using Ifs but thats another thing you dont need to know now.

was just coming to make the same comment. added a third state context of headset plugged in > any > invert. seemed to do the trick. thanks!
I did not know I needed this profile until I read it! I have found myself in this scenario multiple times and I never thought to use Tasker to make my life easier! And it is so simple!
I guess it really depends on where the main speaker is located. If it is on the back, then you would want to have the orientation set to the back, otherwise, the front.
It worked on my LG G4, thanks!

Calibrate your accelerometer in Tasker's preferences. Click the 3 dot menu in the top right, go to preferences, go to the Monitor tab, then scroll all the way down to the Calibrate button under where it says "Accelerometer." Do that then try it again.

The general idea for any tasker creation is like this: 1) create a context, 2) create a task. The context is what must occur on your phone in order for Tasker to be triggered, and the task is the action that Tasker then performs. In this case, the context is when Tasker detects that the orientation of your phone is face-up AND the fact that you are in the middle of a phone call. Then, Tasker fires the associated task that enables speakerphone. Naming a context or task is entirely optional.

Did it. Never used speakerphone so see if it even works.
Live and learn obscure Taskerisms-2. This profile is stuck as its own entry, not under the "home" listing. Shown as enabled so we shall see.
On the one plus one there was an option, if you took a call, put it to up to your ear, then decided you wanted others to hear the call, you could pull it away from your face, and after 2-3 seconds the phone automatically switched to speakerphone. Is anyone able to replicate that within tasker. It was a cool option.

Love this Tasker stuff! THANKS for this feature, I DO hate putting that speaker phone on, and I'm always doing something when I get a call..
I've been meaning to update my article for about two years now.. since I last checked... College program is almost done!
If you wouldn't mind I could add this to the list in the future! Feel free to check out my profiles ready for download as well
Last one I remember working on was a failed login/Phone theft preventer which is still sitting half done on my phone.
For this to work, someone would have to attempt to login to your phone 3 times, Tasker would then Lock up the phone, force data and GPS on,
and take a few pictures using the front facing camera. Then send them through email, or text to give you a better idea of who has your phone.
D'OH!, this is a feature in this form now lol..
Cheers!
