I just go to my Pebble at Best Buy today. I was looking for a list of available apps when I came across this one. Looks like I'll start.

Had my Pebble about 6 weeks I guess. Here is my list:
Really like Glance. That works very well, use it to view a lot of phone detail, and lets me text from some presets
Playing around with Pebble Navigator. So far not really useful, but shows a TON of potential
Use Navigator. I walk a couple of miles every evening and it lets me see my pace, etc. Really like that.
Other than those, mainly just some watch faces.

I líke runkeeper for excercising

If you connect audio via Bluetooth in the car pebbledialer is a must. It allows answering from the watch. Also if you absolutely had to you could dial via contact search directly from the watch. Doable but tricky.

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

A Couple of Good Ones
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
Sent from my C6903 using xda premium

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.

I use it to launch Google Search and then with "Okay Google" voice command, can get a lot done without touching the phone.
Also, the possibility of using Pebble Tasker in conjunction with Home Automation is incredibly appealing. Quick off topic question, what are u guys using for that? (I'm looking into Vera Casa Verde)

[GUIDE] Setup Tasker Buttons in Glance

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.
If you found this helpful please hit the thanks button.:good:

You had a syntax error:
"uk.co.finebyte.pebblelgance.TASKERKEY" <- glance NOT lgance
Needs to be

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.

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.

[GUIDE][Difficulty: Beginner] Prompt to add Previous Caller as Contact

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.

Very nice, except I will never get this typed-in. Maybe publish the script that can be downloaded and inserted from tasker.

I had succeeded in doing this before. However, Tasker does not "see" this in either the projects or autimport folders. To where might I push it?

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

Profile triggered by %time variable not firing

Phone is Pixel 3a running Android 10, Tasker is up-to-date.
I have a profile called PwrConnect that runs a task called Clock. The task simply launches my alarm clock app on the phone. The profile is primarily triggered when any power is connected to the phone but it has a secondary condition that specifies the time must be between 10:30pm and 6:00am.
When I plug my charger into the phone the profile is not triggered. If I remove the secondary condition (the time constraint) then the profile triggers when I plug in. But here's where it gets kind of strange. If I include the secondary condition (the time constraint) and I have the Tasker app open when I plug the charger in then the profile fires and runs the task which launches the clock app. Alternatively, I have also tried putting the time constraint in the task (%time > 2230) but that does not work either.
What am I doing wrong??? Or, is this a bug? Anyone else see anything like this?

Do you have "reliable alarms" enabled?
Have you tried a simple profile to just test the time context?

I'm not sure what "reliable alarms" is. Is that a setting in Tasker or Android?
Anyway, I have done some more testing. I added another step to the Clock task to simply flash a message when the task runs and I have found that the task (and therefore the profile) is indeed being executed as it should be - that is: when power is connected and the time is between 10:30pm and 6:00am. I can tell this because the message flashes on the screen when I connect power. BUT... the clock app only launches if I have the Tasker app open when I connect power. If the Tasker app is not open then I see the message flash but the clock app does not launch.

Reliable alarms is a tasker setting in preferences on the monitor tab. It helps tasker accurately execute time related activities.
What device and ROM are you on?
The following profile works fine for me with Tasker not in the foreground:
Code:
Time: From 11:44AM Till 3:44PM
State: Power [
Source:Any
]
Enter: Open App
A1: Launch App [
App:Clock
Data:
Exclude From Recent Apps: Off
Always Start New Copy: Off
]

Device: Pixel 3a, ROM: stock Android 10 (not rooted)
I am fairly certain that the problem lies with the clock app that I am using. When I change the task so that it launches the stock, built-in clock app then everything works as it should. The clock app that I am trying to use (Kaloer Clock) is no longer in the PlayStore so has not been updated in a while. So, I suspect that there is something about it that Android 10 does not like. The app still functions fine and I can manually start it or Tasker will start it IF Tasker is running in the foreground. In fact this app has a setting that should start it automatically when power is plugged in but that stopped working about the time that I upgraded to Android 10, which is why I was trying to automate it with Tasker. I hate to give up on this app though because it is the only clock app I have found that allows me to tap anywhere on the screen to snooze the alarm (or long-press to cancel it). Everything else I have tried makes you tap an on-screen button which is difficult without my glasses.

Using AutoNotification (or any tasker notification listener plugin), a scene and intents, you can make the Google Clock have a full screen snooze/dismiss "button".
I slapped together an example that I put on Taskernet. It's full screen, a tap snoozes and long press dismisses.
To run it as is, you will need AutoNotification installed. The "ktm" after the profile/task/scene names can be removed. I do this to help prevent name collisions with anything already existing during import.

Ktmom,
I installed AutoNotification and imported your project. I am assuming that I need to delete either step 2 or 3 in the Stop Alarm ktm task. But, the scene does not appear unless I have Tasker running in the foreground when the alarm fires. Just wondered if you have test this in Android 10? Seems as though all my problems started after I upgraded.

The action that you're not using can be deleted or left paused.
And no, sorry, I'm always slow to update to major releases. But, there's something to try.
Edit the scene that your using, without changing anything else, tap the 3-dot menu. Select "properties" and change the "property type" to "activity". Save out of the scene.
Now edit the task -> show scene action that you are using and change "display as" to "activity".
Save out of the task, and Tasker, then test again.
