[help]Voice command to tasker while screen is off - Tasker Tips & Tricks

I have a profile with AutoNotification and Autovoice which log the notifications to a txt file.
While screen is off if I say "Okay Google" and Then "Any New Notification" its read me all the notifications
what I want to do same thing while screen is off. for that i need to set google to always listen me
or autovoice listen me while screen is off. battery drain is not a matter for this as i am on Android M
and i will make it on condition basis

The only think I can think of is to use AutoVoice's always listening feature, but that's really hit or miss from my experience. Okay Google only works with the screen off if the phone is plugged in.
Just set the task to only trigger when the specific command is received through AutoVoice.

Gear 2 neo functionality review (Note 3 att)

A quick run down of what works and what doesn't.
1. Can send and receive calls via the watch. (then I changed my ringtone to "Knightrider")
2. Can send, receive, and reply to SMS via watch, send by using premade templates or Svoice typing (although not easy to switch between the two on the fly)
3. Can receive most notifications from APPS when selected
-cannot receive TASK notifications from calendar for some odd reason, so if i set up a task like "remind me in 5 minutes to brush my teeth" i get no reminder on the watch, but i do on the phone. This really makes me mad.
4. Can create appointments in calendar, but cannot set an appointment reminder. Note 3 has no default reminder setting, so if i use S voice on the watch to set a calender appointment, i will not get a reminder about it. This really makes me mad.
5. Cannot use Svoice to launch navigator from watch, but can from phone. This really makes me mad.
6. Can set an alarm using Svoice from watch, but cannot name the alarm. This makes me mad seeing as options 3 and 4 arent working either!!
-conclusion, no way for me to talk to watch and be reminded by watch and phone
7. went from 100% battery to 40% battery in 21 hours with heavy use. (3 phone calls, constant fiddling, media remote, tv remote, Sleep app, lots of testing)
8. Can control playback of currently selected playlist on phone via Media remote, with forward and backward skipping. Cannot select music on phone in any manner. This makes me mad too!
9. Watch on works great for controlling basic TV functions. There is no guides of any sort on watch for programs.
That should answer some of the questions that i had initially before my purchase but could not find. If anyone has any questions about functions ask and i will provide what i can.
10. When two notifications come in at the same time there is no way to view both without going to notifications app.
11. Cannot reply to email notifications
12. there is no Auto brightness setting, you must manage this manually
13. Svoice will not "Read the news" due to this function is not available
14. Dismissing a notification on the watch also dismisses the notification on the phone
15. deleting a notification on the watch does not delete it from the phone
16.You cannot set a "Location" reminder from Svoice on the watch, only a standard task reminder.
17. The wrist gesture is not very strict. My screen goes on unintentionally all the time. The minimum screen timeout is 10 seconds.
4. FIX - To make calendar reminders default to a value, you need to remove "My Calendar" and "Samsung Calendar" from the calendar app, instead only use Google calendar, when you use svoice to make an event, the google calendar will automatically add your predefined reminder.

This was a great run down! :good::good:
--especially since I was waiting to get my Neo, which finally arrived yesterday.
Question --where is the sleep app?
I hunted high and low and can't find it. (Either I am going blind or I need to do something to get it! I thought I saw somewhere in these XDA threads where someone had to download an update to enable or get sleep app, but I have the latest gear manager (updated yesterday when I setup the Neo).
My NEO software version is ANCD, (that is the only thing I am thinking could be the issue!)
Thank's in advance for any assistance
EDIT: SLEEP.APK OK I had to manually update the Neo's rom via Kies3 (after DL/Installing Kies3, plugged in the Neo and Kies discovered a software update. I went from Neo Rom NCD to ND8.) After the update, I had the Sleep app in apps!

what can tasker do for you?

Tasker can do a multitude of things to your phone, and it has done this for me over the years. Even before Android had automatic rules for Do Not Disturb, Tasker ensured my phone wouldn't disturb me while I got my beauty sleep. At show time, Tasker would set my phone to silent, ensuring my Fantasmic ring tone didn't blare out in a live broadcast. When I was getting in the car, Tasker recognized the Bluetooth head unit and executed a task that would turn off my Wi-Fi and turn on my music.
Before Google Assistant put so many commands at my fingertips, Tasker and AutoVoice — a third-party plugin that allows users to program specific voice commands for our tasks — combined to give me vital hands-free commands, and when it combined with Moto Voice on my Moto X, it felt like actual magic.
The Tasker use that keeps me around, however, is my Tasker + Google Play Music alarm clock. This alarm profile and task brings back the convenience and nostalgia of my old CD and iPod alarm clocks, turning back on my current Google Play Music queue rather than playing the old song or alarm tone day after day after day.

Autovoice not triggering Tasker Task.

I'll preface this with I'm a complete newb when it comes to Tasker and plug ins. With that said, I'm attempting to create a task that can be triggered by my google home to cast a web url camera stream to my Shield. I've been able to create the Tasker Task to stream it using AutoCast to the shield. If I run that task manually inside Tasker, it works everytime. However, I'm unable to get Autovoice to trigger that Task. I've created a profile, (New, Event, Plugin, AutoVoice, Recognized) configured the commands in autovoice and linked it to the task in Tasker. For whatever reason, anytime I ask Google Assistant to "Ask autovoice (command name)", I get an autovoice response, "Command sent (command name)" but I never see a toast message on my Note 8, where I've configured everything, and the task is never ran. I'm assuming I'm missing something in the autovoice configuration. Can anyone shine some light on what I may be doing wrong? I appreciate any assistance I can get. Also, if I left out any pertinent information, please let me know.
Also, if I test the command from inside the autovoice app, I do get the toast message and the task triggers. To my untrained eye, it definitely seems like google assistant just isn't communicating with autovoice, in the way it should be.
I was able to get this working. My issue was, I did not have a remote device selected to run the autovoice commands. Once I selected that, I was able to get this working. Just updating in case someone stumbles upon this in the future.

Autovoice and Assistant

Hi guys, when I try to send an autovoice command through the normal 'ask autovoice to...', the command is executed and then autovoice stay in wait for others commands.
The problem happens when I try to send command with a shortcut of Google assistant... Only receiving the response 'command sended' and then autovoice left the conversation...
Ok you need to have an Autovoice Profile in place to react to the Google Assistant message. In Google assistant (Short cut) Ask Autovoice to...... In Tasker, Create a profile with a AutoVoice Recognised Event listening for the short cut text, I've noticed in the past that it helps to use exactly the same case etc. This will then link to a Tasker 'Task' to actually perform what you want it to do.

Could that method be used to ask autovoice to trigger the news briefing of google assistant? I wold like to replace google assistant but do not want to lose my news..
Hi, If you can create a tasker event that will open your news feed, then I don't see why not.

Autovoice with Alexa

I have a task setup and is triggered by autovoice. On alexa app i have created a routine to launch the command using the action 'ask autovoice (name of command)'.
I say to echo speaker to trigger the routine using my set command and instead of the task running on my phone it will reply with 'say your autovoice command'.
I know that I've set up autovoice correctly as I can say 'ask autovoice (name of trigger' and it will work fine. So the issue is when I set a routine it will not run the trigger just open the autovoice skill so I can say the trigger.
Anyone else experiencing this and got a solution.
FYI I just switched from Google Nest speakers as the speakers were causing many issues for me however Google can run the routine without issues.
