I'm trying to find a way to turn on bluetooth automatically when Moto Assist driving starts up. I tried doing a basic set up with tasker but couldnt get it to work.
Anyone have any ideas or complex set ups that I could use with tasker or any other apps.
Thanks XDA!
I've wanted this ever since my first motorcycle headset.

Buy Tasker from the Play Store. It will allow you to set it up so when you open the Assist app it will turn on what ever you want including GPS and Bluetooth.
Well I want it to enable Bluetooth when the assist app kicks into driving mode. Since when it does it just adds a notification to the top and not actually opens the app it doesn't work. The point of the assist app is for it to kick it automatically so I don't want to click the assist app to get Tasker to work.

Buy a $0.5 NFC tag, program it to turn on bluetooth, and place it in your vehicle. There also might be away to get Tasker to do it automatically but I dont have an X yet.
Didn't think of the NFC tag. Great idea.

Not sure if you figured this out, but with Tasker select the Event context -> UI -> Notification
Then for Title put in: Moto assist detects you are driving
This is the profile. Then under task you can have it turn on bluetooth, open an app, start playing music, etc. I have it set to open waze and open play music and then start playing. I'm currently trying to figure out how to get it to automatically close waze and stop music when Assist driving stops.

The UI Notification is the way to go for detecting driving mode, but Tasker can't figure out when the notification is gone unless you're rooted and use a script to list the currently active notifications, which you would have to do repeatedly (not a good idea for battery life). The AutoNotification plugin should have the ability to detect cleared notifications at some point, but it doesn't do that right now.
The only thing I can think of for detecting the end of driving mode is by using a Bluetooth Connected profile and use the exit task to identify when you've walked away from the car.
FYI - I'm not so sure that detecting Assist's driving mode is going to be reliable way to go. Today, Assist still thought I was still driving several minutes after I got out of the car and walked into a nearby store. Also, if you're ever a passenger (someone else's car, a bus, train, etc) it will probably think you're driving.
I'm also interested in getting to work better. Anybody come up with any other tricks?

Use the Event Context -> UI -> Notification to start Bluetooth when driving mode is detected. Then use the following to shut it off after you've left the car. It will switch Bluetooth off after it you have been disconnected from the device for 5 minutes.
Profile: Auto Off Unpaired Bluetooth (63)
Enforce: no
State: Not Bluetooth Connected [ Name:* Address:* ]
State: Variable Value [ Name:%BLUE Op:Matches Valuen ]
Enter: Anon (61)
Abort Existing Task
A1: Wait [ MS:0 Seconds:0 Minutes:5 Hours:0 Days:0 ]
A2: Bluetooth [ Setff ] If [ %PACTIVE ~ *Auto Off Unpaired Bluetooth* ]
Exit: Anon (62)
A1: Bluetooth [ Setff ] If [ %BLUE ~ off ]
I just have tasker turn on BT whenever I'm not connected to my home/work wifi. Works pretty good for me. Sure, sometimes BT is on when I don't need it, but I like not having to mess with it.
Stay tuned, it is coming to Moto Assist ☺
I just leave Bluetooth on all the time. Haven't seen any adverse affects from doing so on my Moto X or my Note 2

I do this too, currently. I guess I was just curious if I could squeeze more battery life out of it if the BT radio was off when I don't need it.
Anyone else using the Tasker Notification Event on the Assist driving notification notice that it stopped working recently?
I had a similar profile working for awhile, but after updating a bunch of apps (Assist being one of them) it stopped working.
Did some experimenting, having tasker display all the notification events (*,*), and it seems like Takser doesnt see every notification. Assist, Music, Podcast Addict..to name a few that are not seen.
But it does see email, sms, and most other notifications.
Not sure what changed.
Using NFC in car for now, but i like having it connect automatically w/o having to take my motoX out of pocket.

I'm having the same problem, though I don't know when it stopped working. Assist was updated about two weeks ago, and I find it hard to believe I didn't notice the issue until now. However, the current release version of Tasker has the same issue, so I'm inclined to blame Assist.
While posting, I took the time to uninstall the updates to Assist, and Tasker can see the notifications now. It's definitely an Assist problem.

I checked my Tasker logs (debug to SD) - at the suggestion of Matt R in the Tasker Google Group, and found that the notification title (as Tasker sees it) is blank, causing Tasker to ignore the notification. This is obviously a change from previous behavior of the Assist app, and I have no idea why they would change it, unless they're moving from a soon-to-be-deprecated API to a newer one.
On the bright side, the AutoNotification plugin correctly recognizes the notification, which I assume is because it uses the newer Notification Intercept API. Also on the bright side, AutoNotification can detect when the "Driving" notification is cleared, so you can run a Tasker task when you stop driving.

Does AutoNotification Lite recognize the notification or you had to purchase the paid version ?
Does anyone know if theres a way to send sms 1 minute earlier each day so day 1 its 9:56 day 2 9:55 day 3 9:54.

Use a variable for the profile's time context. In the task, send the sms then decrease the variable by a minute.

You don't need to convert the variable, just use the correct format. To send initial text at 09:56 am, then 1 minute earlier every day;
Initial value %SMSTime =9.56
Set variable %SMSTime-0.01 (check do maths)
tasker time context
If you want to send only on certain day(s), your profile needs a day context as well.

When not in Beginner Mode, it's possible to specify a global user variable as the source of the From Time or To Time by clicking on one of the rotating-arrow icons
thanks guys. my only problem is that the next day it doesnt trigger. it only triggered once then after the succeding days it doesnt trigger
i have a var %CHECKBAL with value 8.42 and i use that on the time profile like you guys suggested. i put that var on the to and from. Do you guys know what is wrong?
In the profile properties (select the profile then hit the gear icon at top right), is limit repeats checked?
If you go to the variables tab, it's your variable shown and set as you expect?
There's always using tasker's logging to see if there's an error.

cant find the gear icon which contains the limit repeats option. i can only see the three dot. the three dot only has "help:this screen" and "userguide" option. Do you mean the repeat checkbox inbetween from and to?

It sounds like you are inside the context setting. You need to access the profile settings. The profile is the contexts that trigger the task and the task to be triggered.
I'm on the latest beta so I guess maybe it's differing in the "stable" version (I don't remember). The user guide for profiles says "Long-click on the profile name to get profile options".
I've been running this profile for a week. It's been sending an SMS daily, 1 minute earlier each day. I'm posting it here going it will help you. For example, if you don't have "do maths" checked in the set variable action, the variable might get goofed.
Profile: Recurring SMS (37)
Time: From %CHECKBAL Till %CHECKBAL
Enter: SMStest (53)

If it still isn't working, you need to check the tasker log.
I know this might be one of the easiest tasks to perform but still I'm not able to get it through. I tried various methods and read some docs too still not helping.
I've created a profile when my GF sends some specific text below tasks is triggers to provide my GPS, speed and battery %
Please review my tasks below and tell me what am I doing wrong here.

You're trying to use a **very** old unsupported plug in (secure settings). I'm guessing you are on a newer release, so the gps action doesn't do anything. You need to switch location mode. Such as by using AutoTools.
AutoTools Secure Settings [ Configuration:Location Mode: HighAccuracy Timeout (Seconds):60 ]
I would go with Autotools to do this.
I have a large house on a farm. I have 5 wifi networks. 4 are in the house. There are two routers. Each has a 2.4GHz network and a 5GHz network. I also have a line going out to my shop from one of these routers. The line feeds an access point.
I want to make a task that QUICKLY switches to the strongest network of the 5. Id like the task to trigger when I get home from work. I thought these phones could sense wifi networks they are familiar with even when wifi was off. Can I tap into this somehow to trigger the task? I have tried auto connect and the task described in this YouTube video(https://youtu.be/5Y0csfH4h_g). This seems to work partially and sporadically. It's the best I have had. I have been chasing this one since I got this phone in November. If someone can figure this out we need to post it all over the internet! It seems like most of these are designed for switching between 2 networks, but don't work well when having to pick from multiple networks like in my scenario. There have been a couple other plugins mentioned such as this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ultimatesoftware.nw.SSIDSelector&hl=en. This hasn't been updated in years though, and the developer never replied when I emailed him. Someone please help.

I recently found a tutorial on how to use Tasker to take voice notes to save it to Google Sheets. I'm trying to make a different project that involves adding (and possibly renaming) new sheets to an existing SpreadSheet. I've tried everything possible (with my limited knowledge, of course) to get it to work after reading Google's documentation. But nothing has worked. Can anyone tell what I might be doing wrong.

You can try in a different way. I am not sure if it is possible or not. But you can try google apps script.
read doPost or doGet function of apps script and SpreadsheetApp guide. there is quota limit. So do a google search first. and you can read this also https://stackoverflow.com/questions...et-in-a-google-sheets-with-google-apps-script
