About MindPush
MindPush, the latest innovation from JimmyGood Technology, creators of the leading online text message management portal CiiAll, is like nothing else on the market. As products such as Facebook and LinkedIn increasingly focus on contact between people who know each other, we realize that you want something more. With MindPush, you can:
- Connect with other MindPush users in your location, anonymously
- Share information as easily as sending a text, while limiting what others can see
- Interact with “like”, comments and other collaborative features
- Get the information you need about the places you like best, instantly
- Give users at your company or school the chance to communicate more effectively
- Learn more about your location via brief, digestible messages
How it works and what we need from YOU!
MindPush is a location based application – so you can see messages that have been posted within 1/2 mile of your current location at any given time. Users are able to leave anonymous messages, so other users can view and interact with them once they are in the same location. This interaction can happen in real-time, but users can also see past messages in their location up to 30 days. If another user is active within the 1/2 mile range, they will be shown on the user icon and Proximity map. This is to encourage users to post new messages and interact with not only their given material environment, but the people in that environment as well.
We need YOU to start leaving your anonymous messages and feedback everywhere you go! Imagine a future where you can go into any restaurant, bar, clothing store, sports venue, coffee shop, etc. and instantly get useful information from your peers using MindPush. Also imagine the power from being able to anonymously leave your feedback everywhere you go for other users to benefit from. MindPush can and will change the way we interact with our immediate surroundings…and with each other! Start leaving messages and connecting with the world around you today!

Feedback?
Has anyone tried this out yet? I would love to receive some feedback from the XDA community!
Thanks!
I tried it.. Good idea. Drains battery though im im gonna keep it and use it to see what its like. Does it only work in my area or can i use it to communicate with people outside of my city/state?
As of right now - you can only view messages and other users that are within 150 feet of your current location (we have/are considering making the range wider though...depends on initial download numbers and feedback). The messages will change depending on where you are located and what other users have posted in the area.
As for the battery drain - we realized that having your GPS location set while the app is running - and having the app call our servers to update the location of other users and various messages could be an issue for some as far as battery goes. Once you've logged into the app, press the menu button to access the battery drain slider. From there you can set the time interval for how often the app will call the server for updates which should help improve battery drain based on your preferences.
Thanks for the feedback and support! Please let me know if you have any other questions or suggestions. I really want this to be an app for the people and am more than willing to listen to how people are using the app and what could make it better! The iOS version was completed today and will be submitted to Apple for approval. Once that is done, you will be able to communicate cross platform and the numbers of users in each area should improve as the user base grows.
Update coming soon
We will be releasing an update soon to widen the range to 1/2 mile. Users will be able to view other messages up to 1/2 mile and see how many users are within 1/2 mile as well. This should really increase interaction between users and provide more information about cool things going on in your area! Let me know what you think.
Thanks

Thought I would start a thread for Apps Wanted, hoping some enterprising devs might see the list and pick some to try. Here is what I am thinking:
- Respond with App Name in the subject to this post
- Provide as much detail as possible here to provide a baseline of what you are looking for
- Add info such as any help you may be able to provide, or if you are willing to offer up cash or other incentives
- When/if there is an app to test you can provide a link
I will make sure to provide a list here of all of app requests so that we have an index file for reference:
- Pebble Smart Start: An app that will allow the user to start their vehicle remotely
- Pebble GeoCache: An app that provides simple geo-cache readout on the Pebble (Lat/Lon)

GPS for Geocache
Love the apps that are already there for navigation and sports links, but would love a basic GPS readout app that shows the following data:
Latitude
Longitude

Heading
Bearing
How about Google Glass App?
Not really a coder myself, but there was a Dailer app, which allowed users to search and call contacts by using T9 typing (with the 3 buttons on the right). I wonder if this would be possible with sending sms and typing with T9( we know Glance allows pre-set messages = so sending messages is possible)
Just a little something i wish was out there.

..or maybe it would just let you pick a top 5 or top 10 numbers to dial? then should be easier to scroll the list and pick the one you want to call
You could check my app - A countdown timer. Also, if anyone knows coding and wants to help me, PM me as i dont have a pebble
Link to the App- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2394856
A great app would be to be able to have your pebble turn off at scheduled times. May be harder to get it to turn on but at least this would save battery.

PebbleTracks
I'd love to have an Android/watchapp application which:
Can start/pause/stop MyTracks recording
Shows current time (in "status bar", top of the screen, small), current speed (big), travelled distance (like bike computer)
if possible, shows google maps map on the watch (just a nice-to-have thought)
if possible, longpress up/down could fire watchapp (PebbleDialer)
I'm a software engineer, who never developed for Android or Pebble, but i can contribute any work i can handle .

I have a few ideas for how you can do this...
1. Canvas app - create a calendar on google calendars with just their birthdays. On Canvas, create a watch face with a field that pulls data from a calendar and configure it to only pull from the birthday calendar.
2. Tasker and pebble notifier - with pebble notifier, you can send tasker notifications to your watch. With tasker, you can program it to notify you on certain days which are your friends' birthdays.
Thoughts?

Maybe this app fulfils your need, it displays simple Lat and Long of your current location:

Oi! Where's your phone?
Having lost phones in the past an app to vibrate the pebble if the BT connection drops for longer than a minute (maybe the duration could be configurable) would be useful.
Would probably need alarm style snooze and dismiss options so you could snooze it if you're out of range momentarily and dismiss it until the next reconnect if your phone battery has died or similar.
Something like this was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pebble so I was surprised to not find one already, I've seen a few phone apps doing the reverse and bleeping the phone when out of range but that doesn't help me realise my phone is missing it just annoys the thief into turning off the phone.
I'm not a coder beyond 10 print hello 20 goto 10 but if anyone else thinks something like this would be useful I'd happily beta test.
Thanks

I'd like a better stopwatch/alarm app.. Also a contact app that works better than the current one with the 3 button interface. I'd like to scroll by groups of letters, like top button is a to k, middle is l to s etc.. And then scroll through those letters.
I know this is a long shot, but having a torque plugin would be cool to show 2 or 3 preset dials like engine temp and maf values cause when I'm working on my Audi I like to monitor certain things but don't want to get my phone all greasy.

Yes, this exactly. I got my pebble a few days ago and I've been looking for something like this. There are already apps to ring the phone from the watch and even a notification on your phone if your watch gets disconnected but I would very much like the watch to vibrate if it gets disconnected instead of the phone
Doesn't the two "application types" of "audio" and "notifications" seem horribly limiting? I mean, I can envision a lot of cool ideas that dont fall into those categories but would still be ok on the road.
For example - if you can "proxy" access to the phone's Bluetooth connection - you could write a "dashboard extension" that uses a Bluetooth OBD II connector which is able to display a good deal of extra information on your Android Auto screen.
Anyone else feeling limited?
Google is working on other app types; The code shows a few presumably experimental.
Audio & notifications is just the start.
But Google is trying to be rigorous about ensuring no distraction, and that's part of why things are moving slowly. Google has never pre-approved apps before.
Yeah... so far the only documented APIs are for audio playback and messaging. There is another group to come, and that is vehicle info. Unfortunately the example apps I have seen are things like roadside assistance, service intervals, and the like.
I am hoping for more... something akin to Torque-like displays, but there is no info just what the new APIs are capable of. The existing ones seem to be pretty opaque.
While I like the Pioneer head unit, AA is kind of a wait and see process. It actually requires more interaction for calls and texts than my Moto X. And you will miss all your notifications outside of phone calls, Google Now, and texts. I had one from SmartThings that notified me if I left my garage door open. I had to rewrite that app to use texts instead.
Oddly enough, some Tasker stuff comes through. I have a text to speech task tied to a charging profile, and it still announces the charging status when connected.

Google wants to mine this data. Auto OEMs are tending to hold back.
Auto OEMs want to make money on the new technology, and not become "dumb pipes/terminals" for Google and Apple, and while the OEMs take all the risks of distracted driving lawsuits as Google and Apple are trying to do.
Hey everyone,
I'm trying to get an idea of how everyone uses tasker or how they want tasker to work for them. Let me know in a comment everything that you have tasker setup to do right now. Also, what tasks do you want but are unsure of how to create a profile for them?
How would I...get my phone to tell me the weather whenever I open my closet? I let the weather determine what I wear and usually I check the weather on my phone right before getting dressed. Would be nice to automate that!
I'm using Tasker for:
-auto-rotate the screen when I launch some apps
-switch off when I'm connected to specific Wi-Fis
-auto-sync my Google account every 2 hours (without night tome)
-auto-sync Google and weather information 30 minutes before my alarm in the morning
I made a tutorial how to do the last one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3277729

After looking into it quite a bit, I cannot find any way that a task could be triggered by opening your closet door. I don't know how to go about making this work that would be more efficient than just using Google Now.

I figured it out, Greenway. All I need is a SmartThings open/close sensor to monitor when I open my closet door. It uses magnets to do this. Then, I can have Tasker "listen" for the notification that my closet door has opened, and then it will tell me the weather. Heck yah!

This also can be done using a Z-wave door sensor + a Vera hub and the AutoVera plug-in for Tasker. AutoVera can monitor all your Z-wave devices in real time to trigger a Tasker task.
In this example, The tasker profile would be:
if the closet door status change from "closed" to "open" (AutoVera) between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m.,
And it would launch the task to say aloud the weather on your phone. Already explained how to get and use weather data in this post
I guess your SmartThings setup is working pretty much the same way
NFC tags

Off the top of my head, I would suggest NFC tags, they are cheep, and you could stick one on your closet door. I believe tasker has an auto NFC function now that will let you create a task based on a NFC scan.
I could be mistaken though.
I do know that you can get the "auto barcode" pluggin which will allow you to automate a task from a barcode scan - just stick a barcode on the door and scan it in the morning!
I'm actually working on creating a personal assistant app that could give you these kind of contextual updates - it pretty easy now with api.ai pluggins.

I didn't see your reply before I posted - yes that would be the ideal solution.
My basic tasks are
- silent when between midnight and 8am, if charger plugged in;
- silent during meetings
- launch Radardroid if connected to car BT
- send an automated Whatsapp saying "I'm driving, can't read messages, call me", if I am connected to my car BT and receive a message (using Whatstasker plugin). Yes I have teenage girls...
I have also automated a series of tasks for when I go out mountain-biking on my own:
scan NFC tag (using Trigger)
start Strava
send a Glympse by SMS to my wife, so she can find me if I do myself some serious damage in the middle of nowhere (using Autoinput to simulate keypresses since there are no intents to actually send the Glympse)
And the reverse when I get back:
scan a different NFC tag using Trigger
stop Strava
stop Glympse (using Autoinput again, as above)
send a Whatsapp to the missus, saying I'm home (using Whatstasker).

Yes, from the Profile page, hit the plus sign, then state, and in the filter area start to write calendar. click on calendar entry, and the 5th entry is "calendar".
Hit the search icon, and you can then choose the calendar from the calendars you currently have.
I use it for:
* Rotate screen for certain apps
*Play music when connected to certain Blutooth devices
* Change volume when connected to certain wifi connections.
I'd like to learn how to use it with AutoAlarm to configure my Lifx light.

how did u create this task . . . ."send an automated Whatsapp saying "I'm driving, can't read messages, call me", if I am connected to my car BT and receive a message (using Whatstasker plugin)"???
I would like , How I can use tasker with-in my Android phone using either my K9 mail client of the gmail apps .
First to check mail every certain mins , once a key word is search ( i.e. from my boss's email ) , takser use my Android phone's build-in SMS client to send myself an SMS.
Thank you very much.
Is it possible, that tasker would lower the priority of ongoing notifications on a condition (e.g. location), so that notification will run, but hides from lockscreen and showing only, if phone is unlocked (and rise after location change)?
i want to use tasker for spying...all activities sms,calls,open applications,locations,call recordings etc forwarded to me on my number/cloud etc with no traces there in their mobile. is it possible with no traces?
Auto reset Mobile Data Cycle on fresh purchase of data.
I know that Android automatically updates the data cycle every thirty one days.
However my carrier only allows a 28 day monthly data plan. Moreover if I do run out of data before that, the system does not account for it. This causes problems for my data cap management unless I manually reset it myself.
Now I think I have one half of it down. After each data plan purchase the carrier sends an sms conformation. I've set up a profile that is triggered when it reads the first half of the confirmation message from the carrier. I cannot however, find the necessary action to reset the data cycle.
Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you for putting up this thread.
taking pictures by fingerprint? this would be awesome
Diceware
I want to run a Diceware password generator from within Tasker. This could read from a Google Sheet, or from an internal file, or could have all the words stored in Tasker. I'm not exactly sure how to build it in Tasker. I can make a Google Sheet that will use a pseudo-random number generator to choose the values that will be used to select the words from the Diceware list.
Any ideas?
My dream would be picking up the phone from say desk unlocks the screen.
As far as I know it's a no go. Shame...
Evening All,
I have tasker running on a Madcatz Mojo (Tegra 3 Android Box). It "runs" my "smarthome" quite nicely. I mainly communicate between phones and android TV using auto remote (to set variables and help trigger events). However as my wife is not as tech savy as I, I use pushbullet for her needs. We have simple commands like "Did I leave any windows open", or "Where did I park my car". Which is great but I can't get it to work for a specific person (ie works for anyone who messages the box). Which is a bit of a security hole really. My "house's" gmail account is unknown to others but I still don't like anyone being able to send the trigger phrases and know where my car is or if my windows are open etc. Futher to this I want to run it off a group chat, between myself, my wife and the house. This way if my mrs doesn't trigger something correctly, rather than her being fustrated, I can quickly say "You gotta type Where IS my car not Where's my car" (as an example).
So what I'm looking for is a chat app that I can install on the mojo and our phones that tasker can use to set variables and check identity, as well as having a group chat. I saw Join might be an option however it's paid and I would prefer to go with a free option if possible.
If Join is my only option can anyone confirm it can do what I require?
I am a Join user and know it can send commands to Tasker. You can pair multiple devices to Join - so you can then send a command to your box from it from the web or anywhere else you want (It uses your Google Account Login).
Join's programmer also makes a great suite of apps called AutoApps that can greatly enhance your possibilities. Autonotification for example, lets you intercept notifications and have Tasker react accordingly. He also has some other apps which give voice control which Tasker can respond to for more Smart Home Automation fun.
What's wrong with the pushbullet solution, if I may ask? It is kinda like a private chat between your wife, your "house" and yourself PLUS it has native tasker support built-in. Seems like this fits all your needs, doesn't it? Correct me if I'm missing something.
Apart from this, you may want to look into AirTask. I did not try it (yet), but it seems to be a solution for connecting different devices. (It's surely not a chat app, though.)
