Hello Guys,
New to this website. Need help with Profiles in Tasker. I have 2 profiles set up one to Power on Off my PC and the other Profile turns the lounge light on and off. When I ask Google Home to either turn on/Off the PC or turn on/off the light both profiles run together. How do I separate both profiles to run independently in Tasker. I have only started using these apps so I am a complete novice. I set up IFTTT and Google assist to set up the Google Home command and Join to trigger the commands also use Unfied remote and RM Plugins in Tasker.....Thanks for any help.

Ok Guys managed to sort it myself.....In the Tasker Trigger Join Received Push etc under Text ...(Make profile trigger based on the received text). I just put ...switch=:= for the PC On Off , and for the lounge lights I use turn=:= . So the when I ask Google Home to "turn on lounge light" it does it independently and dosen't run the WOL to power on the PC as well.
Also you need to update the join url with the (switch) word trigger and paste it into the IFTTT applet for the turn on/off PC commands. Hope this helps someone else or if theres a better way to do it please tell.

Hey guys,
I made a task when i go home and connect to wi-fi to start playing music (and some other stuffs but thats not important) on my pc using unified remote plug-in. The problem is when i quit my home and im disconnected from the wi-fi i cannot use unified remote to stop the music because its loosing connection to the server. Any ideas what to trigger it off? The idea is to stop it when i leave home, but don't know what else to use instead of wi-fi off. GPS and celluar towers are even worse because will trigger it when i'm even further away, and the same problem - server will be disconnected.
Any ideas ?

A very long way around, but Dropbox maybe?
Have Tasker write something to a text file in Dropbox, auto sync it, then use something like autohotkey to monitor newly synced file on pc and act accordingly.
Like I said, a very long way!
I also wonder if IFTTT can trigger unified remote in your case...
If you use Spotify you can configurate Autoinput. If you use another app, you can check the JOIN by Joao apps for info and how to do that. Let me know if you need something else

The join app will let you send commands to your computer, so this is really simple with join. However, you can setup your unified remote to send a command to your ip address. (Dynamic dns is your friend) and the command is just the key seq you want.
Don't use the unified built in plugin for this. Using the tasker built in "browse url" action to browse the following url will send the command
ur://intent/remote:Core.Keyboard/action: text/extra: %text2type/destination: %devic

Device Settings Menu Guide, Tips & Discussions
Part 1 - Connections
If you're new to this series or want to see the index, please read Post #2 first.
The post has been updated as per the settings menu in latest Pie update.[/CENTER]
Wifi
Click on any network:
View supported Network speed, allocated IP address, gateway IP.
Toggle 'Auto Reconnect' to allow/disallow device to connect automatically to the network if it's in range.
Hold on any network > Manage network settings > Advanced > Set Static IP and DNS; Set Proxy;
Wifi Direct: Turn on Wifi Direct on a nearby device as well to transfer files wirelessly and fastly (speed up to gateway supported speed).
Menu > Advanced:
Turn on Wi-Fi Automatically: Your device will automatically enable Wi-Fi where you use it frequently. For example, you can disable your WiFi when you go out and you won't need to enable it again when you get back home. Tasker handles this job for me (try IFTTT for simpler setup).
Wi-Fi power saving mode: (On Pie, hop to developer mode) Analyzes your usage pattern and accordingly toggles WiFi. For example, if you get WhatsApp messages every 30 minutes on an average, the device learns about this traffic pattern and can toggle WiFi accordingly to fetch notifications every 30 minutes or whatsoever period is calculated. I keep this disabled as my usage pattern, like most of you, is dynamic. Better use App Sleep or Hibernation Apps like Greenify to save battery. Learn more about this mode here.
Wi-Fi control history: View apps that have toggled Wi-Fi recently. You can figure out if there's any culprit app that is toggling your Wi-Fi frequently when you have explicitly turned it off/on.
Hotspot 2.0: Automatically connects to APs that support Hotspot 2.0 or 802.11u. Network providers are themselves upgrading existing WiFi in public areas like airports and encryption is a must for Hotspot 2.0 so you can trust and rely on it while you don't have to manually guess the right network. Learn more about Hotspot 2.0 here.
WPS push button; WPS PIN Entry: (Pie doesn't support WPS but Google says it's coming back, Read here) Connect the device to WiFi by pushing WPS button on the router or entering WPS PIN in case these are enabled on the router. Learn about WPS here.
Install network certificates: Normally not needed. Some organization would need you to install certificates to access their domains. Same as what you do on PC to install certificates.
View device's MAC address and allocated IPv6/IPv4. Learn about MAC and IPs here.
Bluetooth
When the Bluetooth is ON, you can STOP/SCAN for nearby devices manually. Keep BT on for playing with following settings.
Menu > Advanced:
Dual Audio: Enables your device to connect to 2 different audio devices and play the same audio on both of them. Samsung explains this here.
Media volume sync: In case the connected audio device supports this, you can change the player's volume by your device's volume rockers by enabling this i.e. you don't have to manually raise the volume to the fullest on both your device and the connected player to get the highest volume possible for your house party.
Ringtone sync: Suggest usage?
Bluetooth control history: Similar as 'WiFi control history' above.
Phone visibility: (Moved to Separate section after Bluetooth in Pie, please tell if it works for BT as well) Allow devices (with Samsung Connect) to find your device for connection. You can disable it unless you live in a Smart Home or transfer files from other devices more often. Learn more about this mode here.
NFC and payment
It's turned ON by default on a new phone so do turn it OFF first. Samsung Pay will turn that ON if needed. The best thing about Samsung's flagship - Samsung Pay uses both NFC and MST (no other brand can do this) for payments. In case you don't know about MST (patented by LoopPay), must read here. MST works everywhere so I've keep NFC disabled.
Android Beam: Allows you to share stuff when you tap your phone with some other-phone-with-already-enabled-NFC.
Tap and pay: Select the default app for Payments and Others. Your default app will open up when you, for instance, tap your phone on an NFC-enabled POS (of course you need NFC to remain ON beforehand). Change 'If open app supports Tap and Pay' to 'Use open app instead of Samsung Pay' in case you want the App's own NFC payment feature, for example, in ICICI's Pockets.
Default NFC Method: By default and normally needed, 'Auto select'. In case you are the curious breed, learn about the different options here.
Flight Mode
Disables your operator's network. Since enabling this will also disable WiFi and Bluetooth altogether, you can turn back these two on without toggling flight mode.
Mobile networks
Data roaming: Enable it if your carrier doesn't charge you for roaming or you're rich enough.
VoLTE calls Primary: You'll see this in case your carrier supports VoLTE calling. #JioWaale
Network mode: By default, 'auto connect'. You can play with the options in case you're facing network mode changing issues or want to save battery (put to 2G only).
Access Point Names: I recommend you to request or configure your operator's settings for the first time even if it had been automatically fetched.
Data usage
Data saver: Formerly known as 'Restrict background data'. Your background apps will stop using network data i.e. you'll receive WhatsApp notifications only when you open the app again. You can also whitelist apps in 'Allow app while Data saver on'. This feature can help a lot in saving battery or making you check the phone less when you're hanging out with your girl. Me no girl so no enable!
Mobile data usage; Billing cycle and data warning: Do check this in a while to review the apps that uses most of your mobile data (maybe you don't need those apps that much on mobile data); Change your operator billing cycle, set data warning and enable data limit in case your operator doesn't give you free GBs.
Wi-Fi data usage; Restrict networks: Like mobile data, you can also review your Wi-Fi usage. Do review it once in a while to identify data-hungry apps that can affect battery and CPU as well; 'Restrict networks' (not available in Pie) helps you define your WiFi networks as 'metered'. It can be useful in a situation where a WiFi network you use is in fact a hotspot running on a device that uses mobile data. You can now restrict apps to use background data as described before in 'Data Saver'.
SIM card manager
Select Icon, Name and Network mode (described above) for the corresponding 'SIM slot' (not the SIM). Select preferred slot for calls, messaging and data. Learn about Smart Dual SIM here.
Mobile Hotspot and Tethering
Mobile Hotspot:
Wi-Fi sharing: In addition to mobile data, you can also share your Wi-Fi. This can be helpful in case you don't want to reveal your network or its credentials or don't know about them.
Menu > Allowed Devices: Enter MAC addresses of clients you want only to connect to your hotspot. Same as MAC filtering in routers.
Menu > Configure Mobile Hotspot; Timeout: Enable 'Hide my device' to stop exposing your SSID. Use 'WPA2 PSK' (Learn about wireless encryption here). 'Power saving mode' is similar to PMS in WiFi Advanced. Keep PMF on by default and change in case client doesn't support; Keep timeout low so that hotspot turns itself OFF earlier in case there's no client or change to 'Never Timeout' if you are going to need it for some time.
Bluetooth tethering; USB tethering: Learn about BT/USB tethering here.
More connection settings
Nearby device scanning: Although it uses Bluetooth Low Energy, I don't live in a Smart Home so have it disabled. If you enable it, you get notifications for nearby devices like TVs that support connections through your device (will annoy you at airports).
Printing: Do download Google Cloud Print and any other printing plugin required by your or your organization's printer.
MirrorLink: Great feature but I don't own a car. Learn more here.
Download Booster: Uses both WiFi and LTE at the same time to download apps over 30MB from Play Store and Galaxy Apps. In case you want that app as soon as possible.
VPN: Configure your VPNs here in case you have. I use Psiphon. You can also manually configure profiles as you do on PC.
Ethernet: Yes, you can use wired connection on your device too. Discussions here.
Private DNS: Pie supports DNS over HTTP/TCP and I recommend reading about this here. I use 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com.
Series - Full Menu Guide Explained
Series - Device Settings Menu Guide
Hey XDA! I just got free from the initial setup of my Galaxy Note9. I don't know how many of you do this but I'm one of a kind that gives a considerable amount of time to explore every setting, feature and every single option whenever I get a new device or even when I factory reset the existing one. It's been years since I have started with this curiosity and I have never found an 'all-in-one' menu guide to explain each and every option in the device. Yes, you could also simply google the option you want to know about but how about compiling all of them in one guide? I don't know if this experiment would work or not but here's I am starting with this. I have spent the past three weeks taking out time whenever I could to compile this guide.
There are a couple of reasons I had decided upon to start with this series. Firstly, I want to help newbies (or even experienced) out there to explore and know about every feature or option your device could offer. I have seen many duplicate threads that are created every day to query fellow users even about an individual but unfamiliar option in the settings. I intend to do my bit to clear this clutter and help potential askers to get answers beforehand. Secondly, this guide could serve as a manual in case you want to find or get briefed about an option. You could then simply 'Find in a page' over the threads or simply use XDA's 'search in the thread' option to save your time. Thirdly, since I've broken the settings into different threads, this could help users engage and discuss over a particular device's super-menu and spread their knowledge, come up with new ideas and explore more of their devices. Fourthly, this series is not constrained to Note9 only. The settings on every Android device out there is similar and you would be able to find any common to your device settings here as well. Fifthly, since I have provided links and sources to some options, this can serve as directory map as well. Sixthly, this guide consists of tips for many options that you won't probably find normally.
This guide is intended and recommended to be read by anyone at least once. If you're reading a thread for the first, I recommend you to open up the corresponding settings in your phone and read the settings description in case there is. All the threads are arranged in the same order as the settings would come up. You could then simply read out my description of the same, my selected configuration and hyperlinks to some articles or videos in case you're the curious breed. This guide is strongly recommended after a fresh start. I want you all to give some time to explore each and every option your device can offer.
Hope this experiment lives up to the marks. Both criticism and appreciation are greatly needed and appreciated. Please comment.
I've tried to explain each option you could find by going deep into any setting. No matter whatever links I have provided, I will feel grateful if you want me to explain any feature more than I have done already. Please ask questions related to any settings. Do provide me suggestions and your take on my configuration. Please provide me with more guides and articles for a particular feature. I want to have the precious contribution of XDA members in this guide. Discussion over any feature, setting, your configuration, did-you-knows and anything else is greatly appreciated. This is a newbie-friendly place so don't hesitate to ask questions - besides the fellow XDA members, I'm always here for you.
Regards,
Paras Lehana

You have commented the same query on each of my parts. I have already answered you here where the similar discussion is already going on. Let's discuss there and keep this thread clean. Also, the 'why am I posting this' is already described in the Introductory Post.
Is there a way to toggle the "WiFi networks available" notification off?. It seems Samsung's removed this option from the advanced WiFi menu as well as grayed it out from the advanced notifications panel. Thanks.

I tried searching for this on the internet and found that a lot of users are annoyed by this. Did you try disabling Wi-Fi scanning in Connections > Location > Improve accuracy ? Do you even get notifications when your Wi-Fi is turned off? Next time you get this notification, long tap on the notification to know which system package/app is firing this notification. Try disabling it from there. And, can you post screenshot of "advanced notifications panel" where you're seeing grayed out option?
Can the settings menu be sorted alphabetically? in either lineage or stock roms
Problem with 192.168.100.1 address

HELP
I have nexus 7 2012 in which I have installed weather night dock and IP Webcam Pro. Though it is always plugged in (2.1 amp though it doesn't support fast charge) it uses more power than it can draw and restarts every second day. I just want to run IP Webcam Pro in daytime when I'm not home. To start IP Webcam we have to press 'Start Server' after launching the app.
Is there any way to automate this process with taster? I am a beginner and I appreciate any help or point to the right direction.
Thanks
This is pretty straightforward since IP Webcam Pro has Tasker integration. In a task, add a plugin -> IP Webcam action. In the action, tap the pencil icon on the configuration line to configure settings for the plugin. One of the options is to start the server.
Is there a way to start WCP without bringing it to foreground.
I am using it for my walltablets to activate the screen. Everytime I enabble WCP it interrupts my walltab frontend.
Hello, everyone!
I need some advice, how to enable remote management for remote desktop on MacBook?
And do I need to turn it off after use?
Hi! In order to Enable remote management you need: to go to System Preferences > Sharing on the Apple Menu;
Tick the Remote Management box to invoke a pop-up window where you can choose what you allow remote users to do on your device;
Make a list of users you want to allow access to your device. By default, it is set to All users, which means that anyone in your Wi-Fi network is allowed can request a remote connection.
Remote Management is recommended to be disabled after use, see here for details: https://www.helpwire.app/blog/mac-remote-management/
