Add actin inside an app - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hi everybody,
With tasker, is there a way once you have made a task asking to open an app, to select other things within this app ( like lighting some lights in the apartment if it is a light application) ?
Thank you in advance for your answers and have a nice evening

If the app has intentions you can trigger those from within tasker. If the only choice is to automate in-app button presses, the *easiest* way to do that (IMHO) is through AutoTool's AutoInput plugin for tasker.

Thank you very much for answering I am going to try autotools.
Thank you again and have a nice evening

Hum, I installed autotools, but everything seems to be so complicated to me. In tasker, I selected the plugin autotool, in the list, no imho seen, and searching which to choose, did not find it, even after having searched tutos. Any help in which to choose please? Thank you.

Here is a sample of what I would like to automate.
Could you please tell me how to do it in autotools?
Thanks a lot.

1) Create a task who's first action is to open the app.
2) Add an AutoInput action ( -> plugin -> AutoInput -> Action)
3a) Configure the action. An easy way of doing this is to use the helper entitled "Easy Setup". Tap it and follow the instructions.
3b) To configure manually:
Tap "action" then select click. Tap "field type" and select text. The "field text" will become active, select it. Enter the term for the choice you want selected.
Save the configuration then test the task.

Thank you very much, really kind you, will let you know how it goes.

Morning.
Well, step one is working perfectly, but tried step 2, with autoinput....and touchtask, but for some reason, it does not click where I want on the opened program. I also tried to set up manually, (instead of easy set up), without success. I also tried text option, or x y numbers, but it doesn't change anything.
Any idea please? Thank you.

Make a video of how you are trying to set up AutoInput in Tasker, and then test your task (with only a single press). It is worth enabling "show touches" on Developer Options if AutoInput touches are not recorded with your screen recorder.
The video needs to include:
- Start in Tasker from a task that has only one action: Open desired app
- Add one new action for AutoInput, use easy set up and navigate to where you want your press to be, bring th catalogue option on etc.
- Save and exit tasker
- Open tasker and test your action

Below, you will find two videos the first one is the creation of the task the second one is the playback of the task.
attached you will find the task that I really made including pauses to prevent adverse bets it does not change anything in the end it is not working, stopping after the opening of the application.
Awaiting for your advices I thank you very much again.

Yes, the pauses are a good choice.
Ok, the first video seems fine.
In the second video, it is clear that there is an error from the TouchTask plugin. The task finishes with that error, even before the app Harmony is open.
What version of Google App are you using?
Thins to try:
- Try to open TouchTask and close it again. Then go to System > Apps and clear the cache for TouchTask. Try your task again.
- You can also try to uninstall and re-install TouchTask.
- Try to use co-ordinates instead of text, just to see if that works (I suspect not)
Are you having similar problems with other plugins? If you have same with AutoInput, it might be related to your Google App version (which I think is the cause here). How about other plugins?
You might need to check your log to catch these messages btw.

Thanks again for your help.
So, removing the app and installing it again through Google play made it find the reason why it was not working: some authorizations were probably not properly set and I could not set them while installing the app! I could not press the okay button allowing it. it was another app that I removed which was the problem! once this other app removed I was able to allow permissions to touchtask.
I need to test some other tasks but it seems to be working from now, thank you very very much again.
I have a little strange thing in the end though I added a function to kill the app touchtask is using to apply the task which it does kill, but right after this it starts again the whole task from the beginning and stops again once the app is open and before touchtask acts. All action stops here with the app remaining open.
in other words the task is working the first time perfectly well then in the end when the final app is killed, the task is starting again and stops in the middle before the touchtask action. Any idea on this please?
Once again thank you very much.

I am glad you are getting this sorted. : )
Sorry, no I don't know why this is happening. Are there any error messages second time around? Can you see anything on the logs?
I would strongly suggest to you though, not to kill the app but rather find a way to stop/exit.
It wouldn't be surprising if this erratic behavior is caused by the killing of the app.

[GUIDE][Difficulty: Beginner] Enable 'Smart Lock' on Bluetooth LE devices

Android 5.0 Lollipop added the ability to keep your device unlocked so long as you stay connected to a trusted bluetooth device. Dubbed "Smart Lock", the feature is quite useful if you own a smart wearable that you keep on you at all times. However, Smart Lock is unavailable for devices that connect to your phone via Bluetooth Low Energy. Some manufacturers offer the ability to simulate Smart Lock through keeping their app on in the background (such as Xiaomi's Mi Band and the Mi Fit app), but others do not.
If you, for instance, own a basic Fitbit or one of the new Honor Z1 bands among others, then you'll be able to keep your phone unlocked so long as your wearable is in range of your phone by following this Tasker guide.
Prerequisites
Secure Settings plug-in
Bluetooth 4.0 LE enabled device
A Bluetooth LE Scanner app
Instructions
Ensure that Secure Settings is set as a Device Administrator by opening the app and going to the Preferences screen. This is so the plugin has the ability to enable/disable the lockscreen.
Bring your phone and your device close together. Open the BLE Scanner app you downloaded above, and press SCAN.
Write down the MAC ID of the device that shows up at the top of the list. This should be the address of the Fitbit or other wearable, in case the name doesn't properly populate.
Click + to create a new Profile and name it "Watch Near" or anything else you want.
Select the State context, then select "BT Near" under "Net."
Once you're in the BT Near setting, type in the Bluetooth Address that you wrote down earlier under "Address." Additionally, select "Low-Energy (LE) Devices" and "Unpaired Devices". Leave everything else unchecked and/or default.
Press the back key to save and exit the context setup.
Tasker will now ask you to set up a new task associated with this context. Click on "New Task" and optionally give the task a name. Before we move on, here's a picture of what the context screen should look like.
{
"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"
}
Now that you've got the context set-up, we're going to make a simple entry and exit task to correspond to when your phone connects/disconnects to your smart wearable.
Plugin --> Secure Settings. Under the Dev Admin Actions dropdown, select Password/Pin. Make sure that the box is set as "DISABLED" and that Device Admin Enabled is checked. Press the save icon up top to exit, then press the back key once you're back in Tasker.
Press back once more to exit the task creation. Now expand the Profile you just created by tapping on its name. Long-press on the Task that launches, the select "Add Exit Task."
Within this new task, you're going to do the opposite of what you did above. Plugin --> Secure Settings. Select Password/Pin under Dev Admin Actions again, but this time change the box to "ENABLED" and set up the password or pin code that you desire. Exit out all the way after you're done.
That's it! Your phone should now automatically disable the pin/password when your bluetooth device is in range, otherwise it will re-enabled it. You can expand the power of this task by adding some alerts for when your device and phone disconnects, the choice is up to you!
Does it work only with bt le?

Smart Lock already works with regular bluetooth devices out of the box, so I wouldn't recommend using Tasker for that. But yes, if you put in the Bluetooth MAC ID into Tasker it will work the same way.
Does not work with my meizu pro5 and Xiaomi mi band 1s (Android 5.1.1)
Still I need to put my finger on finger scanner or putting the pin code to unlock the device
Will it break the device protection and the encryption
This is great thanks, I am using this with a cheap Bluetooth tracker keyring I got from eBay for 99p.
Edit
I need to test this a little more with the tag. The tag seems to power its self off which means it doesn't then trigger BT Near.
Where is the Secure Settings plug-in? There is an app of that name, by intangibleObject - is that what you mean?

The Secure Settings Plugin is in an app called "Tasker".
However, having setup this instructions it seems to me that Secure Settings or TAsker never triggers a lockscreen/password protection to be active. What is your default state ? OS Version ? Do you have any initial password options enabled ?

I haven't had time to try it yet - I am on Marshmallow and have a BT LE step counter to test it with, when I have a chance.
Please Do. It works but somehow Timing of tasker to Check connection is not really good
This can be accomplished using the delayed lock app in conjunction with the Tasker plugin without having to use secure settings

How to enter username & password for connecting to WiFi network in office?

Hi,
Kindly help me to automate this task using Tasker.
I am using Oneplus 3 with CM14.1. I have already created a task which automatically enables Wifi whenever I am near to home or office (using Cella near). That is working fine.
In my office, whenever we connect to WiFi, it is showing a notification asking to enter username and password. I have to enter the username and password every time when I disconnect and reconnect.
How can I automate this authentication process using Tasker?
These are the screenshots :-

I guess AutoInput can do this. Save your user name and password to a file on your phone. Let Tasker pull this information and AutoInput put it in there. That is what I would try to do.

Downloaded and tried. Not able to create tasks as required. I am looking for steps by step instructions.
I can't get AutoInput to work either.
But if you are rooted you can use just tasker. Then you dont have to install an extra app.
To do so create a task and add a Run Shell.
Check the button Use Root and under command you add:
Code:
input tap x y
input text login-name
input tap x y
input text login-password
input tap x y
With x and y being the coordinates of the fields where you tap. If you need to figure out these you can turn on pointer position under developer options.
That should work.
But remember that your password will be readable by anybody with access to your phone. Maybe you should lock tasker with a pin code, although that adds just a tiny bit of security.

Thanks for reply. I guess, it works. I would like to know how to open web login page as soon as I connect to wireless network. Usually a notification appears as soon as I connect to wifi then I have to open the web login page from notification bar. How do I automate this as well?
Maybe AutoInput can help you. When the notification arrived AutoInput tap it and open the browser for you.

Sorry kinda thought there would appear a popup window.
If you click on the notification and it opens in the browser, is there a link you could enter manually?
If so you could add another action to open the link. Use Net-> Browse URL to open the link and then do as I said before.
If there is no link you could add Display->Status Bar and select expanded. This will open your notification drawer and with another input tap you could select the notification. But that is getting kinda complicated , if the notification isn't always in the same place...
Kinda hard to figure out a good way, without being able to test it so maybe you have to tweak it a little.

Will it perform the same action as a shell command or will it just open the link, without the need to emulate the swipe and click?
I am not sure how she'll comands works. I never used it. AutoInput will simulate the klick. Swiping are only available at Android 7 when I remember right. But the Klick on the notification opens the browser right? If so then you can have the login information stored in a file and copy and past it with AutoInput in. Then Klick login with AutoInput and you are done.

The shell just pretends that the user tapped at the given coordinates, so the display has to be on and you can watch your device doing things. So I would guess AutoInput does the same, but without the need for root...

[APP][5.0+][Alpha] TaskerAuto - Run Tasker Tasks from Android Auto

TaskerAuto
TaskerAuto allows you to run Tasker tasks from your headunit. That's pretty much it.
I have some home automation gear at home and wanted to open my garage door from the headunit. I already had a Tasker task to do it, so why not be able to run any task from Android Auto?
If you use something like Home Assistant, it means you can do basically anything with your home automation from your car.
How to use:
1. Open TaskerAuto on your phone and select which tasks you want to be available in-car.
2. Have developer mode enabled in Android Auto.
3. Click on the little gauge icon in Auto (on far right) and select TaskerAuto.
4. Your list of tasks should appear. Clicking a task will run it.
Thanks to Emil Borconi from this thread for helping me get the app to run in the last tab.
EDIT: For some reason I can't attach files. Google Drive Link. Puu.sh Mirror
Great idea!
I'll check it. :good:
However, I have another "complementary" idea: Use some Bluetooth hot number in the phonebook for triggering Tasker actions. With this you can also trigger the same actions "dialing" the code... Useful when the AA is not running.
If you like to include also this other function, please contact with me (I have one indirect mode to do it).

Hi!
I use other tools compatible with Tasker. It's this App working as a Tasker plug-in, or it can only work with Tasker?
I ask this because I don't see anything when I open this App.
Thanks for the idea, and sorry it's not working for you =(
I'm using the query described here:
tasker.dinglisch.net/contentprovider.html
to retrieve the list of tasks. So it's not really running as a plugin, and it may only work with Tasker.

OK, thank you for sharing it.
One suggestion: You like to incorporate an alternative mode to trigger actions? For example sending a broadcast EVENT or similar? For example, see the documentation of Tasker plugins: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/plugins-intro.html
One option is create a "Event Plugin" and add to your App a list of actions (Action1, Action2, etc.), then any user can link these actions to Tasker Events in any compatible App.
For example, try these two free Apps compatible with Tasket plugins:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bartat.android.robot
You agree?

Automatically change the colors of the task list with day/night time. During the night the white is extremely bright on the screen.

Hi Pierreken,
Thank you vey much for your help.
All is ok now. I can use this useful app.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks fot the app.
But after the last Android auto update.. it's not longer showing under the shortcut, instead shows an app list for AA.
Thank you and sorry for my english
I found android auto (official not available in the netherlands, but got apk mirror), understanding you can build plugins for it... thats how i found this tread. Sounds like a great plugin.
Toke a while until i found out how to enable developer mode for android auto in the newest version.
https://developer.android.com/training/auto/testing/index.html#phone
so.. you have to tab the header 10 times in the about screen before the menu option is available.
however now thats done.. tasker is open.. task is selected in the app... but no option/plugin/shortcut is available inside the dashboard of android auto. Is it only available on the screen of your car, or should it also be available on your phone display (i only have the last one).
Or is the plugin not working with the most recent version of android auto?
I want to run a navigation program in phone, and then run android auto mirroring code, so to have one android auto shortcut to make both..
Can i do this somehow with this?
Thanks,

Is there any optimizations to the camera? (low light, shutter speed, noise reduction, bokeh effect on subject edges in the wide aperture mode)
Did they add a 16:9 ratio to the 12mpx and 20mpx resolutions?
The bokeh effect on the front facing camera, did they improve it?
Did they add an option to control the notification volume separately?
Is there an option for changing icons shapes like on the pixel?
And finally Battery life better or worse?

Hello , for me the camera has been optimized, there are more details and contrast especially at night.
The protrait mode and bokeh is better manage.
16: 9 mode is not available for 12 and 20 mpx.
There is no option to separate the notification volume for each application (if that's my understanding).
There is no option to change the shape of the icons.
And finally the battery is worse than the previous version, knowing that I participated in the beta of android oreo and the battery was better than now with the final version B360.

Thank you for your reply! So about the notifications volume, I mean is it possible to control the volume for ringtones and notifications separately? Currently in Nougat they are merged together, because in many other devices you can actually for example have your ringtone volume at 100% and notifications volume at 20% but here in EMUI you can't do that so changing the volume will apply to both ringtones and notifications.
As for the battery life, I saw that many people reported that it's great and even better than Nougat, so maybe you have to do a factory reset.
Also you are you aware of the screen dim bug? Currently in Nougat if you switch between some apps especially a browser, the brightness will go darker even if you set it to manual, so I hope it gets fixed with Oreo.

Yes indeed it is possible only when to receive a notification ..!
As for the battery i have already done a reset and it's not better. As for the bug with the screen, I did not notice anything about it.
In general the update has improved the fluidity of the interface and the phone takes better pictures

The quality is very good especially with the raw mode, the video quality is also more stable than before. The quality in 4K or 1080/60fps is stable, you must not move too much.

Still on B173
Im VTR-L09C432B179, eagerly waiting for oreo too
You need a version B185 to go to Oreo

For changing volume for both Ringtone & Notifications, I use an application called Volume Control +.
This app allows you to edit your volumes. Unfortunately when you first open the application your notification and ringtones are still joined together, but this is simply sorted by going to the in-app settings and toggling the separate the ringer and notification volume.
Edit: You will have to edit your volumes in the app, but if you would rather have seoerate volume levels, like me - you'll get use to it.
I'm eager too I'm on B162, brand new from argos unlocked and on 3 network. I really happy with the phone but hate the 13 hour battery life. What do you get out of it?
Wondering the same....
With Oreo I got the DIMMING issue especially when in bright conditions like outside. Another issue is Bluetooth music where the music info is showing the former titel on the Playlist after song change. Anyone else with the Bluetooth issue? Else the battery was better in Oreo. Now I have rolled back to Nougat because I often play music in my car using Bluetooth.
Another strange thing is when exiting an app sometimes the homescreen icons come back very slowly.
Can't find anywhere if there are bug fixes yet.

Tasker - Reading Mode (OnePlus 6) Time triggered

Hey community,
I recently bought the OP6 and discovered the reading mode. Unfortunately it was not possible for me to time trigger the reading mode like the night mode. (Just by opening predefined apps).
So I made some research and found the TASKER App with which U thought I could handle this issue. Unfortunately I couldn't make a task run. The reading mode was not detected by TASKER and so I instead the plug-in AUTO-TOOLS. I tried to make a secure setting to automatically identify the reading mode in TASKER.
This didn't work. Now I need your support to find a solution, how to make a time trigger for enabling and disabling the reading mode on the OnePlus 6.
Thanks for your help in advance.

I don't have a OP device so I'm not positive, but I think the setting is managed through the system settings. You would have to find the correct setting but I think it's something like "reading_mode_status".
Look through Not Enough Tech's [URL="http://35.188.28.166/tasker/tasker-run-shell-commands/" ]Best run shell commands in Tasker[/URL] post. You'll be looking through system settings.

You can use Custom setting to find which option to toggle.
And I attach screenshot for you (I've tested in Oneplus 5T)

Thanks for the quick response,
unfortunately your variable is for the night mode and not for the reading mode. Tasker wasn't able to identify the right variable for the reading mode itself.
Hopefully we can find out the right variable for the reading mode.
Thanks for your efforts by now.

Hi,
I tried it out immediately, but my OP6 phone shows an error message and doesn't toggle the reading mode.

Hi,
Good hint, but unfortunately a new error message occurs.
Please find it below:
"06.14.05/E Custom Setting: ->
06.14.05/E Custom Setting: Can't change this system setting. Check notification.

No notification pops upby the way.
But I also didn't found a possibility to put in the value 1 or 0. Just entered =:=toggle=:= into the value field

Did you give all permission Tasker required? looks like it can't change system setting because of that.

Yes I did. Couldn't find a way to change it afterwards. But I remember that I have all the permissions and as well had some USB debugging/ADB-permissions I gave to TASKER right after installing.
All the best,

Then maybe you need to contact Tasker developer and submit the log to him.. see if he can solve it or not.
solution?
setting `reading_mode_status` to 1 AND `reading_mode_status_manual` to 1 (in either order) seems to work for me (as the task).
I wanted to be in reading mode always (since I'm trying to use my phone less and seeing the screen in B&W helps with that apparently)
If there someone who wants to do that too, I set 3 profiles:
1. Display unlocked
2. Display on
3. Device boot
all with the same task as above.
