So, I searhed and the only thing that pops up about this is about a year old.
MyQ makes chamberlain and liftmaster garage door openers open by using their app on your smarthphone.
What I would like to do is create a task that triggers based off my proximity (location) to arriving home for my garage to automatically open.
I see that people were able to achieve something to this affect a year ago, but it seems that myQ has locked down this functionality.
Can anyone elaborate or help with a solution to this? I would be fine with using my android smartwatch to trigger a tasker profile too.
Thanks in Advance!

I have been using Tasker with MyQ for my watch and shortcuts and it had been working great until someone at MyQ decided to disable that function. Now they figured they can make a buck by charging you for that function. I haven't came across any work arounds yet but if you or anyone else know of a way to get Tasker to work with MyQ again. Please let us know.
Why not just revert to an older version of the app? If version 3.83 is old enough, then it's available on apkmirror.com. Make sure to turn off auto updates for the app in the play store.

i may be wrong, but i think they actually setup the paywall by when you hit their server to login with your credentials... So I don't "think" an older version of the app would help. (i could be wrong)?
I take it then that this works by your logging into their server which then sends a packet to the opener via the internet?
Can you sniff the network and grab what the command is the opener is looking for, then mimic that directly to the opener?

Guys,
Can anyone please help me. I want to use Tasker to do the following.
1. On connection to WiFi
2. Open Google Play Services
3. Force Stop
4. Return to homescreen
Its a long story about why I want to do this so wont go into it. But there is a reason.
Can anyone please help?
Thanks
EDIT:
Sorry, haven't read the reason part >.<
I absolutely want it to restart itself! Like I say there is a reason I want/need to do this. Currently I am manually doing this every time the head unit connects to the wifi hotspot. I just want to automate it.
Thank you

Use the AutoInput plugin or use a run shell with the command "input tap 270 230". The 270 230 are the x,y coordinates of the tap location.
You'll just have to "tap" your way to what you want.

Hi,
I am wondering if there is any way to toggle wifi calling setting on certain conditions.
I can't find any thing like that in the tasker app.
I am using Samsung note 8 with oreo.
Thanks.
There used to be an app or two in the play store that were plug-ins for tasker to help with this. They seem to be gone though.
I'm not aware of an intent (maybe it would be carrier specific and not excluded via intents?).
So that kinda leaves auto input as the defacto solution.

Has anyone been successful in controlling NextRadio with Tasker?
I'm using NextRadio in an in-dash Android device and what I want is to be able to launch NextRadio and play the first saved favorite...
*shameless self bump*
Anyone? Bueller?
There needs to be some hook for tasker to connect to. Such as an API provided by the app, or intents (look in the apps manifest file).
You might look at Intent Radio.
There is more information at Stephen Blott's blog.

This looked like it was going to work perfectly, but, apparently the radio station I want, doesn't have a PLS or an m3u associated with it. I'm not sure how the other streaming radio providers access it...
I had some success using a direct link (http://208.92.55.38/WCTKAAC_SC), but it took several (almost 45 seconds) to start playing, where the webplayer starts immediately...
Hello,
I discovered Tasker and thanks to tutorials, I managed to reach my first goal: send an SMS indicating my position directly on Google Maps.
Question security, it's great when traveling alone on a hike.
Now, I have a very theoretical goal that I can not reach: how to automatically send this position at regular time intervals? In other words, how to follow a mobile in his move?
Thanks in advance to the tasker experts who will enlighten me.

Just put a "wait" action for however many minutes between updates then a "go-to" back to the start (or wherever the location point is in your task).

I agree that this advice is better on battery. If you want to run this activity on battery power (not plugged in) for an extended period of time, then maybe use a shortcut to toggle the profile on/off unless you want this information available 100% of the time.

However, I'm a new user of Tasker and what you propose about a shortcut looks like chinese for me. But I will study this recommandation

How are you currently causing the task to run?
Maybe it is time based, such as between 5-6 pm during your commute home? Does it run when ever you open a specific app?

Soory, I'm a bit late to answer.
My question was theorical because I do not have the immediate need for a solution.
I am interested in answering two cases of concern.
That of parents whose children are alone outside and that of children whose parents are old and, for some, likely to go astray when they leave alone.
A tranquillizing solution would be to press the key that triggers the tracking of the position every n minutes and simply put the mobile phone in the pocket of the child or the elderly person. Upon his return, stop the tasker.
This is a use case where toggling a variable to initiate the location mode makes sense. Then the profile triggers on two contexts, when the variable is set and a time context every x- minutes.

Hello,
How can I have Tasker turn on Bluetooth whenever I'm in motion?
I have a connected vehicle and whenever I leaving work, home, shipping etc., I would like Tasker to turn Bluetooth on and when I'm not in motion for more than 10 minutes turn Bluetooth off.
Any assistance is appreciated.
Micheao
If you really v want this to be motion sensing, then I suggest the AutoLocation plug-in. It does required GPS to be on for most precision/accuracy. Additionally, your location will be constantly monitored so you're going to be draining the battery.
If this is too turn on Bluetooth to connect to the car radio and turn off when you've left the car, then I'd be using the Bluetooth near context.

Yes, I want it to be motion sensing using the GPS and battery is not a problem. Is it a limitation with Tasker that makes it impossible to do?

Tasker is a framework first. Plugins add features that not all users will want. This method of using plugins helps keep the core app under control from a maintenance and size point of view.
You can create a task that gets your location, then gets a second location, compare those results and determine if the device is moving. Read Tasker's online documentation: location without tears.

So what have you tried since the last post 2 weeks ago? How about you post your profile and indicate what's not working.
To do that, make sure it's named - not a default name assigned by tasker. Then long press on the name to highlight the profile. Go to the 3-dot menu and select export -> Description to Clipboard.
Then you'll be able to paste it. Be aware, it easier to use pastebin then link to a post here. If you paste in a post here, the forum software will convert all semicolons with characters after, typically "on" and "off" to emoticons making it very hard to read.
