Toggle "wifi calling" - Tasker Tips & Tricks

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.

Integrate MyQ with Tasker

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?

You mean do a packet capture with wireshark? I can give it a try

activating WiFi calling

Hi. Is it possible to get tasker to automatically activate Three's ThreeInTouch app when dialing a number? I have a non three phone (Oneplus 3T) so the app doesn't kick in when I dial a number instead you have to go into the app and dial from there.
I'm quite a novice to taksker.
I have never heard of this app, but after some research, it appears to be an app specific to a UK service provider. The point being to provide Wi-Fi calling when the cell signal is low and Wi-Fi is present.
Tasker can certainly open the app, but you need to define the conditions when it should. Always when wifi connected? Only when a certain wifi connected?
The way I would attempt to emulate the integrated behavior would be to create a tasker widget that is used to access the dialer replacing the use of the phone dialer launcher. The task associated with the widget would contain the logic to determine which of the two dialers (phone or three inTouch) should be launched.

Google forcing app design change

For those who may not be aware, changes to Tasker are being forced by Google, else they are threatening to pull the app (as others using the accessibility API) from the play store. This has the potential to affect users' existing profiles.
Here's Pent's post on the Tasker group page.

Wth is wrong with google? This is not funny. I am using Tasker with a huge Profile and a lot of Tasks that help me through my disabilities. Reconfiguring all the tasks will cost a lot of effort. It seems that I need to backup the current APK of tasker.
Thank you for the info cause I am used to update Tasker without even checking the changelog.
Looks like Google is rethinking their position on tasker being forced to remove access to the accessibility API. Pent's post.

How to find the current network access state in Tasker?

I am trying to toggle my mobile data. Don't know how to get the current state of network access. Plus, phone not rooted either. Any way to accomplish what I want,?
It's not clear what you're looking for. Do you want to know if you are connected to wifi in order to turn off mobile data (which doesn't work on all phones/ROMs)?
"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers
I simply want an alternative to toggling mobile data via the notifications drawer. The network access task has 4 states. I am only interested in "allow all" and "deny all".
In order to toggle I need to know what state it's initially in... that's all.
It sounds like you are working from a tasker tutorial. Could you either post the task or link to it.
You're talking about the network access ACTION used inside a task ?
Then you are turning access to the network on/off for apps rather than toggling the mobile data on/off?
"Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment." - Will Rogers
I can't post links because of rep. Google "network access Tasker". You should get the Tasker guide page.
To simplify. Say I have set the network access to "deny all" via some task. In a different task, I want to read that setting. How do I do that?
Hope I have made clear atleast now...
The only link that comes up is Tasker's user manual page for network access. That action turns on/off network access to apps either some or all. It won't matter if you're on wifi or mobile data.
I think the only way you can know the state is to set a variable in the task when it toggles on, then, if that variable is set, toggle off. Part of that toggle-off process should be to clear the variable.
If what you are looking to do is toggle mobile data (without root), then AutoApps plug-ins for Tasker is a way to go. AutoTools has a secure plugin that *may* be able to just do a simple toggle for you. Else AutoInput can "script" the touch sequences to toggle the quick tile.

Tried scripting with AutoInput. But I can't swipe backward from my notification drawer to get to the required place. AutoApps and AutoTools - I am just not clear as to what is the payment model these apps have at the moment. If you could demystify them it would be great.
Ps: the phone I use is Moto G4 Play.

I must be having a senior moment I'm not sure what swiping backwards from the notification drawer means. Are you trying to get to the next page of quick tiles?
It's been awhile since I installed AutoTools. I seem to think that you install it for 30 days with everything unlocked, then pay for the plugin(s) you actually use.

Turn on Bluetooth when in motion.

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?
Regards
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.

Thanks for the no help
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.
