I want to create a profile that when I connect to the wifi the device does not ask for the pin / pattern.
sorry my english I'm using the translator
There are some previous thread in this forum that have discussed what you want:

Hello Group,
Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus; running Android version 7.0
Tasker version 5.0u6m
Email Plugins: SendSilentMail and MailTask
Problem: I have a number of Profiles that when executed they will email the Tasker backup file along with the battery logs that was created from a separate Profile. These profiles work great on my Note 3. The problem that I am having is ever since I transitioned to my Samsung Galaxy S8+ the mail plugins are not emailing the files that it did when the Profiles were on the Note 3. I have reached out to the developer of MailTask and he/she could not figure out why its not working. The developer of SendSilentMail has a dead email address. In addition, I have tried other mail plugins and I am still getting the same issue. SL4 does not work on my version of Android and have not worked after Kit Kit so using that plugin is out of the question.
Does anyone know how I can get Tasker and the mail plugins (or other alternative) to send email with our without attachments.
Regards,
Vernon
Have you tried capturing a logcat while running the task? It's possible it will give some insight.

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.

How can I close both apps in multi-window mode using Tasker? I'm on an unrooted Galaxy Note 8.
I am not particularly familiar with Samsung's multi window mode, but on a un-rooted device, I believe your best bet is to mimic the button presses you would normally do using the tasker plugin, AutoInput.

Thanks, but I've already tried that with no success.
Why not post the description of the task that didn't work. Anything that you can do with your finger on the device, AutoInput is able to mimic.

I tried setting up an autoinput action to long click on multi-window navigation button using easy actions. And I've tried to use screen coordinates to do the same in autoinput. But I have had no success yet. I'm still working on it... maybe I should look into a kill app action...
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.

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.
