Curious if someone could help me figure out how to automate my Ring alarm system. I am very familiar with Tasker but so far have been unable to figure it out. The application doesn't include a widget so there's no simple way to change the modes (home,away, disarm). Trying to create a simple task to change the modes. Guessing i need to find the intents for the application and try running them via tasker? Not sure how to locate the info though. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you found anything yet? Would also love this!
i dug into this a bit and posted a small amount of information in the tasker forums but didnt get anywhere.

If SimpleCommands would add Tasker support this could easily be done.

Hi guys, I have been using Lock 2.0 and I think it's a great app, only problem is that after a reboot it doesn't auto-start itself, I have to go and re-open the app for it to re-enable it, does anyone know how to make the app auto-start after a reboot?
i would be interested in a way to autostart any app. if someone knows how to accomplish this please let us know. i am willing and knowing to edit system files, sqlite databases and also teh contents of .apk to achieve this.
I did find this app:
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.nk-bla-android-autostart-qmnB.aspx
I have no idea how to do what it says in the description though so can't try it out, if you want to give it a go and know how to accomplish the task in the description, please could you tell me how to do it? cheers
it runs a shell script on startup. there are at least 5 different ways to accomplish this with android on-board tools, the problem here is: how do i start an app from a script/commandline?
I like the Motorola Assist feature that reads back texts to you. My problem is, I don't want it enabled every time I'm in a car. For example, I do not want it to read back texts to me when I'm a passenger in someone else's car. I also don't want it to read back texts when I have passengers in my car.
Is there a way I can create a Tasker task that would enable the Motorola Assist Driving function via an NFC tag with NFC Task Launcher? I'm pretty familiar with NFC Task Launcher but I'm pretty much a total noob with Tasker.
Sorry...I meant to post this in the Q&A forum. Moderators, feel free to move it if necessary.

I just received my Moto X and had this exact thought. I'd like to be able to automatically trigger Driving mode, but only conditionally when an NFC tag is triggered, and then have it determine when I'm not driving anymore on its own.
Unfortunately, this would almost certainly require an API to be open by the Motorola Assist app that would allow another program to talk to it and issue it commands. I don't think that's the case, which is a bit of a bummer, since it's so useful.
I was taking a short drive back to my office, so I didn't bother to pull my phone out of my pocket. Sure enough, about 2 minutes into the ride, my Pandora station started back up automatically, and since it's paired to Bluetooth, it just started playing through my car speakers, which was awesome. Would be more awesome if it was triggered automatically by BT, and/or NFC though...
unless you can get the intent info for assist the best option may be to use tasker and input taps to open assist and toggle it on/off.
I haven't tested this at all because I just decided to make my own version of this in tasker that I can enable/disable any time I want with other profiles or via voice commands.

Sorry if I sound dumb, but I am new to Tasker. Is your solution possible without root? Is it possible for you to post the steps you used to create this toggle?
THANKS!

pretty sure you need root for input taps
I was wondering if it would be possible to use tasker to send intents to activate certain moto features during more refined contexts. Like have the command talk to me executed to turn on "talk to me" or sleeping mode etc. I don't have programming experience so not sure what to look for in the APK.

Its possible to send intents to apps using Tasker, I'm doing it to control my media app and my home automation app. All you need to do is to find what intents you need to use then its easy to configure tasker to send it. Maybe you could use an app to find your the correct ones like
This app might help you intercepting/identifying intents: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.ashtonbrsc.android.intentintercept
I have a profile that will turn off wifi and turn data on when I leave work.
I am trying to add a task to this that will open copilotand set the navigation to on of my saved destinations.
Can anyone help me with this please?
Never used copilot but i am pretty sure it is possible with autoinput.
You launch the app with tasker, and use a combination of autoinput commands, to have it open what you want.
The "intent" stuff that i know nothing about might be helpful as well.

Thank, I hope someone could expand further with the items you mentioned please?
You could take a look at its intents on manifest file of the apk.

Sorry haven't a clue what this means?
Tried using autonotification, it seems like it doesn't recognize what is clickable and what is not within your app and so i couldn't do anything with it. Havn't used it for a long time so i might be missing out on something. I probably am.
About intents check this out. Was just reading it since i don't know about intents either. It was interesting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2489449
Its an interesting read. Tried using an intent for google maps, your app recognized it. I could feed an address to the app but it will simply display it on the map.
There is most likely an intent for google maps to navigate to an address from your current position. If thats the case, your app most likely will recognize it as well which is what you are looking for.

Quit scratching your head trying to remember how to configure Tasker and use my initial Tasker configuration checklist!
Features include a bullet list of configuration and setting preference I typically use when I installing Tasker on a wiped or new device.

Enjoy!
hello, you know if there is a way to do this with a task?

Hey there! Unfortunately I do not... I wish there was though! If you are rooted there is always TiBu, I used to just do that until I stopped rooting my devices a few years ago. Thanks for reading my post!
when you create a task and go to Tasker action, there is something called Set Tasker Pref. You can use this to set different aspects of Tasker configuration, isn't this what you want?

That method can do a few things however it will handle a very limited amount of items compared to my list. Hope that helps!
