Hi.
I want to create tile using Tasker for switching NFC on and off. Is there any tutorial, how to create switching title with 2 tasks and switching between them? I didn't find any tutorial, only Tasker Tuesday, which is not clear.

I use Tasker with Kitkat 4.4.4 on my Z3C. I have some tasks to enable/disable Wifi when in or out of range. But Tasker doesn't switch Wifi on or off everytime. Sometimes it seems that Tasker skips one action in task. I've appended two screenshots from simple task and running log. At time the task was executed, Wifi was off already, but Tasker doesn't switch it on (a note: on screenshots Wifi is enabled, but on execution is was off). But why? Also, there is a task to switch off Wifi and Tasker also skips this action in task sometimes. I haven't found a reason why action is skipped sometimes and sometimes it's executed. This is really, really annoying.
Can anyone help?
I've capsuled Wifi On/Off into separate tasks now and call these tasks from main task, now it seems that Wifi switch does work. I'll have a look at this, but it is mysterious nevertheless.
I'm trying to set up a tasker quick setting tile which changes depending on whether it's active or inactive, just like the Bluetooth and NFC tiles. The tile runs a task which then toggles a profile, so:
Wifi profile..
Task to toggle profile..
Task to create qs tile which runs above task.
The tile toggles the profile as intended but I'm unable to find how to have it indicate active/inactive as per the profile status. If I run the qs task actions (see pic) within tasker the tile changes. I've tried different variables (like %PENABLED) and conditions but no luck, so I'm hoping someone with a better knowledge of tasker can throw some light on it.. please!
Hi All,
I have created a home automation UI using zooper and tasker. Within tasker, I have created a task that does the following once a user taps on the 'Camera' widget:
1. Open Ring
2. Waits 4 seconds
3. Performs the following actions (clicks)
- Clicks Menu
- Clicks Devices
- Selects Doorbell
- Clicks Live View
This works great and functions as it should, but as you can imagine it is not clean at all. I was wondering if there was a way in which these actions can be performed in the background or if there were any alternatives to getting this to work where the user would tap the 'Camera' widget and Rings Live View would open up. I also have Wink with Ring integrated into it, but it wouldn't allow me to create a shortcut for Ring. I've also checked IFTTT recipes but didnt find one that would work.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott
You need to use intents. I don’t have a ring doorbell so I don’t know the intents that ring uses sorry.

Thanks! I'll google it to see how to use intents with Ring.
Looking to do similar. I'm trying to open motion or ring notifications to the Live View. Any luck with this?
The only intents I saw were to go straight to devices or list of events.
Is it possible to make a tile in quick settings by which I could turn off the profile ?
Hi all,
I had a nifty feature back in LLama where I could set my phone to silent and it would ask me how long. It came in handy at the movies or other private events, I know it's really easy to do, and there is even this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3829624
On how to just set a toggle and set it as a tile in the exact location I wanted. The thing I'd like to add is a popup asking me how long to set it to vibrate for, and then have it return to its previous state when that time has expired. Minutes and hours would be preferable. If this isn't possible to do with a tile in the settings pulldown, then just setting up a widget would be cool.
So, to clarify:
Open the settings and click on the tile, or activate the widget on my screen
Popup appears
Choose how many hours minutes I'd like it to be on vibrate, hit 'Done'
At the end of that time, it returns to normal(Or, failing that, it just returns to a setting I choose if I can't just have it return to its last state.
I'm sure that this one is super easy, still learning Tasker, so I'm not sure where to start. As always, I appreciate all of the help in this AWESOME community! Every time I come to XDA, no matter what the subject is, I remember what community help forums used to be like.
The simple answer is to set vibration mode on then create a scene with two data entries (number, text field, whatever) one for hours and the other for minutes. Use those values to create a wait in the task and after the wait, switch vibration mode off.
What I personally hate about that method is the task is just sitting there counting down. I prefer to make use of a time context in a profile. That means the time entered in a scene needs to be converted to a future time so the profile will trigger at that time.
I didn't feel like writing everything that covered the methods of creating a task like this. The following link is to a project you can import that covers the bases of turning on vibration mode and turning it off again. It's toggled from one of Tasker's quick settings tiles (#2). The vibration mode can be cancelled either based on the delay entered (time), or through a cancel button in a notification, or by tapping the same quick settings tile again.
The actions in this project are heavily commented.
