activate a activity when in location HELP - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Hi everyone. I set up an activity that should be activated with the location via GPS and the network. however it does not work even if they are in the exact position. Could someone tell me if these functions on the position work immediately and with the screen off or is it useless that I continue to study? thank you

Yeah, it works. I use it every day.
Can you explain your profile? Maybe I can help.

Tasker location is not precise like that, you can try a geofence with autolocation plug-in, but you can't make it precisely activate when you are near the door. And Tasker checks locations based in configuration (check in Tasker preferences, monitor: GPS check seconds and Network location check seconds).
In your situation a NFC trigger is better.

Time context repeat wont fire

Hey guys. I have two different power saving profiles that I use for home and work to turn on/off Autosync. My work-profile does not work properly, and I think it has to do with the repeating option in the time context. My home-profile works perfect, and the only difference between these profiles is that the repeat-interval is much shorter in my home-profile. Sometimes the work-profile fires, sometimes not. I tried experimenting with the repeat-interval and if I change it to 10,15 or 20 minutes (for example) it works every time. This is why I am pretty convinced it has to do with the repeat-interval.
This is how my work-profile looks like. The other contexts (Wifi connected and weekdays) are always activated when I test the profile, so they are not the issue.

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My home-profile has repeat-interval of 20 minutes, and that works as I said flawless.
Has anyone else experienced any problems using longer intervals with repeating contexts, or could it be anything else?
Repeating time context seems to be an issue on Samsung devices running Android 5.1 ->, in THIS thread there is a lot of people with exatcly the same issue.. Not good.
Did you already try activating the option "Use Reliable Alarms" in settings/preferences/monitor?
This feature solved the problem with my time context profiles on MM occasionally not activating.
Also it's best to exclude Tasker and Secure Settings in Battery Optimization feature of MM.

I have not activated Reliable alarms, I will look into this! I have already excluded Tasker and Secure Settings (and all other plugins I use for Tasker) from Doze though.
I tried a different solution yesterday though, to only have a single context (State) since the Time context seems to be the problem;
State -> connected to work-Wifi.
Action 1 -> Sync ON
Action 2 -> Wait 5 min
Action 3 -> Sync OFF
Action 4 -> Wait 2hours
REPEAT ALL ACTIONS FOUR TIMES
EXIT TASK - > Sync OFF
In this way I get the same result since it covering the hours I am at work. The same could be done when connected to Home-Wifi but with a lot more repeats. Since the Task only will activate when connected to Wifi (and end when disconnected) I don`t need any specific hours when the Profile should run. So this should work in the same way..
Anyway, I will try your suggestions as well and see if it fixes the issue.
Thanks!

Tried set ``Use Reliable Alarms´´ to ``Always´´, but dint work. Repeat works the first 1-3 times but after that it will stop or only activate the task sporadically. I think I have some serious bug in Tasker since this is not the only issue I have for the moment. Will probably try to reinstall and load a older backup and see what happens..
Problem solved. See HERE for info.

Auto deleting notifications by phrases or keywords

Please advise tasker newbe about blocking/deleting unwanted notifications which contain defined phrases from any application (e.g. muting notifications about Google Play Framework missing (which is frozen)).
In other words, if any application displays its notification in the NotificationBar, and this notification has in its content any phrase from the list (defined somewhere by user before), then Tasker will remove this notification not to bother a user.
Probably it needs some variables:
- Notification ID
- Notification content
- List of phrases
In a profile there must be:
- Appearing a new notification
- In a loop, checking for every phrase if notification content holds it (grep ?),
- If it holds it then notification ID is written to variable and:
- Task is fired:
"close notification of given ID"
And how to code this into Tasker's language???
Please help in defining this, is it possible?
Look at AutoNotification. You can intercept other apps notifications and clear them.
Any possibility to code it in Linux style without third patty gui plugins? Anyway thank you!

Tasker can detect notifications, but can only read the title, I believe. It should also be able to clear them, though, I haven't look into it.
AutoNotification is better at handling notifications, that's for sure.
Yes, but maybe some text console Android system commands can read a notification content?
And also clear it, because can't find in Tasker any action of clearing a notification.
Tasker can do anything if you have sufficient knowledge. Learn how to create an app that does what AutoNotification does then use Tasker's intents/scripts to replicate it.
But then (and I say this a lot), why would you want the overhead of Tasker's framework? The whole point of plug-ins is to extend Tasker's capabilities.
And again, Automagic does it as easy as abc:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Please, seriously asking, how advantageous is Tasker over Automagic (excluding rubbish like ease of use, clear GUI etc)?
Different strokes for different folks
Please, seriously answer, probably there is some trade-off between ease of use and effectiveness, stability etc?
I like how Tasker reacts on "shake" trigger, there is possibility to accurate define what sort of shakes, in which axis (left-right, to&fro) etc.
Automagic fails do it in such nice way.

Tasker and Google Maps, action Tap, Done button ?

Hello guys. When google maps completes a trip it displays a completed trip splash screen where one has to click Done in order to continue. I do lots of trips and would like to automate this with tasker.
I would like to schedule a task that will execute click of Done at the end of the trip so maps can go to their default screen of showing your location. I do lots of trips and i find this splash screen unnecessary.
Most of the tutorials i found use time as variable but time will change all the time so can not use time and need to use some other variable. Not sure how to set this up especially the variables.
Anyone can help me out what actions to setup in Tasker in order to execute this after each trip completes? Thank you in advance.
Get AutoInput Tasker Plugin. Then create a Profile-->event-->Plugin-->AutoInput-->UI Update. Set it up using guides/tutorials to monitor Google Maps for that "Done" button to appear. Then for the task, use AutoInput to automatically tap the "Done" button for you.
Watch a bunch of tutorials about AutoInput....it is the key here.

Hi @Stupifier Thank you for that. I think i'm getting there but have last hurdle. One thing i'm uncertain now.
Do i choose for text YOU HAVE MADE or DONE ?
Should i check only clickable and "DONE" text and ONLY visable "YOU HAVE MADE IT" text ?
Anything for Variables ? After i create Profile and set all of that it won't let me complete without setting tasks. It want's to delete unfinished profile as no tasks have been set.
Here is the task / splash screen what i need to auto task / auto input. The automation of click "auto click" needs to be executed on Done button.

What to put in for Text. Do i choose for text YOU HAVE MADE or DONE ?
Should i check only clickable and "DONE" text and ONLY visable "YOU HAVE MADE IT" text ?
Tasker won't let me complete it without tasks setup. I thought autoinput would set this up based on what i inputed into fields in screenshot above. I guess tasks are still missing? Thoughts?

How to: Auto DND when drive with Google Play Services Note 8

Hello, on the old phone one day I received a notification that said "you want to activate DO NOT DISTURB automatically when driving?" I clickes "yes" and this appeared in the menu.

I think they disable that option because it wasn't "smart " enough to detect if you were driving, a passenger or even on a train.
There are two options to enable DnD (do not disturb). None is a native option. First, like I do, install android auto and set the bluetooth device. The second one is an app named driving inspector.
Hope it helps.

It is possible to "copy" the native options from my S7 edge?
I want this function because I use it every day with no other app installed :/
PS: I searched "driving inspector" on google and play store but I can't find it.

I used this fake gps you refer before, but I find this red one is much easier to use.
You did not provide a link to the application, so it is difficult to discuss.

FakeGps : Fake Gps Location - Apps on Google Play
Change the location on your mobile device to any place.

Here it is.
An Internet connection is required before setting a new location. If you follow the instructions shown in the app's help, setting a new location should work fine.
Spoiler: settings
FakeLocation vs. Fake GPS:
- 5 times greater,
- free for 15 minutes only,
- does not work in android 5,
- is more complicated to set up location falsification,
- after following all instructions, does not falsify location in my Samsung with android 10.
it's very useful. Thanks a lot. Maybe becuase I 've been familiar with it or used to it ,I think it is still easier to use
