I'm a long time Tasker user and cannot think using any device without it.
The main thing I use it for are:
- automatic change of audio volumes based on time and location;
- hourly chime;
- missed notifications reminder;
- automatic switch GPS ON/OFF when using maps;
... Other little things depending on specific ROM I'm using ...
Macro droid is pretty good, A tad easier to setup tasks
For me, Tasker knocked me down. I use Automateit Pro, a little bit more user friendly and does the job accurately.

I am using macro droid. Its really smooth and user friendly. Not as versatile as Tasker may be but it almost serves all the needs with more macros. It was my first purchase from google play.
Only use it to turn volume down when I arrive at the office.
Tasker and Secure Settings. I use it to:
1) Set ringtone to vibrate between 11pm to 6am
2) Trigger high accuracy GPS when I open waze.
3) Auto rotate only when in the camera, gallery, youtube and a few others.
4) Switch between edge and HSPA (to save battery) i.e. only swtich to hspa when youtube, web browser or app that needs a fast data connection is active.
5) Send emergency SMS to certain people when battery reaches to 10% (hardly ever happens but hey safe than sorry)
6) Switch to car mode (app) when connected to my bluetooth headset.
7) Open up emulator when game controller is connected.
8) When within range of my home town cell tower, switch on wifi, similarly when out of range of the tower, wait 2 mins then switch off wifi.

Do any of these require root?
I can't recall but I think secure settings requires root, someone correct me if I'm wrong. Most of them don't. Secure settings trigger different gps modes.
Ok cool thank you
Llama - is similar, as some alright features
I personally went for tasker and added secure settings
After 3 failed unlocks, takes picture on front cam and logs location
when face down, set phone to silent
when near home or work turn wifi on
when at home and connected to wifi, turn lock off
when connected to bluetooth in car turn lock off
on boot set lock to on
similar to others... other additions:
> read SMS sender and text contents while connected to car bluetooth [developing] (anyone know the right audio channel to play notifications through?)
> shake vertically to lock device (too big to always reach power button)
and per someone's earlier question yes you need root for secure settings to do most of its worthwhile tasker actions. although my secure settings is not working for enabling/disabling pattern unlock in 5.0 [liquidsmooth v4.0 unofficial]
I mainly use it to control the lights at home. I haven't been able to think of any other use cases for me

want to share this? looks a bit nifty
Below are the Tasker Profiles that I use:
1. Turn Wifi On when I'm connected to a cell tower near home. Turn off when I exit.
2. Notify to take my ID card when disconnected from wifi (reminds me in the elevator)
3. Turn on silent mode when I'm connected to a cell tower near office.
4. Switch to 2G when screen is off.
5. Turn on location for Maps, Uber, etc. Turn off when not using.
6. Increase the display timeout when using Feedly, Facebook, Play Store, etc. Change it back to 15 secs when not using.

Superquick:
New Profile "Shake it off" > Event > Shake Backwards & Forwards > Sensitivity = High, Duration = Medium > New Task "LockSystem" > If %SCREEN ~ on > System Lock
Note the "IF Screen ~ ON" otherwise while your phone is in your pocket it will keep locking which is not a problem untill you try to run with your phone playing music and you get the lock sound effect every step you take
The "Shake Backwards-Forwards" is not intuitive but the shake actions are sort of misnamed in tasker. This locks the phone if you shake it up and down vertically [insert masturbation gesture here].
The medium duration is also key so you get the right kind of threshold for not having the screen go off while you ride the bus but also not having to shake it for a while.

Tasker with OnePlus One
Hello,
I am using Tasker with some of the following tasks/settings...
Sound and Timeout profiles for Home, Out, Work and Night situations.
Toggle between different screens in Lightning launcher for Home, Out, Work or Night situations.
They than look similar to the Smart Screen Launcher screens.
Capturing notifications and displaying them in situations when I want them to appear, including sound and/or vibration.
Retrieving Sunrise/Sunset times and weather information, displaying the info via Zooper Widget.
Setting different wallpapers according the time and location during the day.
Adding the current location to for instance Evernote (like the app Where Am I).
A working time registration including reporting worked hours.
-Tasker
-Lightning Launcher
-Zooper Widgets
-AutoNotification (plugin for tasker)
-AutoLocation (plugin for tasker)
-AutoLaunch (plugin for tasker)
-Email Me (plugin for tasker)
There is so much you can do with tasker

Hey guys,
I don't own a Motorola device running Lollipop, but I'm curious as to how Moto Assist handles the Priority Mode in Lollipop.
If I'm not mistaken, in KitKat, Assist's 'Sleep Mode' will switch the phone into Silent Mode, depending on the time you've set. Also, you get the option for certain contacts to be able to get to you while the Sleep Mode is on (with the choice of None, Starred Contacts, Everyone in your phone book). I can't remember if there's the option to let Messages from the white-listed contacts to ring during Sleep Mode period, or even an auto-reply for all calls/text rejected during Sleep Mode.
I'm curious… how does Moto Assist handle this Priority Mode/None/All found in Lollipop?
If I'm not mistaken, if you've set Sleep Mode in Assist, it will turn on Priority Mode. Are you limited to the same options, as to how Contacts white-listing are handled (choice of None, Starred and Everyone?). Does Assist offer a more granular control or finer tuning in comparison to the native Interruption settings? Is Assist not a replacement for the native Priority Mode, and it only acts as something that turns on Priority Mode (separate from the native Downtime setting)
Setting up Meeting Mode, will also turn on Priority Mode. Is the Auto-Reply feature still there? Same with the above point on whitelisting contacts/notification types.
Is this conflicting with Android's own/built-in settings in Settings > Sounds and notifications > Interruption. Particularly the type of notifications that are let through (Calls, Messages, Alarms), and which contacts are being let through? (None, Starred Contacts Only, Everyone)
I guess if you can upload screenshots/video how Assist looks in L, that would help answer some of the questions I have!
Thanks!
OK, sleep is the same as no calls (although, I seem to remember it will ring if a favourite calls you more than once in quick succession).
Meeting is none or favourites for auto reply.
Is it conflicting? No. Works fine.
I figured I'd start a thread to share tips and tricks moving over to LP 5.0.1
Haven't found a way to add icons to Lock Screen other then Call & Camera yet BUT..
If your like me and really don't like the use of LP's Home button I downloaded "Screen Off and Unlock" from play store, now when I press and hold Home the screen goes off/sleep, it still goes to Google Now if you double hit Home...
1) If you want to use Do Not Disturb (DND), setting the toggle to on will keep DND on all the time. Setting just a schedule (and keeping the toggle off) will only activate DND during the scheduled time.
Alternatively, you can use the app called Do Not Disturb, which, IMO, works better than the default one. Plus, you can set multiple schedules!
2) if you're like me and hate how the new lockscreen notifications show everything that appears in your notification panel, and only shows the first 2 notifications (before you have to expand them all), then look at NiLS on Play. It mimics the LP lockscreen notifications, but you can choose what notifications to show or hide. And you can theme them too.
Hello everyone
I turned off all battery saving endeavors that I'm aware of:
1- Settings > battery & performance > power > battery saver > OFF
2- Settings > battery & performance > power > battery use > more > battery saver > turn on automatically > OFF
I noticed that after pressing more, if you select the second option: battery optimization
It lists apps that are either optimized or not optimized (that you can optimize)
I noticed that what's app & gmail were optimized by default.
Maybe that explains why their push notification was turned off overnight?
If you click the settings icon in the power section, it opens a menu. In that menu there's an option:
Clear cache when device is locked:
You have the option from setting it trigger from 1 minute, to 30 minutes or never.
What cache are they referring to?
3- under developer options
I turned off MIUI optimization
I left 'memory optimization' on low
Maybe the 'low' turned off push notifications during the night?
So, how is miui optimization different from memory optimization?
I noticed that this morning I did not receive what's app or gmail notifications till I opened each individual application.
This is a huge issue because I need push notifications to be like their namesake: PUSHED

I don't know 😀
I'll find out throughout the day though, I guess.
I did also turn off:

In the above, I turned off optimization for those apps.
So, now I won't know whether memory optimization in developer options or whether battery optimization will resolve it.
Well. No more disabled push notifications.
Either this resolved it:
under developer options
I set 'memory optimization' on off
Or this
I noticed that after pressing more, if you select the second option: battery optimization
It lists apps that are either optimized or not optimized (that you can optimize)
my wechat/messenger/pebble all work fine.
Gmail for some reason isn't automatically syncing so it doesn't receive the messages.
This is incredibly frustrating.
I read that the gmail app from google play works better than the one in the mi app store.
I uninstalled the mi one, installed the google play one, and that worked.
I also noticed that in my flailing about, I turned on the 'WLAN only" option in settings->sync, which was a bad move. (not my root cause though).
I added everything I tried (and I did a lot) to my FAQ.

Apparently it didn't work.
I slept at about 11 pm
I woke up this morning to notifications from about 1 am
Then when I opened the app, I received messages from 2 am and onwards.
I checked the above settings. They were the same as before.
Very weird. Discomforting experience.
Try my suggestions in the thread to disable MIUI optimizations to reslove late/missing notifications problem:
underlines said:
Disable MIUI battery saver and fix missed/late notifications
Settings > Battery & performance > Manage apps' battery usage > Off
Settings > Battery & performance > Power > Battery saver > Battery saver toggle off
Settings > Notifications & status bar > App notifications > select apps that can show floating notifications and notifications on lockscreen
Security > Permissions > Auto start > select apps that should get notifications after reboot

This is the only one I hadn't done
Let's see
Ok some bad news
Today morning gmail was disabled
It could've spay been disabled yesterday but I didn't notice
I went to bed at 10 pm
Woke up at around 1 am
I found what's app enabled
But gmail was disabled
When I entered gmail, the last email received was a little after 11 pm
Then it refreshed & I saw emails from 12 am & 2 am
I fell asleep again & awoke again at around 4am
Same thing
Then finally woke up at around 6 am and the same thing happened
But since waking up & continuously using my phone, gmail is working fine. Emails are pushed.
It's surprising because I replicated the what's app settings to gmail.
Therefore they should be behaving the same.
Try this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...gcm&pcampaignid=APPU_1_YWdIWJ2-JML3vgSk-6qQDg
Ok
It turned out gmail was not synchronizing
See photo
I restarted that device & that resolved it
Why do you suppose that happened?

I'm not 100% but I think because google framework is installed, not part of the stock system,
that stuff like 'Google play services' has to be "kept active"' (autostarted, etc, etc) the same as wechat/gmail/etc.

I noticed that some themes can disable the push notifications. Perhaps you should try all the tweaks mentioned here when you are in the default theme first? Also, if you are in MIUI 10, some themes show a warning that they are not compatible with Miui 10 and that some parts of the "system" may not work properly. Did you get this message?
Hello guys,
I try to set tasker to my new Mate 20 phone. I installed it with all authorizations, and I disabled the automatic save power control.
I set a first task – turn Bluetooth ON at 9AM. The task is running but at 9AM the Bluetooth is steel OFF and on the screen I have a popup “Allow Tasker to enable Bluetooth ?”.
A second task – Put the phone in Vibration mode at 10AM. At 10AM the phone switch to Vibration, but on the screen I have another popup “The vibration mode is activated”.
Why these popups, what I missed ?
Thanks for your help
Sounds like those popups came from another app. Maybe some security app or a preinstalled app from Huawei, which monitors who enables / disables system services. Do you see those popus also when you enable / disable bluetooth in the phone settings?
Try to identify the app / service owner of the popup by pressing long onto the popup. When you see a context menue choose app info.
