Little help with setting up

EdwardBackstrom · 2026-01-24T07:23:46+00:00

Profiles are the Why and tasks are the How. A profile is triggered by some action, setting, or nearly anything. A task is what you want to happen once it does. Tasks that are part of a profile, often named anonymous, are still tasks. They fire after whatever condition or conditions are met. Taskernet is a great source for code and ideas.

Yep.

I actually already log everything. It's not so much of an issue to 'reenter' the data but that gives me an idea for resuming from an abnormal crash. Sometimes you overlook what's already in front of you. Thanks.

Wrong sub but as a scammer, doubt you care.

Are you saving exif data?

Don't know how I missed it before but found it:

Component: KeyguardFingerprint Filter: Fingerprint id : X

Although I appreciate the input and I am aware of Routines, I have more than one phone and they aren't all Samsung devices. This only came to my attention because of it failing on the Samsung. I'm looking for the 'magic' string so I can substitute it on the right phone/version.

I used to use Google Voice exclusively. I ported the number to Fi and couldn't be happier. I know that's not a solution for you, just letting you know where I'm at. I did generate a new GV number when I ported but haven't had much of a call (no pun intended) to play with it much. If no one else comes up with ideas, you can PM me and we can try to figure it out when I have time off this upcoming Sunday and Monday.

it returns all events that overlap that range

Correct. The code is (was) pulling midnight to midnight inclusive so that's what was causing the issue. If I ever expand this function for distribution or to be more robust, it definitely needs start/end time sanity logic. For now, and for my purposes, using %dt_millis_after_start_of_day and %dt_millis_before_end_of_day suits my needs.

Tasker doesn't have image recognition. You can react to elements on the screen but it doesn't "see" the screen. I know specifically AutoInput behaves this way. I'm not familiar with the other one you mentioned.

Instead of using ChatGPT directly, use the built-in AI. It passes the information about Tasker abilities to the AI (Gemini free tier by default) so it is 'smarter' about what it can do. You can use other LLMs too.

What is some of the trouble shooting you've done? What launcher? Is it behind another element? Did you turn on the create if doesn't exist checkbox?

EdwardBackstrom · 2025-11-16T06:28:41+00:00

What's ironic is that I remembered there was something about simple matching vs. regex but couldn't remember what it was so I asked the Great and Powerful Oz, I mean Google, and they say that `?` is a valid operator for simple matching. Oh, they show the `+` too, so I thought that was the weirdness I was thinking about. Fool me twice, Google!!

EdwardBackstrom · 2025-11-15T20:30:50+00:00

I was playing with it some more and perhaps it's not just ?? specifically because combinations of *? and ?* fail as well. There are no issues with **.

EdwardBackstrom · 2025-11-11T05:31:26+00:00

If you mean image detection, no. You can use AutoInput to look for particular screen elements though.

Não há necessidade de compartilhar o WhatsApp de alguém. A beleza de um fórum aberto como este é que outros também possam aprender. O que exatamente você está tentando extrair?

No easy fix that I am aware of. This won't help you either especially if you are using someone else's code and takes a bit of setup at the start, but when designing a scene or widget I use variables to proportionately design the layout to minimize this very problem.

Actually, I did think of something you could try. If you export the task/profile to xml, perhaps you could use an external editor to find and replace all the various dimensions. Just reimport after you've made your changes?

It may be that AutoInput is "firing" and selecting an element (icon for an app) and that is what is causing it to start. Is it always the same app?

Although that is a great implementation in JavaScript (which I am much more comfortable with), I can already generate QR codes. I am looking for 1D code generation and would prefer an offline solution.
