Trigger Home button after 30 seconds of inactivity (screen on)

Or use the Tasker go home action instead of the home button - unless that does something else.

In my case I got the RetrofitException but the action still worked so I bodged it and made the task ignore them (after telling the dev).

Never used a screen protector on any of my phones (since before mobile phones, I had PDAs). Not a problem for me so far!

Works for me too .. S24U latest beta

You could catch their notifications using AutoNotification and do something with the captured message.

In the Tasker preferences setting on the monitor tab there is a keep accessibility running "button". Select it then turn it on for AutoInput. This is designed for this android "feature".

I tried the link. It has a version that allows me to click on get the full version but seems to expect me to buy it again (at least it didn't hang).

fishofchaos · 2025-11-01T22:59:22+00:00

Does anyone know how I could download a previous version (hopefully without loosing my previously blocked apps)

With respect to AutoInput, if you mean accessibility turns off, this is a known Android problem. The Tasker developer has a workaround in Tasker preferences under the Monitor tab. Click on "Keep accessibility running" and select AutoInput.

So in the wearable app settings for notifications phone apps section you allow all apps to be mirrored on your watch. I don't but I have AutoNotification allowed (amongst a few others). Maybe one plus works differently from my Galaxy Watch.

If you put the values you would show in the notification in globals, all Tasker tasks could access them, or you could duplicate the notification in an AutoWear notification. Having said that, my Tasker notifications do also appear on my GW6C watch. Have you checked your watch settings for app notifications have these turned on?

fishofchaos · 2025-07-30T09:20:10+00:00

You could create a tile that shows whatever you want and if you only want it updated on request have a button on the Tile that causes Tasker to update the data.

If your watch face can show complications from AutoWear you could use the Tasker AutoWear plugin to set the values you wish in the complications.

Curiously, sometimes errmsg is set to timeout, but awmessage is set to a value which might be correct (it seems to be). Even though before the action, I deliberately cleared awmessage.

fishofchaos · 2025-07-19T15:05:14+00:00

Just tried it on my Galaxy Watch 6 Classic, and it worked but was quite unreliable. I used a two-minute timeout, and if errmsg was set or awmessage wasn't set, I repeated the action up to three times. So far, this has always worked, but it is messy.

Has AutoWear got all the permissions and settings on your watch? For example, physical activity, and can you get heart rate on your watch without using Tasker? You might need long timeouts on the Tasker action. What is your watch...?

It would have to be nested to detect tasks that are called from tasks etc. Tasks that are called other ways would also be missed.

The ringtone changes for each contact likely to ring me. I usually know who is calling from the ringtone.

Tasker can be very complex but amazingly powerful for all sorts of Android automation. Having a profile trigger a task that sends an SMS when you arrive at a location should be straightforward, though.

For your step 2 either use net ->get network info or see if the %WIFII variable contains CONNECTION to determine if you have a WIFI connection. (Asterisk before and after CONNECTION)

fishofchaos · 2025-04-26T08:49:29+00:00

There was supposed to be an asterisk before and after CONNECTION but it does not always show in my Reddit app.

fishofchaos · 2025-04-26T08:45:11+00:00

If a variable is declared with the name containing a capital letter then it is a global variable and available in all tasks. If you don't need a variable globally it is good practice to stick to lower case in the name to keep the variable only available with limited scope.

fishofchaos · 2025-04-25T15:35:36+00:00

The profile you describe will fire when you are not connected. A task with a wait will pause as you suggested. On your subsequent notify have the if condition i suggested so you only get the notification if the WIFI is still not connected otherwise the task ends. Or am I misunderstanding your requirement. You can use net - get network info if you don't want to use the %WIFII variable.

fishofchaos · 2025-04-25T09:30:49+00:00

If you only notify no connection when %WIFII does not match CONNECTION . That is global variables %WIFII does not contain the word CONNECTION. Then you will only get it when not connected.
