What have YOU done with Tasker?

[NebulaOcton]

Think I got the newest, i'll double check and maybe redo the profiles, thanks and i'll be eagerly awaiting your possible fix.

Ok I didn't have an issue this morning with WIFI staying on. This is going to seem a bit ridiculous...

On you Wifi Off profile:
Wait 1 minute until %WIFIC~0
Wifi Off
Profile Status Home to off
Profile Status Wifi Near Home to off (this is the label I use yours might be different)
Variable set %HOME to 0
Wifi Off (yes again)
Wait 10 seconds
Profile Status Home to On
Profile Status Wifi Near Home to On
Profile Statis Wifi Off to Off

The bold is new. If you need help programming this let me know. I want to run it for a few days to ensure it works before I update the wiki.

It looks like more then just the bold is new your last wifi off had a wait of 30 seconds.

If you could type out the steps for this like the Wiki, I'd appreciate it. If it's just changing the Wifi off profile I'll delete it and make a new one.

Sorry, this app is just confusing to me.

Oh yeah forgot about that, I had to change mine to a minute because I lose signal sometimes in my bed and 30 seconds wasn't long enough for me to roll the right way to find it.

Ok I will test out today. Thanks Neb. One thing though shouldn't the state for the wifi Off be Wifi connected (invert)? Not sure if this was a typo or not.

Oops yes it should have invert checked. Thanks for checking that.

Hi everyone!

I am very interested in using the HTTP Get function to check current weather during the night and detect for snow/frost, popping up an alert when my morning work alarm first goes off, telling me I have to get up straight away to clear the car.

Now I have been looking at these profiles/tasks:

Weather Dependent Background Image - Tasker Wiki
This appears to work fine.

Sunrise and Sunset times - Tasker Wiki
I can't get the times to flash up by calling the variables, or understand how it can be used in conjunction with the profile above.

Task that retrieves the 'zipcode' from location (%LOC) task - Tasker | Google Groups
This postcode one doesn't seem to work for me either. The name of the variable is flashed up, e.g. %HTTPD2121

For the last 2 profiles, when I exit Tasker and come back into the app, I see an error log which says something like:
E: 20.27.01#E: can't split unset variable %HTTPD2

I'm not exactly sure what this means.

However, after adding all the above profiles/tasks, when running the post code one, I am getting some data flashed up, containing some weather data. Perhaps this is because "Delete base" isn't checked in all the tasks when the first HTTP Get command is executed?

Any pointers would be great as I feel I'm getting out of my depth here!

I wrote the sunset time profile. Part of the problems may be the recent changes in Tasker. I will up date the wiki now, see if that helps, give it 15 minutes though so I can do it.

Ok just small changes, see if you can get the times now and let me know. If you can I will post how I linked it to the backgrounds.

Ok, thank you for your response. I will try this out tomorrow and post my findings.
Good night all!

Not that I know of. I think the hardware inside only allows for off or not not a variable voltage to control the brightness.

Hey Nebula, I've been running this new wifi off profile for a while
and what I've noticed is that when I leave my house and my phone disconnects fom my network the wifi off profile kicks in and shuts down Home and wifi on, but then once wifi off does it's thing and disables itself, My home profile kicks back in (obviosly 'cause I'm still in my cell near range) but so does my wifi on profile and it won't shut the wifi back off (which I think it should 'cause it can't connect to my network) for a long time or whenever I leave my home area. Shouldn't the wifi on profile not come back on until it is near my wifi network.

I would think what you are trying to do is when you disconnect from home network to keep the wifi on profile off until it is wifi near again, it's close but I'm not sure if it's quite there yet....hopefully the issue is not on my end, and if so I appoligize.

I tried again, I couldn't see any changes in the task for obtaining the data. I hope I haven't missed any, please forgive my ignorance if you did change that part of the task.

I added some flashes to see what happens to the variables after each step. So in order: flash location, go to www.geomojo, split %HTTPD, flash %HTTP, split %HTTPD1, flash %HTTP1. This is all I added.

The location flashes up with co-ordinates, but immediately after the line to go to www.geomojo I asked it to flash %HTTPD, expecting to see something other than %HTTPD, but I didn't. After splitting %HTTPD1, I saw some data.
I added a text file to catch what was being flashed up after split %HTTPD1:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:yweather="http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0" xmlns:geo="http://www.w3.org/2003/01/geo/wgs84_pos#">

</description></item></channel></rss><!-- api1.weather.ch1.yahoo.com uncompressed/chunked Fri Dec 10 09:18:47 PST 2010 -->

At the very end of the task I wrote a text file to catch all the data of all the variables used, which is always blank. I hope this can shed some light on the problem.

Are you using the full url for geomojo?

Yes, I just shortened it in my post. I don't suppose this is the root of the problem: Reverse geocoding is down due to popular demand. geomojo.org ?
Geocoding is down?

That is why. I didn't notice it with my code because I already have the variables set...

I'll see if I can figure out a way to do it now. It could be quite tough though so I have no estimate.

 

[NebulaOcton]

I have it fixed I think, the wiki is updated.

I have it fixed I think, the wiki is updated.

So I see, I'm currently playing around with it. It's looking promising, thank you for your help.

It does work as you say. I added "&u=c" to the end of "weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=%HTTPD12" to display the temperatures in Celsius. Now it's a case of extracting the data I need as and when I need it.

One other thing regarding variable splits: is there a specific procedure/method for naming the splits? For example, do I start with %HTTPD then %HTTPD1, %HTTPD2, %HTTPD21, %HTTPD212? I have seen a very detailed profile with very long variable split names. I have to admit I'm finding them a bit confusing. http://groups.google.com/group/task...d084cd8879/94012ea7e3d7476d?#94012ea7e3d7476d
