What have YOU done with Tasker?

[Tallica]

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.

Tanks again Nebula

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

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.

Any word on this Nebula?

I noticed something like this with mine as well. But the Wifi On profile was turning off after a scan. It might help to turn the needed wifi signal to 1 instead of 0.

That option is in the wifi near context.

Sorry I forgot about this I was busy Christmas shopping this weekend and was sick on Friday.

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.

My test showed it worked (I was off by almost a half hour already)

To integrate into the weather background I changed its nighttime check from 7:00 and 19:00 to %SUNRISE and %SUNSET respectively.

I then created a task to run at some random time in the morning before I get up to update the times.

He wrote
"A final thing I did because it looked cool was to add a Variable Set where I check the time, and if the time is greater than 19 (%TIME is system variable, in format 15.45 = 3:45pm) I append the phrase "Night" to the end of the %HTTPD21. Make sure the Append check box is checked."

I just changed the 19 to %SUNSET and added another line that does the same thing except it checks if %TIME is < %SUNRISE

If you'd like I can also make this based on your current location and not the preset zipcode. I already do this on my phone.

Would this involve integrating the "Find My Phone" profile up on the Wiki?

Yeah it runs just like the sunrise and set data but I can make it work only on your network location.

I'm getting really frustrated with splitting variables now to extract data.
My understanding is you enter the splitter as the text you want the xml to be split from.

i.e. to halve this sentence

the splitter would be "halve "

then you would have two variables:

"to halve "

AND

"this sentence"

Am I on the right track here? It's driving me insane.

New to the forum. Great info and love my droidx.
Previous blackbery user and i get more use from my droid.

I have a question:

I use google voice for phone and text for work and my cell# and regular text for personal on my droid x.

Is there way with a app like tasker, that i can set a schedule to silence incoming text/google vm or schedule what times incoming text or google voice messages to receive them.
This way i can keep my work on a schedule and still have my phone for personal use for after work hours.

i woiuld like to still use phone and regular text.

 

[NebulaOcton]

say you have this string saved to %grabbag
Ieatcheeseallday
If you spilt on "cheese", you will have %grabbag1=Ieat and %grabbag2=allday

Split %grabbag2 on ld then %grabbag21=al and %grabbag22=ay

Enable call forwarding when device enables 'silent mode'

Hey Taskers, I'm trying to set a profile whereas, tasker can detect if my device is set on 'silent mode'. If it is on 'silent mode', enable call forwarding to a Google number and it picks up immediately (less than two rings).

If my device disables 'silent mode', then deactivate call forwarding.

Thanks for the help.

Mardy


The purpose is for people to reach me in case of an emergency when my device is set on 'silence'. The google voice will have a greeting to notify people to call a google voice number only if there is an emergency. I have a profile with several tasks to notify me if that google voice number rings.

Your context is when %VOLR = 0
But I don't think it can do what you want. This is your only hope. http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/communication/locale-google-voice-set-plug_fmnk.html

Thanks Nebulaocton, could you please elaborate %volr =0 setup.

How should I create variable conditions for silent mode?

%VOLR is a tasker variable. It is the volume of your ringer.

So if you make a new task, for your context you want to choose
state - variable - variable value - %VOLR matches 0

So you only want to silence sms messages that come through google voice? Or all texts including google voice? Or calls and text from google voice?
