What have YOU done with Tasker?

[NebulaOcton]

K, Nebula I tested your wifi off by leaving my house today. It took over 15 min of me being disconnected from my network and still in my cell near zone before the wifi on profile kicked off!

Are we making this off profile too difficult? Shouldn't the wifi on profile just turn off and stay off until it's wifi near again within a minute of being disconnected from home network, leaving just the home profile on?

It seems to me that in the wifi off profile if we just had the: wait 1 minute until %WIFIC=0, the Wifi set off and the profile status wifi on set off. It would work.

Maybe I'm way off, you are the expert.

Weird, I don't have a problem with my setup.

I tested yours in the same config in which you gave it to me (with out the things I noticed needed to be changed yesterday) and saw what you saw with it.

As far as you still having issues with the new one I am not sure why.

Turning the Wifi near profile to off as you suggest would leave it off and it wouldn't come back on unless we added that to another profile, say the cell near profile. But then we would have to leave the cell near area.

What if we did this.

In the Wifi On profile we add all the stuff that Connected does. We still leave connected there so that if you connect to a random access point, wifi will turn off when you are out of range but we just duplicate it in the wifi near profile.

I think that would work better for you. The only thing I can think is happening to you is that your still reading your router after Wifi Off goes through all its stuff but you aren't connecting to the router so Wifi Off stays disabled.

Before you try the idea above change the wait in the beginning of wifi off to 3 minutes and see how it works tomorrow or when ever you leave your house next. Also how are you monitoring the profiles? Are you watching the notification pull down?

Okay, I think I have it set up now but the gps icon is constantly flashing on an off. Has been doing this for 45 minutes now. It's destroying my battery! Did I do something wrong?

And hell yes go Red Sox! We got Crawford and Gonzales!

I'll change it to 3 min and test. Can't I just shut my router off to test instead of leaving the house and staying within cell near?

And yes, I'm watching it in the pulldown.

 

[NebulaOcton]

Yes killing the router should work

I did a location reliant one and selected get fix. Then I set it to set ring volume to 0 and turn vibrate on. For the exit one I set to to full ringer volume and turn vibrate off. That's it.

Also a few questions:

Should the icon show up on my notification bar when my phone goes to vibrate? Because it doesn't. Also, if this is active and I manually change the volume, does it shut it off- or will it reset the volume on its own?

Do I need to add the wifi connected context and all 3 tasks to the wifi on profile? 'cause I already have 2 contexts in wifi on profile...?

 

[Fenway72]

Is this possible?

I would like to have tasker send an sms when I am on my motorcycle. I always listen to music when I ride. Is it possible to have tasker generate an auto sms when poweramp is running? If it can't send an sms, can I have it open my autorespond app and activate the responder?

No dice on that one too. the wifi off comes on and shuts everything down then the home and wifi on come back on then a munute later the wifi off comes back on but the home and wifi on stay on!!

 

[Fenway72]

Better yet...

Playing around with it, I noticed that I can use the "headset plugged in." I just don know how to make it auto send when I receive a call or text.

Okay, I've been looking everywhere and can't figure this out.

What I'd like is:

Headphones plugged in, respond to all calls and texts with an sms message. Seems in theory to be easy, but I can't seem to get it right.

Okay, so I have made it so when I plug it a headset to the phone and I'm listening to music and receive an sms, tasker sets media volume to zero, (so that the read sms can be heard) auto reads my texts, then sets the media volume back to full volume. The problem is that once this happens and I unplug my headset later on, the media volume on my phone is very quiet. Even at full volume. Somehow tasker is limiting my phone volume and I have to reboot to get my external volume back to normal. Any idea why this is happening?

So here is what I am looking to do:

At certain days/times, I want tasker to change my default home screen app from/to ADW/LauncherPro. Is there any way to accomplish this?
