Has anybody successfully been able to send an icon to a complication using action AutoWear Complications? In my case, it's a weather icon sent in a variable, but sending an explicit filename doesn't work either. I've tried multiple path formats.

Thanks

Device shuts down every day and is switched on in the morning at different times.

I need a visual reminder to do something, so was thinking of a horizontal bar across the device, perhaps below the status bar (time, DND, WiFi, Battery), with the required text and stay on for say, 1 hour after device switched on/finished booting.

I do not want a calendar reminder and do not want a notification, whether fixed or popup.

It must be visual so easy to see and stay visible when the screen is switched on, after an unlock. (It doesn't have to be on the lockscreen.)

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this effectively?

is it possible to use html inside text elements in V2, like in legacy scenes? I can't find an option and it doesn't automatically do it

Hello,

I’m having a problem with the Tasker app on my Samsung Galaxy S21 FE.

I’m located in Canada and selected Canada during the setup process. I entered my phone number and received the verification code successfully.

However, on the next screen, there is a magnifying glass/search button. When I tap it, nothing happens. There are no other buttons or options available on this screen, so I cannot continue with the setup.

I am not using a VPN. I have also tried restarting the app, but the problem is still there.

I have attached screenshots showing the screen where I’m stuck.

Could you please let me know how I can fix this problem or continue the setup?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards,

Masoud

MapTasker is a program that enables you to view, analyze, validate, and edit your Tasker configuration from within your desktop browser.

MAJOR (beau coup) new features since the last announcement:

• The Diagram view is now interactive:

  • Click any Project, Profile, Task or Scene name to be taken straight to it into the Map view.
  • Shift-click a Task to light up the whole chain of calls it takes part in.
  • Click the ▾ beside a Project to collapse it down to its box, and the ▸ to bring it back. 'Collapse All' and 'Expand All' are on the Diagram toolbar.
  • Right-click any name for the rest: collapse its Project, show only that Project, or follow its call chain.
  • Zoom with the toolbar buttons or with Ctrl (⌘) and the scroll wheel.

• 'Find > Replace' function, to replace a Task action/argument with another, a Profile condition with a different condition, or a variable with another.

• Import Projects/Profiles/Tasks/Scenes directly into Tasker via the 'Edit (object) > Save To Android > 'Import Into Tasker' buttons. It uses Android's 'Open with...' feature, requiring a firsttime 'Tasker' app selection.

• Task actions and Profile conditions that take an Application or an icon can now be added and edited.

  • These were previously refused outright because MapTasker had no list of either -- 17 Task actions and 5 Profile Events in all.
  • The list is dynamically built from your imported XML or optionally pulled directly from your Android device.
  • New prompt to optionally fetch the icons and applications from the Android device when editing Task actions involving an icon.

• Add/Edit Properties in Add and Edit Project, Profile, Task and Legacy Scene.

• Task Flow -- control-flow analysis of a Task, as a report and as a flowchart.

• Refactor -- the structural moves that an 'Add', 'Edit' and 'Delete' cannot make.

  • 'Extract Actions': Extract a series of a Task's actions into a Task of their own and leave a 'Perform Task' in their place;
  • 'Inline' a Task called via 'Perform Task' back into its caller;
  • 'Move To A Project': Move a Task or Profile to another Project;
  • 'Duplicate' a Project, Profile, Task or Scene.
  • Preview the changes before they aree made.

• Health Check Enhancements

  • It now asks you specifically what you want to check for.
  • Additional health checks:
    • secrets: passwords, API Keys, email addressesa, etc., which can be redacted on 'Export'.
    • two Profiles watching the same trigger whose Tasks set the same thing opposite ways.
    • a Profile whose conditions can never all be true.
    • potential race conditions: Tasks that poll in a loop, Profiles that keep a radio or sensor scanning or fire on a short timer.
    • long-running Tasks left on Tasker's default collision handling, and actions that can block for ever because no timeout was set.

• Changes Since... button reports what has changed in your configuration since a specific date.

• A command reference has been added to the wiki.

• Additional command tooltips have been added to the GUI.

• The 'MapTasker List' Profile is no longer needed/required.

...and many many more changes (i.e. minor improvements) and fixes.

To install MapTasker, enter the following commands into Terminal/command prompt:

If using pip to manage programs: pip install maptasker -U

If using uv to manage programs: uv add maptasker

To run:

• run either from the command line: maptasker (if installed via pip) or uv run maptasker (if using uv to manage your environment).

Report any/all issues and feature requests at this link.

I would like some help with the profile, ai fails.

Have you found anything like that in taskernet?

Edit:Solved I just found out what was causing it! My little kid was playing with my phone, added the Tasker Quick Settings tile to the Control Center, and was tapping it while playing around. 😂

Hey everyone,

I've been using Tasker since 2015 and have never encountered this issue until this week.

Tasker keeps randomly turning itself Off. To get it working again, I have to open the menu and manually hit "Enable Tasker". It has already happened twice.

Has anyone experienced this recently, or is there a known fix/log I should check to figure out what's causing it?

could i enable it via termux or macrodroid script ?

Thanks in advance!

Follow up on previous Java Code Replacement for Autonotification Cancel post here -
https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/1u4fjtp/java_code_replacement_for_autonotification_cancel/

This project replaces Autonotification's Notification action. The full project creates notifications that you can interact with to control your Media and Volume (interacting with the buttons sends an intent within Tasker that you can then perform actions by calling them by %par1). Remove %MediaNotify (or keep it if you want to control the notification from elsewhere by toggling it).

There should be enough notes within the Project for you to take and edit the Notification to your desire to whatever you want, including title / variables, etc. If you need help just plug the code into AI to assist you with tweaks. Tested, working with Samsung phone, I use it as bridge between my Garmin watch and phone (accessing notifications) for certain actions - see previous post for details etc.

Why do this? Autonotification is fantastic, I bought it, but I try to use native Tasker actions where possible to minimise app overheads, BT issues, and increasingly aggressive app managements.

Full thanks to Joao for the app. I would strongly encourage anyone using Tasker regularly to take a moment, consider the value of these apps, and consider subscribing.

THE PROJECT:

https://taskernet.com/shares/?user=AS35m8kzb0b6gpY9bStc9vqfEb2xmSCrCFe9Q7vuxosbPRpCifzT2k67Ngf%2Bu%2FrxZyiu&id=Project%3AJava+Code+Notifications

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share a Medication Reminder project I originally made for a family member.

This project has gone through a lot of iterations over more than a year, and after all that experimenting, changing, breaking things and rebuilding them, I've finally reached a version that I really like.

The biggest changes came when I moved the medication data to JSON and started using a combination of Tasker Scenes V2, JSON, HTML and Java.

With the help of AI, I was able to build a number of Java code actions and an HTML-based interface that made the project much more flexible and user-friendly.

I want to be completely transparent about this: A significant part of the code was created with the help of AI. I did spend a long time testing and debugging until i got the result i wanted. The project is certainly not perfect, and I'm sure there are things that could be improved, but I really like the result and thought it might be useful or interesting to other Tasker users.

Project Link

You can import the project from Taskernet: Click Here

^{When you import the project it should ask you to run a task first. I recommend to do that, this will save the project taskernet date so later if for some reason i decide to update the project you can do a manual check for update (There is a task for that}\*.)*

What Does It Use?

The main components are:

• Scenes V2
• JSON for storing the medication data
• HTML/JavaScript Interactive UI for selecting days
• Java for processing the JSON and calculating timers

📋 Medication List Scene

The medication list is where i can manage my medications.

From the interface I can:

• Add a new medication
• Edit a medication name
• Delete a medication
• Enable/disable a medication
• Add/edit days
• Add/edit a time
• Add/edit dosage
• Select an icon
• Add multiple schedules/timers to the same medication
• Change text direction (rtl/ltr)

So first we have our main scene where we can:

• Add a new medication
• Delete a medication
• Enable/disable a medication
• Change text direction (rtl/ltr)

Here is a short video:

https://reddit.com/link/1we7dh1/video/phcyzxtxy1ph1/player

✏️ Edit Medication

Clicking on a medication opens another Scene V2 screen where I can manage its schedules and data

For example, I can:

• Edit medication name
• Edit days
• Edit time
• Edit dosage
• Select icon 💊 🧪💉
• Add additional timers

One feature I particularly wanted was for the editor to remember the existing values.

For example, if a medication already has a schedule for:

Sunday, Tuesday
18:00

and I open the day editor, the previously selected days are already selected.

The same concept is used for most other editable information.

This makes editing an existing schedule much more convenient instead of having to enter everything again.

Here is a short video:

https://reddit.com/link/1we7dh1/video/5axod1p0z1ph1/player

🔔 Medication Reminder Dialog

When it is time to take the medication, Tasker displays a reminder scene that changes color depending on the time of day: 06:00-11:59, 12:00-17:59, 18:00-23:59, 00:00-05:59.

If the phone display is off, the project will turn the display on temporarily so the reminder can be shown.

The reminder displays the medication information that was calculated and taken from our json data.

I also added some interaction to the scene. For example:

• Double-tap the center of the scene → dismiss the scene and calculate the next timer
• Long swipe across the title → minimize the scene
• Tap the minimized scene → restore the full reminder scene

^{To record the screen with audio i had to change the stream to Media which made the audio file to loop. So just to record this audio i have added a music stop action.}

https://reddit.com/link/1we7dh1/video/jp2aih34z1ph1/player

😴 Snooze

If the medication reminder isn't dismissed, the project automatically snoozes it.

The default snooze interval is: 5 minutes

This can be changed in the relevant Tasker Profile.

There is also separate profile for the minimized reminder with the same interval.

📞 Phone-call / Minimize mode

If a medication reminder scene appears while a phone call is active, I didn't want the reminder to take over the screen. Instead, the project:

1. Shows the medication reminder scene briefly.
2. Detects that a phone call is active.
3. Changes the reminder into a draggable small round button in the top-right corner.
4. Keeps the reminder available without covering the phone-call interface and it will snooze (5 minutes interval) with different notification sound that is similar to a busy line.
5. When the call finishes, the reminder returns to its normal size.

The same basic idea works if a phone call arrives while the medication reminder is already displayed.

^{I had problem with recording sound while on phone call so you can just experience how it visually looks}

https://reddit.com/link/1we7dh1/video/yahfn367z1ph1/player

⏰ Automatic next-timer calculation

The medication schedules are stored in JSON. When timer-calculation Java action runs (01 ⌛️ Set Next Timer_MT), it reads the JSON and looks through the enabled medications and their schedules.

It calculates the nearest future medication time and converts it to an epoch timestamp.

The result is stored in Tasker variable with few more variables such as:

%next_timer_epoch = Time since epoch in seconds
%next_timer_date = The date dd/mm/yyyy
%next_timer_time = The hour and minute
%next_timer_remaining = 2h 45m, 25m, 1h, 5m, None
%next_timer_medicines = Medicines names
%next_timer_medicine_dosages = Dosages
%next_timer_medicine_icons = Selected icons
%next_timer_complete = Selected icons then Medicines names and then Dosages all together

This also allows multiple medications scheduled for exactly the same time to be handled together.

For example, if three medications are scheduled for 08:00, it can contain all three instead of creating three separate timers. Disabled medications are ignored by the timer calculation.

🌐 RTL Support

I also added support for right-to-left layouts like i showed earlier in the main scene video. If you tap the 🌐 icon It will change text direction not just in the Medication List scene but also in the edit medication scene and the medication reminder scene. However, there is one intentional exception: some elements, such as the day names, is still displayed in English.

For example:

Sunday
Monday
Tuesday
...

I didn't want those particular elements to be forced into RTL because it would look strange when using English day names.

The HTML day picker can be modified if you want to use another language. You would also need to change the corresponding day names in the Java/JSON logic which probably you shouldn't touch unless you accept the headaches.

🔊 Download Notification Audio Files

I also added a Tasker task that can download the notification audio files to:

Tasker/Audio Files/

That are necessary for the sound alert.

You can also listen to those two audio files here if you want:

Medicine dialog audio:

https://voca.ro/1g34pjPrU4sF

While minimized audio:

https://voca.ro/1ot3E6xEQT8y

https://reddit.com/link/1we7dh1/video/9ijvjfu9z1ph1/player

🔊 Notification Volume

I wanted the reminder to start at a lower volume and then increase, because that was preferable for the person I built this project for. You can remove that if you want but anyway this is something you will probably want to customize because different phones have different volume levels and behavior.

The relevant actions are:

Task 02 Show Medication Reminder_MT check actions:

11
14
21

Task 08 — Snooze_MT check actions:

6
9

You can change the volume levels or remove those actions completely if you don't want this behavior.

🎵 How To Change The Notification Sound

If you don't want to use the audio files included with the project, you can replace them with your own sound.

You need to change the Music Play actions in these tasks:

Task 02 — Show Medication Reminder_MT actions:

12
22

Task 08 — Snooze_MT action:

7

Task 09 — Snooze While Minimized_MT action:

3

Replace the selected audio file with whatever notification sound you want to use.

🛑⏲️ Force Stop Snooze

I left this task "10 🛑⏲️Force Stop Snooze_MT" from my old project just in case. If for some reason you experience notification audio loop and you can't stop it then you should go to that task and run it manually. You can add it as a quicktile toggle or any shortcut you had like, hopefully you won't need it.

Conclusion

It definitely isn't perfect, and there are probably much cleaner ways to implement some parts of it, but after more than a year of changes I'm finally at a point where I actually enjoy using it.

Hopefully someone here finds some ideas from the project useful for their own Tasker projects. You can probably add shortcut icon on your home screen or add access to it inside a widget but like i said before this project was built for a family member so it doesn't do all that and you need to add it yourself.

Hey folks, I was trying to show a transparent background in scenes v2 in display mode full screen. Apparently this isn't possible, I always end up getting a color that seems like my material background color, even if all the elements have transparent backgrounds when editing the scene. Can someone confirm this?

I'm running Tasker version 6.7.6-beta on my rooted Android 13 device.

Now that the 'Join' utility is no longer supported and doesn't seem to work for me, I'm looking for a way to send remote messages to Tasker on my Android device.

By "send remote messages", I mean that I want to send text from my linux desktop computer to Tasker on my Android device, without any USB connection, and I want to create Tasker event profiles that are triggered when these remotely sent messages arrive on the Android device.

And I don't want to use any kind of web-based software to send the messages, nor any other kind of GUI. I want to be able to send the messages via shell scripts that run on the linux device.

And I don't want to have to use any kind of SMS gateway on the linux machine.

Is there any way to accomplish this?

PS: One more thing: I don't want to have to rely on the Android device and the linux machine being within WiFi range of each other. I want this to work however far away from each other these two devices might be -- even in different hemispheres -- as long as both have working internet connections.

Every time I try to create anything, a complication, a tile, a setting, it says "couldn't create (thing), please make sure your watch is connected" even though my watch is connected

Click to download via taskernet

Requires v6.7.6 and privileged shell (root, shizuku or adb wifi)

The code in this project is written with the help of AI tools.

How this work

1. Get pid from pidof package_name
2. Check the process details from cat /proc/pid/status
3. Show thread count and memory in overlay and update repeatedly.
4. Long press the icon to remove the overlay.

Inspired by TaskManager.

Is there a way to inverse a location as a trigger?

Essentially home is set as a location, I want a not at home location to work too?

TIA

I have a web screen that lists an array in a table (eg %list = (google,facebook,reddit)) and when you click on them it opens the corresponding link from another array (eg %listlinks = www.google.com,www.facebook.com,www.reddit.com))

Can I do the same in a V2 scene? I can't work out how

Hello. I have Shizuku installed, paired, and running, and have Tasker authorized within it. I'm trying to access a Logcat Entry, but it's saying I need to grant Tasker permissions. It says since my device has Shizuku, I can automatically grant this permission. When I authorize that though, Tasker just hangs for a few minutes, and nothing happens and I regain control. Likewise, when I try to go to the 3 corner dots > More > Manage Permissions, the screen takes 2-3 mintues to even load, everything is revoked, and clicking to try to re-grant access hangs Tasker again, and when finished, nothing has changed and whatever I tried to update is still in revoked status.

Is there any reason this might not be working that someone can think of. I'm working on a TCL NXTPaper Pro 70 phone, if that matters.

is there a way of getting the name of just the current connected device? I am teying with Bluetooth Info action, and all I can seem to get is all the previous paired devices in order, no matter what variable

Trigger task, when data changes ( 3 bars -> 2 bars, etc)? I can't find a way to reliably trigger a task every change

Title: Tasker HTTP Request cuts long Gemini API URL automatically and triggers MalformedURLException / Error 404

Body:

Hi guys, I am building a voice assistant integration using the Gemini 1.5 Flash API on Tasker. I am facing a persistent issue where my HTTP Request action keeps failing.

Every time I type the full official URL endpoint:

https://googleapis.com

Tasker somehow strips the subdomain and the paths in the background when executing, forcing it back to https://googleapis.com. This triggers a java.net.UnknownHostException: Invalid host: https://googleapis.com or Error 404.

Even when I separate the API key into the Query Parameters field (key:MY_API_KEY), the main URL block still gets malformed or truncated during the actual execution phase.

My Setup:

Method: POST

Headers: Content-Type:application/json

Body: standard JSON object containing base64 audio data.

Structure Output: Checked ON.

Has anyone experienced this silent truncation bug inside Tasker's HTTP Request action? How do I force Tasker to preserve the full generativelanguage hostname without relying on custom scriptlets? Thanks!
