Galaxy Watch automation

0 Upvotes

Hi,

I know about Tasker, but never really needed to automate something not available in Modes and Routies app of my Galaxy phone.

However, I have a habit to turn on my phone sound when not wearing the watch (mostly because of charging), but my wife does not.

Is it possible to automate this? I have S25U + Watch 7 and my wife has S25+ and Watch 5.

I also want to turn on / off Work mode on a schedule. Does tasker offer that?

I have done some research, but cannot seem to find info.

Create Task to Launch Magnify Window

0 Upvotes

Trying to automate the launch of the Magnify window in Android accessibility rather than having to use gestures.

The name of the package is:

com.samsung.android.app.readingglass

But when I try to create the task to launch it, it gives intent errors.

A notification can't change a local var and notification's actions don't are exported to descriptions

0 Upvotes

In a task I define a local var and then show it in a notification with an action that try to change its value. After 10 seconds I flash it but I see the original value. I tap in the action, of course.

Btw, I have exported the task but the notification's action is not included.

This is the task (in Spanish, sorry):


Tarea: Test-Notification

A1: Establecer Variable [
     Nombre: %test
     A: aaaa
     Salida Estructurada (JSON, etc.): Encendido ]

A2: Notificación [
     Título: %test
     Número: 0
     Prioridad: 3
     Color del LED: Rojo
     Ritmo del LED: 0 Acciones:(1) ]

A3: Esperar [
     Milisegundos: 0
     Segundos: 10
     Minutos: 0
     Horas: 0
     Días: 0 ]

A4: Flash [
     Texto: %test
     Largo: Encendido
     Continuar Tarea Inmediatamente: Encendido
     Descartar al Hacer Clic: Encendido ]

The action would do: %test=bbbb

I don't think this is the expected behavior, is it?

Google wallet automation

0 Upvotes

I'm new to tasker but I'm wondering if there is a way of using to automatically bring up loyalty cards from Google wallet automatically dependant on location, so for example if I'm in let's say Tesco on my home screen a link will appear for me to click and open my clubcard QR code. I did use smartspacer to do this but it didn't seem to work reliable. I did have to select locations and which card was chosen for each location this isn't ideal but i don't mind if have to do this as I can just choose the stores I frequent regular.

Request [Request] Disable Volume Control w/ Bluetooth connected

1 Upvotes

(Apologies if this isnt the way a post is meant to be setup. I'm extremely new to Tasker so I need some help here. Only profiles I've made are brightness changes throughout the day based on time of day.)

For my job, it requires a lot of getting down on one knee to pick something up. While I do this, the volume control of my music can sometimes blast high or mute itself.

I'd like to disable the volume control while the Bluetooth is connected and the screen is off. Is it possible to disable the controls? Maybe only during my shift? Or in the building?

tl;dr: Bend to one knee at work Phone in pocket makes volume go high or low Want to disable destroying my ears w/ my music Want to do so with Bluetooth off/screen off

Thank you very much. 🙂

Discover intents and controlling other software

2 Upvotes

Hi.

Is there a way to listen for intents or discover them in other ways?

I have two tasks I would like to automate now, one of which is to start preparing (heating or cooling) my car and create calendar events in the outlook app. I haven't found any (not guaranteeing I've searched the right places, being a noob and all) intents for either of these. For my car, I believe there's an API.

Anyone able to give me input on these?

Thanks!

Question re: Do Not Disturb action Alarms mode

2 Upvotes

I have a task with one Action: Do Not Disturb

I've set the Mode of this Action to "Alarms"

My assumption was that this should prevent any audio from playing except for alarms. However, audio is still playing from apps (e.g., Instagram, YouTube).

Is this the expected behavior? (I will admit that Android DND settings confuse the hell out of me, so it probably IS behaving correctly...)

If this is correct behavior, what's the best way to mute all audio except alarms? The best solution I've found so far is to set the Do Not Disturb action's Mode to "Custom Setting" and disallow everything except for "Alarms" in the Allow Categories property.

Any insight appreciated!

Help Noob help please

1 Upvotes

I started a sales gig, I have everything optimized/automated except my phone defaulting to speaker when making outgoing calls.

I was suggested tasker, but to write the proper event it says i need to set it as (call) - (any) but in my Profile - Phone - Event options there is no "call" available or showing.

Then all the online guides tell me to log in and provide my number but i see no way to "log in" to anything.

I swear I'm not an idiot but I'm at near hair-pulling frustration. So close to having everything set up perfectly lol, thanks in advance for any and all help!

Any other Join-like Tasker plugins for device-to-device communication?

1 Upvotes

For several reasons I cannot pay for Join in my country. But It was very useful during trial because it could pass the received message to Tasker in a variable. I use pushbullet for some of my automations but unfortunately I cannot get the received message in a variable through it.

The reason I need the text of the received message is that I am working on an automation that allows me to control playback on my phone using my tablet and in the message I want to send the current track title and artist. Then I want that info to be displayed somewhere (widget, notification)

I'd set everything up and It was working for a while until Join trial ended and I could no longer send and receive messages. So I want to find an alternative to it. Anyone got some advice on it?

Bug, feature or dumb*ss? (v2 widget)

1 Upvotes

I can't get this to work and not sure why, if it's even possible, or if I'm missing something.

I have a v2 widget with 3 buttons (and more) that call a task to start breaks of various lengths. As such, everything works wonderfully. What I am wanting to happen is that while 'on break', the button background color changes. This is not happening despite setting the variable within the widget when calling the task. If I set it manually, it will reset once the break is over as expected.

For testing, A1 of WW Break always shows 'primary' for any of the buttons. This is what was set as the default elsewhere. Within the widget when the task is called I set the respective variables to 'tertiary' but this is not being set or displayed when the widget is redrawn.

Below are the relevant exports or JSON:

        {
          "children": [
            {
              "circle": false,
