Waze is the normal trigger), goes back to previous when AC disconnects Tracking Related: Uploads my location to my web server every 10 minutes - And if upload fails, store it and try again later (offline collection) Can upload my location as often as every 5 seconds in another "mode" Recovery: If I receive an SMS or EMail with a certain phrase in it, it'll act on a command in the email/SMS - Example: One command sends back location, current phone number, last call in, last call out, last sms # in, last sms # out, battery level, some other misc stuff responded to the email or sms it came from, as well as pictures from the front and rear camera synced to Dropbox If the phone number on the phone changes (ie: SIM changes), it'll kick off the above example and send it every 5 minutes to a predefined SMS If 2 failed attempts to unlock the phone are made, fire off the same profile in the above example for pix, location, etc Utilities: Download some geocaching data from my server every night and unzip it ready to be imported Based on location, dings me if I'm still at the house at 7:25 to remind me to get moving to drop off daughter at school - if I'm still at work to pick up at 5pm Dings every 2 minutes if I've missed a phone call, sms, or voice mail Tells sleepbot I'm going to sleep and triggers my Night profile if it's after a set time and it's on AC and flipped face-down If Car Home is running, launch Waze for navigation - and when we've stopped Waze and AC is unplugged, stop Car Home and turn off - Also uploads my parking location to my Tracking website - Also records my locaton, which I can quickly use to launch Maps to see my parking location Widget that when ran, turns off GPS, waits a second, then runs a News app - Because the news app is f'ing braindead and stalls until it gets a GPS lock - And when we exit the news app, kill it, turn on GPS again. Widget that when ran counts down a predefined time, lowering volume, and eventually doing a MEDIA stop. ie: Music fade - Current Volume = OrigVol - (OrigVol * x^(x/%FADETIME%*.9) / 100 ) - x = Minutes passed since start? Screen off on my tablet turns off wifi and bluetooth; and when opened up again, it turns them back on if they were previously on - When the devices wakes up it draws two small buttons at the top right of the screen to enable bluetooth (for tethering) if no wifi; and go away when wifi connects Puts phone into suspend mode if upside down. This way if it turns on in my pocket, it goes back to sleep immediately - Unless the phone is ringing or I'm on a call Run a script which backs up my SD card to my Linux workstation nightly - Uses Secure Settings, sh script, rsync, enables wifi if it's off before starting 1% battery notification icon - With 5m, 15m, and 60m battery usage estimates If tablet has been asleep for 6 hours, battery is <25%, and not connected to power, power off. If it's after 8pm with power plugged in and I plug in speakers, start playing music, - Also start music sleep timer which slowly drops volume over a set period Or with a new tablet and Qi, I detect my Qi charger, Tasker connects to my $5 bluetooth receiver, starts music - Then music timer, etc, same as old night music profile. Just drop tablet on charger to initiate, no plugging in anything. Use Autoremote to trigger tasks from PC script or from Web - Turn on adbwifi, send location, make noises (couch cushion transponder!), back up SD, force one of my profiles, back up SMS, etc, are typical tasks I've connected Recieve, log, and display push notifications from apps such as IRC Highlights Sends a URL to my lighting automation web server to turn off the lights when I plug in at night or on when I unplug in the morning Weather: Shows the current temperature in the notification bar with a notification having current conditions in it - Has a widget on the homescreen with current conditions icon - Second hidden widget on the homescren for alerts - Tapping either icon will show current conditions and a short forecast or the alert - Tapping a button on the forecast/alert will read it to me (or I could do it by default) - Alerts are a sound notification so I can hear it and look - Could easily alert me when there's upcoming rain, cold, heat, etc - Checks for weather updates every 2 hours, but checks for severe weather every 15m - Alerts me if there are significant barometric pressure drops based on maritime guidelines NFC (NFC ReTag calling Tasker): Work tag, set a NFC_WORK variable, that if set, never changes from my Work profile - Until I get in the car and the tag in my car cradle is scanned, or it's after 5:30 Car tag, enable Bluetooth GPS Provider which connects to my bluetooth GPS, starts Car Home Sleep tag, same as flipping the phone on its face mentioned earlier, but really don't use this one much
