I'm a iPhone user for 6 years and this video with the tasker app made me buy an LG JUST NOW!! Not a joke!
Wow! Hope you like the phone. Android is different than iOS but great!
Its a cool app but a jailbroken iphone is with activator is great too
Philip Chidi-Njemanze I don't think you'll find any Iphone app with as much functionality as Tasker, IOS just doesn't give the freedom that android does.
NotAName A jailbroken iphone is quite different from a jailed one, anyone using it will say the same. It's just the location based functions I couldn't do with my 4S. There's probably gonna a similar app for that soon:D. I hate iOS8 tho:'(
no, it's not...
Limiting yourselves to just phones. You can do anything with tasker. I use tasker to start my entertainment center when I pull into the driveway. It also controls my lighting and starts one hell of a good cut of coffee for me in the morning. I know someone who went as far as making it start his car when he left his house.
***** Yes!! That is EXACTLY what I want my phone to do!!! START MY CAR!! Can you please tell me how your friend made Tasker do that for him??? I've been working with it and haven't had any luck. Please let me know.
Thanks in advance!
Scott Watkins seems that many people are using arduinos or raspberry pi to do the task. If you want an easy way look for VIPERS bluetooth Remote car starter. Once installed you can download Bluetooth Auto Connect from android market place and use the plugin in Tasker to force bluetooth on and find your Viper device and turn on. This may be the most expensive approach using tasker. You can also just use the software Viper offers. Hope this helps.
+Scott Watkins Armando Ferreira has a video on that you should check out
in combination with Pushbullet you can remote control your phone and do literally ANYTHING you want from any computer / phone / device that has internet so you ( so you can log in to pushbullet and send messages) all you need is tasker and pushbullet.
Pl give a few examples
tasker was the first android app i ever bought. best money i ever spent
My biggest issue is coming up with ideas to create tasks around!
DIY Tryin I just think about what I go through during the average day/week, and then I consider how my phone could help me with those activities. Essentially, I think it's mainly about integrating your phone into your daily life to help you with what you already do. How can my phone save me time during the day? How can it save me from having to push so many buttons throughout the day? How could it make my life more convenient? How can it make me more organized? How can it make me more productive? How can it make my day a little more enjoyable? I think it starts with those kinds of questions and with some "What if?" brainstorming.
DIY Tryin One of the main considerations I tend to make is "What personal problems could it help me solve?" For instance, my schedule tends to be extremely unpredictable. Yet, I like to get my haircut at regular intervals throughout the year. But, the barber shop doesn't work by appointment (i.e., it's walkin only). As a result, I tend to forget the date of my previous cut, and it's always difficult to tell how many days actually go by from cut to cut. So, last night, I created a task that automatically logs my haircuts in my Google calendar as soon as I arrive at the barber shop. Now, I don't have to remember to manually log haircuts on my calendar. And, I'll always be able to count the days between cuts so that I can maintain a consistent haircut schedule.

i *ｃｏｍ*pletely agree
where the fuck did you get that plugin
If tasker proves to be too difficult to use, I suggest using automagic and/or automateit. Great applications that are super easy to use
have you guys tried Automate?
I created a work out routine, that when the voice command is said, my phone starts a timer for one hour, plays my music, and every 10 minutes I am notified with some encouraging words I set up, it also lets me know when the work out is almost over and when it's over.
I have so many more ideas I love it.
I luv you guys and so enjoy your vids.. but what cool things can tasked do without root.. Ty😘

Taking a picture of someone who fails 3 password attempts is already a very very cool app. It's called Lockwatch. It emails you a picture, a time and location of where the attempt occurred. It also has paid options for detecting sim changes and recording audio.
A friend of mine had his phone stolen from the gym, found the person who took it through the app info, gym security cameras, and gym membership details and was able to get it back. The guy who stole it owned up in face of the evidence and the whole thing was settled without police intervention, within a couple of days!
Pathetic video shooting style, the phone is at a diagonal to the camera, it was so difficult to figure out the screen and your finer movement had to leave midway.
Great intro to Tasker. My phone, I won't mention the brand name but it rhymes with blue, only allows for one audible notification when I receive a text. No flashing light. Nothing. I have one contact who will text me sometimes and if I am dead asleep, I do not notice it until much later. Could I get Tasker to audibly nag me until I respond/unlock? Thanks in advance for any help.
Those HAve Great Graphics Comapred to 2 Android Phones and a tablet i terribly dislike because there sooo flipping sensitive to me npcking a side and it doing something else btw those phone i dislike a flipping stupd samsungs (No Effence To You Samsung Fans i Just Hate Samsung phones)
DIY = DIE nice thinking.. For all those saying you knew about tasker from long ago please shut up because knowing about an app and knowing how to use it is two different things as I see many of you in the tasker Google + community asking annoying children questions on how to make profiles when there's a pretty great manual and tasker wiki to learn from, also I can't see much users purchasing a app with such a deep learning curve. All the profiles they demonstrate in this video are very basic ones and ones that all will like and want to do, but believe me, you don't need a high end device to use tasker but you will need battery as when you want to do advanced tasker profiles you will have to change the display off monitoring settings in tasker.. I own two smn9005's so I am nice for battery...
Hello guys thanks for your educative video, i enjoyed every bit of it, though while i was trying to follow up on the failed login attempt profiling a message popped up saying that the failed login attempts feature is broken on this version of android Google will need to fix the OS for this to work again.
my question is, is there anyway around this? my phone is nexus 5
thanks again guys really appreciate.
Hello everyone!
Was it possible the charging plug be in tablet , and only when it is in 20% tasker free to load and stop the 100 % ?
How could I do this?
Tnks !
It is the most confusing app ever for a first time user. After some time, this is irreplaceable. I've had this for years.
BTW you can set entering and leaving state for the tasks to revert settings instead of making yet another task.
i use tasker to turn on my NAS and computer and text my friends telling them im home when i tap it against the NFC tag on the home charger
Lol watching this on mutt g3And have three of these things set up already. Win!
Hey guys where did you get that secure plugin?
Is very handy to have it silent but they should show how to put it in normal mode after work is done
finally a tutorial with the updated UI. thanks guys.
Motorola has an app pre-installed in their phones called Smart Actions that does a lot of that as well. However, it's ONLY for Motorola phones
There is also trusted devices
Sony has something similar but its very basic
Now to the more interesting question. How much battery does it drain?
You can also send a message when you're out of home without battery!
better yet: when battery is about to die, make a noise telling you to plug it in
Make a Tasker channel or direct me to one because this awesome.
Everyone says you can't see the screen outside on the LG-G3
A tip, for the wifi lock trick, if you hold down the condition, you can select exit task, and you can use your disable lock task for the exit task. That way you don't need a second task. Meanwhile my favorite task, I set my phone to car mode. And if anyone sends me a text it auto replies with a text and a maps link with my location if they are in my approved numbers. I also have a pebble with canvas for pebble (android only), and set my watch to go to a watchface when I start playing music using another app called Media utilities
And last time I checked nothing lit on fire
Love the auto reply task! I played around with exit tasks, but it was easier for me to wrap my head around having two separate tasks (in this case at least).
Can you do a show on NFC tags for cell phones?
i'm usually interested & entertained by your show but in this episode there's too much tedious onscreen gui tapping taking up most of the time. yawn.
Sorry :(, hopefully you'll like next week's episode better. Hint: keep an eye on twitch.tv/rev3games this afternoon/week.
I have a question. I'm trying to do two things at once on Tasker. But can't seem to get it. Ex. I want to run my brightness on high for 30 minutes.
[ Easy. I just have to set brightness as action then time of 30minutes on profile. Then "Go Home" as my exit add on ]
But then every five minutes I want to dim the light. Then after 5mins it return to the brightness set before.
[ To do so I made another profile, input the exact similar time frame then set the every option to 5 minutes. ]
However after dimming it won't go back to the original brightness...
Can Help?!
Does Tasker require the notification bar icon to be there for the app to stay active in the background?
Nope! There's an option to disable that in the preferences.
I've been watching your videos, and they are very well done. but I am finding it very frustrating because the current version is in many ways so different from what you are using. I was trying to follow along in your 3rd Tasker video about creating the macro to turn on the GPS without rooting, and got totally lost when my screen and options were nothing like what you are using (I'm running on a Galaxy S3)
(frustration aside, your version is much prettier, too!)
Using Auto Hue and Auto Voice I finally figured out how to control my brand new Hue lights with voice. Having to load an app to turn the lights on and off every time was a pain. Not now! Love the channel! Keep the videos coming!
Nice intro video for home automation. If you wanna go hardcore go with "Robotium". There is where all the fun starts :D
Thanks for the video, You'll probably want to add an exit task to the headset tasker one though,to quit the menu if the headset is unplugged before choosing an app. Only got tasker a few days ago so I'm not too familiar with it, but I'll have a look over the next few days and figure out how to get that to work.
0:46 I really hope that is Patrick Norton's personal phone and actually has Cisco as his home background. So kawaii
One of my favorites is that when my phone is connected to my car's bluetooth audio, it will read text messages to me, complete with the name of sender, so I'm not tempted to check my phone when I hear a notification sound that I've received an SMS message.
Tasked Tutorials on TH-cam. He also shows how to voice Canaan's from one phone to another using tasker and two rooted phones and shows how to integrate with home automation. Diytryin should do tasker to RPi to the control board that you have.
With the level of access it has to your phone's tools my only concern would be the amount of fuzzing and security screening the app went through before the release. Although that is my main concern with most apps.
Wow, I didn't realize how much tasker can do without root but since I have root so I can do other non-tasker things it wouldn't matter to me.
I've always run rooted phones so I've never tried tasker otherwise. I'm curious if you guys rooted the G3 for this or if everything in this clip was possible without root.
Keep it up, great show!
Theres an option to use your celluar towers near your home to for i.e turn on Wifi. This approach saves battery because your phone is already using cellular info.

FYI, I told Abe Lincoln about Tasker back in the day. How do you think he was able to devise such great speeches?
Brandon Daniels Well that's the power of tasker, you just have to tell another android user about it especially if you know they are more than an average android user. I come from windows mobile 2003 so pre android birth or thought. Windows Mobile 7 came and just ruined it for win phones which as well stopped the use of the raw cab files which as I programmer my mouth drooped, so when I was messing with custom roms and running android off the sd card in my win phone it was like going back in time where as UI is concerned, I mean I knew eventually android would grow and be super in know time but it was a painful wait, I just about used the beta versions androids which some have tried to give names to, which at the time there was no name or hype so it's just BS if you hear some names flying around. That aside though I did see simple potential in cupcake wait.. wait... painful... wait.. then gingerbread landed wooo, ice cream straight after in know time because it seems many so called world wide Web so called tech geeks were too broke to purchase a tablet so honeycomb was in between the versions to perfect tablet slowly but surely because android knew apple and windows were already making from the get go all there apps versatile with ipads tablets and the mobile device versions to them. Mouthful but yep, Android is clearly the winner, I am not rich and so are millions of people but they still don't get it, they go around with an iPhone and can't even afford the rent each month and they holding onto something that is overpriced and holds it price, I always say it, there's no point looking rich around friends and circles then when everyone goes home your the only one who ain't going to a place where you can just about charge the iPhone lool. . Pointless starving and being cold for a device just to fit into a silly circle. Rotfl
Looking for the best way to get selected channels. Netflix...etc
i tried the intruder one, but my secure setting doesn't seem work on my zenfone 5, any idea what should i do?
I've just bought Tasker and I want to set it up to start my car. Can you guys help me out here? Love your channel; keep up the GREAT work!!
Sorry.. You can't start a car with tasker :P

6:10 How do you use third part programs? I installed it but it isn't showing up in Tasker.
He's from a time when reliable face unlock was just a dream! ~happy tears~
Yet some people are stupid..
Honestly, i'm afraid to root my device. I dont know enough about it.
I wish it's available on the iPhone. Now to try and find an Android phone with a 4" screen so I can use it with one hand (I'm afraid of getting another stroke and need to keep my brain entertained while recovering).
Iphone had this long ago..its called activator
Aw, it's only for jailbroken devices. I guess that's why I'm installing iOS 8 onto my iPod Touch to test it out.
see kids? this is why Android is the best... Apple is way behind with their technology.
I made a task so if the battery is running low the energy safe mode turns on. Great app.
Thats my phone!
the intruder one is setup on my phone think i will try it on my tab s next
I want that phone
this is confusing and not easy???
Lee Trumbull full screen it and stop the vid on each section or rewind to redo..took two trys but i have the truder tasker macro set up..but as i have the finger print setup too i think the truder voice command doesn't work..but when i looked on att locker it had my photo four times in testing
Second.
First?
Lg G3 or note 4
GREAT TUTORIAL GUYS :)
I like the dalek in the back
I accidentally killed it with large sparks of static electricity. I swear I didn't mean to exterminate!
Were those phones rooted?
no
C++?
Tasker is a prime example of the great UNIX motto: "If it was hard to write, it should be hard to use" and MAN IT IS!!!! Unless you are a committed geek and are ready to spend over thirty hours decoding this UI nightmare, just live without the damn function.
you can thank me later
Agreed
+Hugh Hemington Try AutoMateIt Pro - UI is a lot more friendly and does all of the same things.
+Hugh Hemington Have a look at Automagic. It's about as powerful as Tasker (more in some areas, less in others), can do basically everything Tasker does but without all the plugins Tasker requires, and is VERY simple to use. The interface works by "drawing" your scripts in flowcharts!
I was making good scripts after just the 3 minute tutorial.
+Hugh Hemington And also...you are absolutely right. I had Tasker for a year and tried the tutorials 5 times. Every time, it wore me down before I got a project well-started.
Great video guys, thanks
