Tasker (Android)

Hey, are there any news on Tasker-Support on android?
Like suggested here:
https://forum.athom.com/discussion/comment/5366/#Comment_5366

But I couldn't find any confirmation. @superice ;


Creating a Tasker-Plugin should be the best solution. Will this be featured right from the start?

    What would you like to use it for specifically?

    For example:
    If phone charger is plugged, all volumes down, between 2100—2300 on Monday - Thursday; start sleep flow (hue's off, motion sensors hot, etc.)

    Creating a flow event 'when the phone is charging' would suffice, no?

    That would be ok for this purpose. I dont know what features the android app has at this point.

    I think more about something like:
    Starting kodi app on Smartphone, starts chromecast Stream and triggers flow: dimming hue lights, turn tv on, switch to chromecast Channel.

    Or just as a workaround until the app features speech recognition:
    Autovoice -> Tasker -> Homey
    Ok google, i am coming home -> Homey turns up Temperature

    Is that flow able to check if my phones volume/sound if down/off? 

    If Casting started[don't know if its possible with tasker] to Sony AndroidTv started, turn on Sony AndroidTV and switch TV input to Casting.

    @Emile: I'll quote myself from another thread here ... :wink:

    Here are a couple:

    - When phone rings and TV/media player/etc. is playing then send pause command
    - When SMS is received flash living room light
    - On phone notification flash led ring (perhaps even a specific color for a specific notification, f.e. green for a WhatsApp notification)
    - When "app" does this then trigger this flow
    - when battery level is below 15% let me know

    Having all this in the app would be awesome, a Tasked plugin however would bring the same functionality and probably more and might be the quicker route.

    Other idea, don't know if is feasible...Use a Tasker plugin to send commands to your Tasker app on your android phone to control Spotify Connect running on your phone. That way you have a (sort of) Spotify Connect integration on Homey which can control your receiver/Sonos .

    I think, Tasker http actions together with homey http support and boolean logic from better logic could bring a lot of love.

    Use Autoremote for your phone and http app for homey
