[GUIDE][Difficulty: Beginner] Enable 'Smart Lock' on Bluetooth LE devices - Tasker Tips & Tricks

Android 5.0 Lollipop added the ability to keep your device unlocked so long as you stay connected to a trusted bluetooth device. Dubbed "Smart Lock", the feature is quite useful if you own a smart wearable that you keep on you at all times. However, Smart Lock is unavailable for devices that connect to your phone via Bluetooth Low Energy. Some manufacturers offer the ability to simulate Smart Lock through keeping their app on in the background (such as Xiaomi's Mi Band and the Mi Fit app), but others do not.
If you, for instance, own a basic Fitbit or one of the new Honor Z1 bands among others, then you'll be able to keep your phone unlocked so long as your wearable is in range of your phone by following this Tasker guide.
Prerequisites
Secure Settings plug-in
Bluetooth 4.0 LE enabled device
A Bluetooth LE Scanner app
Instructions
Ensure that Secure Settings is set as a Device Administrator by opening the app and going to the Preferences screen. This is so the plugin has the ability to enable/disable the lockscreen.
Bring your phone and your device close together. Open the BLE Scanner app you downloaded above, and press SCAN.
Write down the MAC ID of the device that shows up at the top of the list. This should be the address of the Fitbit or other wearable, in case the name doesn't properly populate.
Click + to create a new Profile and name it "Watch Near" or anything else you want.
Select the State context, then select "BT Near" under "Net."
Once you're in the BT Near setting, type in the Bluetooth Address that you wrote down earlier under "Address." Additionally, select "Low-Energy (LE) Devices" and "Unpaired Devices". Leave everything else unchecked and/or default.
Press the back key to save and exit the context setup.
Tasker will now ask you to set up a new task associated with this context. Click on "New Task" and optionally give the task a name. Before we move on, here's a picture of what the context screen should look like.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Now that you've got the context set-up, we're going to make a simple entry and exit task to correspond to when your phone connects/disconnects to your smart wearable.
Plugin --> Secure Settings. Under the Dev Admin Actions dropdown, select Password/Pin. Make sure that the box is set as "DISABLED" and that Device Admin Enabled is checked. Press the save icon up top to exit, then press the back key once you're back in Tasker.
Press back once more to exit the task creation. Now expand the Profile you just created by tapping on its name. Long-press on the Task that launches, the select "Add Exit Task."
Within this new task, you're going to do the opposite of what you did above. Plugin --> Secure Settings. Select Password/Pin under Dev Admin Actions again, but this time change the box to "ENABLED" and set up the password or pin code that you desire. Exit out all the way after you're done.
That's it! Your phone should now automatically disable the pin/password when your bluetooth device is in range, otherwise it will re-enabled it. You can expand the power of this task by adding some alerts for when your device and phone disconnects, the choice is up to you!

Smart Lock already works with regular bluetooth devices out of the box, so I wouldn't recommend using Tasker for that. But yes, if you put in the Bluetooth MAC ID into Tasker it will work the same way.

Does not work with my meizu pro5 and Xiaomi mi band 1s (Android 5.1.1)
Still I need to put my finger on finger scanner or putting the pin code to unlock the device

Will it break the device protection and the encryption

This is great thanks, I am using this with a cheap Bluetooth tracker keyring I got from eBay for 99p.
Edit
I need to test this a little more with the tag. The tag seems to power its self off which means it doesn't then trigger BT Near.

Where is the Secure Settings plug-in? There is an app of that name, by intangibleObject - is that what you mean?

The Secure Settings Plugin is in an app called "Tasker".
However, having setup this instructions it seems to me that Secure Settings or TAsker never triggers a lockscreen/password protection to be active. What is your default state ? OS Version ? Do you have any initial password options enabled ?

I haven't had time to try it yet - I am on Marshmallow and have a BT LE step counter to test it with, when I have a chance.

Please Do. It works but somehow Timing of tasker to Check connection is not really good

This can be accomplished using the delayed lock app in conjunction with the Tasker plugin without having to use secure settings

Tasker Profile - In Car Use

I recently picked up Tasker, and so am trying to figure my way around how to use it for my in-car install. However, I can't seem to figure out, what is probably the most important piece, getting the screen to switch off / airplane mode to switch on when I remove power. I have installed Secure Settings plug in, but everything I have tried so far to get the screen to switch off has failed. I am sure I am missing something simple here.
Also, is there a way to have Tasker kill all open apps, instead of having to individually list apps?
Thanks.
Edit: Should have put this in the apps section.
Edit Again: Figured out the screen switching off, System Lock did the trick. For some reason it is not killing open apps though when the power is removed.
New profile>name it whatever>State Context>Hardware>Usb Plugged>Invert
New task>name it whatever>hit the "+" button>app>kill app>specifiy app (you'll have to do this for every single app).
alternatively, you could do:
new task>name it whatever>hit the "+" button>script>run shell> type a command that kills all apps, and check "use root". i dont know what command can be used to kill all apps though, lol, so...

Exit task. And what you want is Display->Lock to switch off the screen. As for Airplane mode, I believe that does require Secure Settings to toggle, but that should be pretty easy. Assuming you're rooted and the Secure Settings Helper is installed (see its app) directly.

This is dumb. That's all I'm going to say about this subject.
Thanks for the replies, I am rooted and do have Secure Settings installed, I will have to look into Airplane mode some more as I don't see it listed under the Secure Settings addon.
Is there a good guide anywhere for Tasker? I tried via their site, but most of the links were dead. When I connect power to the Nexus, Bluetooth comes on, but I also want it to use my phone for internet access (Settings -> Bluetooth - Paired Devices - Use for internet access). It seems like everytime Bluetooth goes off, that box becomes unchecked, and currently I hvae to manually go in and check it again. I am guessing I need a script to do that, but I have no clue how to write a script to do so, and can't find much by the way of help / tutorials (I admit though, I am at work, and have not spent a huge amount of time searching).

Tasker google groups is the place to go.
Make 2 profiles, 1 for power on 1 for power off. Open secure setting,the option is there to install helper.Then when you set new task select plugins,then secure setting that will appear now that helper is installed.Airplane mode is there.As for screen on and off, set screen off 23 hours 59 mins under power on profile , set screen off 7secs(minimum) under power off.
The other 2 profiles are timed according to daylight so the brightness decreases at night increases in the day.I wouldnt use the kill app function it doesnt play nicely and causes some crashing issues at shutdown thats why mine are disabled.

[Guide] How to automatize your life with your Pebble

Introduction:
So you have a Pebble and you love how you can check your emails and mute your boss's call without even looking at your phone?
It's all really cool, but if you're anything like me, that's just not enough. You want to do more with even less effort.
How can we expand the possibilities to near-infinity?
With the help of three awesome apps:
- Tasker [Paid]
- AutoPebble [Free/Paid]
- PebbleTasker [Paid]
Other apps mentioned in this guide:
- Canvas for Pebble [Free]
- Calendar for Pebble [Free]
Note: You can use the free version of AutoPebble, but Tasker is a must.
I believe most of you know how powerful tool Tasker is, so imagine all those possibilities on your wrist and let's do something practical:
The Basics of AutoPebble:
Every watchapp, that has a companion app or a settings in the Pebble app communicates through the Pebble app itself.
AutoPebble's purpose is to intercept and filter these communications right from Tasker and execute tasks accordingly.
My favorite feature is the ability to start watchapps on your Pebble.
One of my profile:
When I press button DOWN in Canvas it will load the Calendar watchapp.
1) To be able to load an app, we need to know the apps UUID (it's an id that is unique to every app):
a) start the AutoPebble app on your phone (you don't have to install the watchapp, it is for more advanced stuff) and make sure the "Automatically Detect" is ticked.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
b) now start the Calendar watchapp on your Pebble, AutoPebble should recognise its UUID.
c) in AutoPebble open "Manage Other Pebble Apps" and longpress on the new entry, it is convenient to rename it to Calendar, now longpress again and Enable it
(if AutoPebble doesn't recognise an app, you have to manually type in the UUID, Calendar's one is: b41e3dcf-6162-4147-9c58-643e1091fb93)
d) now you have to do the same with Canvas (it's UUID is 654db887-5135-4b22-be8b-2e1b5c0cb49d)
(you have to do this procedure for every watchapp you'd like to interact with)
2) Open Tasker and create a new task:
a) add an action to it: Plugin->AutoPebble App
b) click on Configuration and scroll down to Other Pebble App, choose Calendar from the list
c) click on Action and choose Open
Note: now if you execute the task, the Calendar watchapp should start on your Pebble
3) Check the buttons and values we want to trigger the task:
a) open AutoPebble app on your phone
b) check Log other Apps
c) go to Log Listing
d) press the button on your Pebble while in Canvas (Canvas' button's are 200 and values are CL_S1 for UP, CL_S2 for SELECT and CL_S3 for DOWN)
4) Open Tasker and create a new profile:
a) choose State->Plugin->AutoPebble Other App
b) click on Configuration
c) App: Canvas
d) Direction: Watch To Phone
e) Key Filter: 200
f) Value Filter: CL_S3
Important: to make this work, uncheck every watchface in the Canvas app, except the active one
Now if you press the DOWN button while in Canvas, Tasker will catch the command and launch the Calendar watchapp.
Additional notes: This only works with watchfaces that actually send commands to the phone and sadly the BACK button cannot be intercepted.
PebbleTasker:
PebbleTasker is a handy watchface, that lets you execute any Tasker task on your phone. I'm no Tasker guru, but I use it to mute my phone, turn on/off tethering, and launch more watchfaces.
If you launch the PebbleTasker app on your phone, you can assign 3 Tasker task to the three button and one-one to longpress UP/DOWN.
If you click on "More..." and "Select Tasks for menu" you can assign another 20 tasks to the list which comes up if you longpress SELECT.
Tip: If you create an AutoPebble App task with a "Key filter: 0" you can start Canvas (or anything) on a button press in PebbleTasker while the task is being executed on your phone.
Outro:
This guide only covers the very basics of these awesome apps, but if you grasp these concepts you can do pretty much anything Tasker can do without taking out your phone and make app switching on your Pebble more dynamic.
I hope you appreciate my guide and find it useful. :fingers-crossed:
Not so bright... I have the calendar on Pebble but can't do anything with it. This step:
d) press the button on your Pebble (Canvas' button's are 200 and values are CL_S1 for UP, CL_S2 for SELECT and CL_S3 for DOWN)
WHICH button on my Pebble?
@rogerperk:
The one you want to use to start calendar. It can be any one of the UP, SELECT, DOWN.
This step's reason is to see what commands the buttons in different watchapps send to the phone (or to check if they send any).

Well I must be doing something wrong because I get to step 3 (check buttons) and it doesn't work.
You have Canvas and Calendar in AutoPebble's "Manage Other Pebble Apps" list?
Are they enabled?
Is "Log other Apps" turned on?
Is there any info in the "Log listing"?

Maybe I"m missing something. I now have calendar and weather on my up and down buttons. But I thought they would open those programs from my main watchface, which is a Canvas face. Instead I have to go into PebbleTasker, through the menu, on my watch and activate them. Is that right??
PebbleTasker simply starts Tasker tasks on your phone. To be able to use the buttons we have to use AutoPebble.
Also, Canvas have to be installed as a watchapp, because watchfaces can't send commands to your phone.

find my mobile?

I have a VZW note 5 and I don't have the find my mobile option in settings, was this excluded for VZW or am I missing something on my phone?
Thanks!

the reviews on that app aren't very good, I've watched a couple of Note 5 tips and tricks youtube videos and it seems to be baked in on some devices. I think both videos used AT&T phones, so maybe that's it?
I think it's pretty good and easyu to use. Just install the app and login into Google account. If you lose your phone, login to your Google account and type find my phone. That's all. Simple.

i've been using that app for a while now. it's no longer even a matter of it ever updating my current device anymore - it has never shown the correct device at all. you're better off going to the webpage version.

Find my Mobile's pretty cool and I used it on my international devices for years when there was no ADM. Surprisingly, AT&T didn't maim it. It's easy to use and manage across multiple devices and is both fast and accurate even on "GPS only." Here's what it can do.

I have Find My Mobile, but I don't have reactivation lock...and that sucks as it was a pain to bypass
So I guess it's a per carrier or per market thing. I'll give ADM a try.

It very well might be. A few years ago Rogers had their own location system just like findmymobile, they did take out the native location system on their phone until they decided to discontinue their service and put the option back in.

I've had Cerberus for years. But its very easy to get around if you know what it is and what it does. I always used it in tandem with Samsung's security. Samsung has the option to render the power button useless...you cannot turn off the phone unless you remove battery or let the phone drain. Battery removal wise, can't do it with my last 2 phones (s6 and note 5), so if somebody stole my phone I could have easily locked it and used Cerberus to spy on the thief and had a few hours to find him. Now, if anybody steals my phone all he has to do is vol down + home + power until phone turns off and flash with odin, then wipe in recovery. At least with reactivation lock my phone would have been a paper weight

How to enter username & password for connecting to WiFi network in office?

Hi,
Kindly help me to automate this task using Tasker.
I am using Oneplus 3 with CM14.1. I have already created a task which automatically enables Wifi whenever I am near to home or office (using Cella near). That is working fine.
In my office, whenever we connect to WiFi, it is showing a notification asking to enter username and password. I have to enter the username and password every time when I disconnect and reconnect.
How can I automate this authentication process using Tasker?
These are the screenshots :-

I guess AutoInput can do this. Save your user name and password to a file on your phone. Let Tasker pull this information and AutoInput put it in there. That is what I would try to do.

Downloaded and tried. Not able to create tasks as required. I am looking for steps by step instructions.
I can't get AutoInput to work either.
But if you are rooted you can use just tasker. Then you dont have to install an extra app.
To do so create a task and add a Run Shell.
Check the button Use Root and under command you add:
Code:
input tap x y
input text login-name
input tap x y
input text login-password
input tap x y
With x and y being the coordinates of the fields where you tap. If you need to figure out these you can turn on pointer position under developer options.
That should work.
But remember that your password will be readable by anybody with access to your phone. Maybe you should lock tasker with a pin code, although that adds just a tiny bit of security.

Thanks for reply. I guess, it works. I would like to know how to open web login page as soon as I connect to wireless network. Usually a notification appears as soon as I connect to wifi then I have to open the web login page from notification bar. How do I automate this as well?
Maybe AutoInput can help you. When the notification arrived AutoInput tap it and open the browser for you.

Sorry kinda thought there would appear a popup window.
If you click on the notification and it opens in the browser, is there a link you could enter manually?
If so you could add another action to open the link. Use Net-> Browse URL to open the link and then do as I said before.
If there is no link you could add Display->Status Bar and select expanded. This will open your notification drawer and with another input tap you could select the notification. But that is getting kinda complicated , if the notification isn't always in the same place...
Kinda hard to figure out a good way, without being able to test it so maybe you have to tweak it a little.

Will it perform the same action as a shell command or will it just open the link, without the need to emulate the swipe and click?
I am not sure how she'll comands works. I never used it. AutoInput will simulate the klick. Swiping are only available at Android 7 when I remember right. But the Klick on the notification opens the browser right? If so then you can have the login information stored in a file and copy and past it with AutoInput in. Then Klick login with AutoInput and you are done.

But the Klick on the notification opens the browser right? If so then you can have the login information stored in a file and copy and past it with AutoInput in. Then Klick login with AutoInput and you are done.

The shell just pretends that the user tapped at the given coordinates, so the display has to be on and you can watch your device doing things. So I would guess AutoInput does the same, but without the need for root...

TaskerAuto
TaskerAuto allows you to run Tasker tasks from your headunit. That's pretty much it.
I have some home automation gear at home and wanted to open my garage door from the headunit. I already had a Tasker task to do it, so why not be able to run any task from Android Auto?
If you use something like Home Assistant, it means you can do basically anything with your home automation from your car.
How to use:
1. Open TaskerAuto on your phone and select which tasks you want to be available in-car.
2. Have developer mode enabled in Android Auto.
3. Click on the little gauge icon in Auto (on far right) and select TaskerAuto.
4. Your list of tasks should appear. Clicking a task will run it.
Thanks to Emil Borconi from this thread for helping me get the app to run in the last tab.
EDIT: For some reason I can't attach files. Google Drive Link. Puu.sh Mirror
Great idea!
I'll check it. :good:
However, I have another "complementary" idea: Use some Bluetooth hot number in the phonebook for triggering Tasker actions. With this you can also trigger the same actions "dialing" the code... Useful when the AA is not running.
If you like to include also this other function, please contact with me (I have one indirect mode to do it).

Hi!
I use other tools compatible with Tasker. It's this App working as a Tasker plug-in, or it can only work with Tasker?
I ask this because I don't see anything when I open this App.
Thanks for the idea, and sorry it's not working for you =(
I'm using the query described here:
tasker.dinglisch.net/contentprovider.html
to retrieve the list of tasks. So it's not really running as a plugin, and it may only work with Tasker.

OK, thank you for sharing it.
One suggestion: You like to incorporate an alternative mode to trigger actions? For example sending a broadcast EVENT or similar? For example, see the documentation of Tasker plugins: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/plugins-intro.html
One option is create a "Event Plugin" and add to your App a list of actions (Action1, Action2, etc.), then any user can link these actions to Tasker Events in any compatible App.
For example, try these two free Apps compatible with Tasket plugins:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.automate
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bartat.android.robot
You agree?
Hi @MostoX,
Any option to upgrade your source code supporting Tasker "Event Plugin"?

Sorry manos I don't have time to do that. But if you'd like to take a look at it, I can put the source up somewhere. It's very simple.

Ok. Then, please craete a GitHub account an put your project there. Then we can do some mods for improving it.
You agree?
Hi again,
Code can be found here: https://github.com/IVData/TaskerAuto
Dude, thank you! :good::good::good:
Hi, when I run the app, there is no list of tasks, it's just blank. Any idea why? Tasker is definately running (there are active tasks).

Thank you, that solved the issue with the list.
I also had to change some settings in the developer menu to get the tasks to show up in the car menu. Working great now.
I love your app!
Improvement suggestion:
Automatically change the colors of the task list with day/night time. During the night the white is extremely bright on the screen.

Hi,
The tasks are not showed in my car menu.
I can't realize this step :
3. Click on the little gauge icon in Auto (on far right) and select TaskerAuto.
In which application ?
"I also had to change some settings in the developer menu to get the tasks to show up in the car menu."
Could you indicate the details of the modifications in the developper parameters.
Thanks for your help.

The shortcut is the one on the far right in the bottom black navigation bar. See picture below:
http://www.vwcarnetconnect.com/images/android-auto-os.png
These are the settings I have enabled in the developers menu (translated from dutch so may be slightly different):
- Application mode: developer
- Disable ANR check
- Unknown sources

Hi Pierreken,
Thank you vey much for your help.
All is ok now. I can use this useful app.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks fot the app.
But after the last Android auto update.. it's not longer showing under the shortcut, instead shows an app list for AA.
Thank you and sorry for my english
I found android auto (official not available in the netherlands, but got apk mirror), understanding you can build plugins for it... thats how i found this tread. Sounds like a great plugin.
Toke a while until i found out how to enable developer mode for android auto in the newest version.
https://developer.android.com/training/auto/testing/index.html#phone
so.. you have to tab the header 10 times in the about screen before the menu option is available.
however now thats done.. tasker is open.. task is selected in the app... but no option/plugin/shortcut is available inside the dashboard of android auto. Is it only available on the screen of your car, or should it also be available on your phone display (i only have the last one).
Or is the plugin not working with the most recent version of android auto?
I want to run a navigation program in phone, and then run android auto mirroring code, so to have one android auto shortcut to make both..
Can i do this somehow with this?
Thanks,

I cant seem to get this menu to appear? i have developer mode enabled, disabled ANR and enabled unknown sources, but when i click the icon on the far right i only see return to chevy mylink button. nothing else.
I have a samsung s8 non root if that matters.
any help would be great, as i cannot seem to get any unknown source android auto apps to work.
