This guide will show you how to make the app Screen Filter auotmatically activate to your preset level when you lower the brightness to the bottom/lowest setting on the TF dock.
This is useful say if say you want to read something like a book or at night, but making it much more natural and quick to activate.
You will need:
The app Tasker from the market to activate the app, and of course screen filter itself.
Tasker is £4 and screen filter is free. Tasker can do tons of things like this so go buy it immediately and stop being cheap - it is awesome!
1) Download the attached Tasker profile and save it to SDcard > Tasker > Profile(ensure to unzip it to that location!!)
2) Open Tasker and click Menu > Profile data > Import one profile. Select the profile that you just saved to the SD card.
3) Ensure the profile has a green tick next to it, exit and save as you do so by clicking apply.
If you get any odd behaviour, open tasker, press OFF in the bottom right corner, then click apply. Then open tasker again, change it to ON and click apply again.
If you want to lower /raise the filter level then in tasker tap on the profile and click edit task. Step 2 has the screen filter config, change that % to your desired level. Then click OK and Done and then Apply to save it all.
Enjoy!

Yo, I have been searching for ways to wake up Google Now with a simple keyword or phrase such as "Hi Google" or "Okay Google Now" like how they did it on the new Moto X. I have found one solution to it but it isn't a very good one.
--
1. Bought Tasker
2. Bought AutoVoice
3. Set up profile (State): Autovoice Recognized Command: "Okay Google" --> VoiceSearch (Load App: Voice Search)
4. Set up task Autovoice On (AutoVoice Continuous: Selected)
5. (for Music and other purposes) Set up task Autovoice Off (AutoVoice Continuous: Not Selected)
===
The question at hand is does anyone have another idea?
my setup
1.If you don't have it already get autoshare.
2.Once installed go into the playstore find a random app and hit the share button.
3.You'll be prompted with a couple options choose autoshare intercept.
4.Make a profile using the state option.
5.Select the plugin option.
6.Select voice recognized.
7.Select event behavior and enter your command word.
8.Make a task using the plugin autoshare.
9.Select use last intercept.
10.Select text in that menu and enter %avcommnofilter.
11. Create a profile so when your devices display is off it turns on autovoice continous.
I, also added a wake device with the task, so when I say the command, and
My phone is asleep it wakes it up. I hope this helps.
Which autoshare? There's two in the play store.

Hi, I would like to have lock screen disabled when I'm connected to my Smartwatch 2, and as soon as the connection is broken - I want the lock screen back on. I guess it's possible to do it with Tasker, but I have no idea how. Any help?
I do this with my work Wi-Fi network... So I assume the same rule applies, instead of connected to X WiFi network, you set it up as connected to X Bluetooth.
I use Tasker and Secure Settings to get this to work.

Attached my tasker implementation.
As I have both Samsung Galaxy Gear and Sony Smartwatch 2, my profiles check for both connections.
Under the
Bluetooth Connected profile *, B4:52:7D:F3:A6:A6Not Bluetooth Connected profile *, B4:52:7D:F3:A6:A6
you will need to change to make it work with your smart watch as that is my Sony Smartwatch 2 bluetooth address.
The lockscreen password is cfchong. To modify it to your own, you have to go through all the tasks and change them at the Set Password to your preferred password.
You will also need to set the lockscreen security to none in the Phone Settings (not tasker). I set my lockscreen security to swipe as without the lockscreen, the phone may be woken accidentally in the pocket and the homescreen widgets been activated.
I have also included some profiles to set the phone silent mode to on/off when connected/disconnected except when a call is in progress.
[Edit]
Oh...what I would die for now...is to get a WeChat smart extension. I have 10 times more WeChat messages than WhatsApp :waiting...waiting:
thanks, but it seems i can't import it to tasker. it says failed to move to SD. any ideas?
second, how do i find out the smartwatch BT address? it's not in smartconnect and not in bluetooth settings.

unzip the file and move the SmartWatch.prj.xml file to the projects subfolder of tasker.
select the bluetooth address using the search button in tasker as showed in attached screenshot. it should show all your bluetooth paired devices.
as i am still in the process of enhancing my profiles, attached is my latest "enhanced" profiles.
feel free to modify at your heart's content.

Hi cfchong
Thank very much your project template. I imported it to tasker, and it reports right state of SW connection. But my phone isn't locked with PIN/Password when SW disconnected. Could you instruct me more.
thanks

Hi, I've made my own and its simplified so its only for the Smartwatch without all the variables and complicated stuffs... I have attached it to this post.
Firstly set the password on your phone to none... then...
Make sure you have disabled beginners mode in tasker and you have installed secure settings from the play store...
Then tap the home icon and tap import and then navigate to the file you extracted from the zip...
Then edit the states under profiles to use your smartwatches bluetooth address by removing mine and clicking the search icon...
go to the tasks tab and open the SW2NotConnected task and set pin and then click the pencil
enable device admin and change the pin code...
click save and navigate back using the onscreen controls...
Try it and see if it works I hope it works

^ This
1. You have to be rooted
2. You have to grant Secure Settings admin access in your device settings.
3. Make sure to enable System+ module in Secure Settings Plugin.
4. Run 2 simple actions that require root privileges (1 for Tasker and 1 for Secure Settings), while the screen is on and make sure you grant the 2 apps Superuser permissions.
Sorry to bump a 2 week old thread, but it appears as though some are still having problems. I don't use a pin lock, but I routinely disable the keyguard while connected to my Motorola Roadster 2 in the car. For those who are experimenting with Tasker for the first time, keep it simple for now. Too many task / profile collisions can really mess with what you're trying to achieve. Hope this helps.

After a lot of troubleshooting, a rom reinstallation and a couple of workarounds, I can now finally start Tasker tasks, from my Gear 2 Neo, on my Galaxy S3, which in turn can control almost anything on the phone itself, my laptops or other devices! Before this, I was only able to send notifications from Tasker to the Gear 2, which is also cool but controlling your smartphone with your smartwatch gives you endless possibilities!
Back to the tutorial. There are two ways to get this working:
On Samsung devices with a stock rom (currently 17 devices)
Samsung Galaxy S5
Galaxy Grand 2
Galaxy Note 3
Galaxy Note 3 Neo
Galaxy Note 2
Galaxy S4
Galaxy S3
Galaxy S4 Zoom
Galaxy S4 Active
Galaxy S4 mini
Galaxy Mega 6.3
Galaxy Mega 5.8
Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition)
Galaxy NotePRO (12.2)
Galaxy TabPRO (12.2/10.1/8.4)
On Non-Samsung devices OR Samsung devices with a custom rom
Follow @CarbonWyre's guide first, to get your Android phone to work with the Gear 2.
WARNING: I’m not responsible if you brick your phone! Read the guide carefully!
Regarding point 1: I can’t really help with this, as I have a Galaxy S3 with a custom rom installed (SlimROM 4.4.4) and I had to follow @CarbonWyre's guide for it, but it should work out of the box and even easier. Just make sure you have Gear Manager installed from the Samsung app store and then go to the steps further below.
Regarding point 2: after following @CarbonWyre's guide and connecting your Gear 2 to the phone, you also need to be able to receive notifications and also install apps from the GALAXY Apps store correctly, not only the stand-alone apps but also those that install on the phone too! This usually gave the “Installation Failed. Try Later.(0)“ error, until yesterday, but thanks to a discovery from @drakenjin, and my install tips from the same thread, you should be able to fix these errors.
If everything goes well, you should be able to install anything from Samsung’s app store, to the Gear 2 and phone, especially the free launcher that we need for everything to work.
Now to the actual “hack”: Tasker + App Factory Plugin + LaunchGear!
Assuming you went through either 1. or 2. successfully and you have installed GALAXY Apps, Gear Manager and connected to your Gear 2, follow the next steps:
Install Tasker from the Play Store, if you don’t have it already
(it’s not free but it’s worth every penny)
Install Tasker App Factory from the Play Store
(a free Tasker plugin to create separate apps that link to it)
Gear Manager -> Samsung Apps -> Search and install LaunchGear
(this one is free, thanks to Heedeok Lee)
Tasker App Factory is the actual workaround here, as LaunchGear supports only apps but not shortcuts to Tasker tasks (for now). With the App Factory you can export tasks from Tasker as separate applications which LaunchGear can then execute. (see example below)
Until I’ve reinstalled SlimROM, I always had problems with App Factory apps force-closing on me (“Unfortunately, … has stopped.“) but now with Tasker v4.4 (final) and the latest App Factory, it finally works perfectly! Not sure what got fixed for that, the rom or the apps.
Example: Gear 2 -> Phone -> and back to Gear 2 again, with a notification!
Open Tasker -> Tasks
Create a new task and name it whatever you want, e.g. “Phone Battery Level”
Add a new sub-task with + -> Select Alert -> Notify
Title: Phone battery level: %BATT%
Optional: add an icon for the phone notification (it will display only on the phone)
Go back to your task “Phone Battery Level”, you should see “1. Notify” with the title below it.
Add a new sub-task with + -> Select Alert -> Notify Cancel
This will clear the notification on the phone automatically after it appears. Useful in this case.
(don't change anything unless you really want to. just go back and do some tests using the play button on the bottom left)
Add an application icon (important!) using the button on the bottom right.
(this it the icon that will display on the gear, not the one from step 4.)
Go back to the main page of Tasker and press and hold “Phone Battery Level”
Press the button on the top right -> Export -> As app.
Wait for it to finish -> press the robot on the bottom right of the popup and install.
(test it by running “Phone Battery Level”. You should get the notification only on the phone)
Gear Manager -> Notifications -> check “Phone Battery Level”.
(if you don’t see the application list at the bottom, follow the steps from Turning On Notifications)
(on the phone) Run LaunchGear, which should be installed through GALAXY Apps.
In LaunchGear, press + and add your “Phone Battery Level” app and confirm.
Run LaunchGear and then the app, to see your phone’s battery level on your watch!
(if your LaunchGear is black, close all recent apps on the Gear. I have it set on double-pressing the Gear main button. Hopefully Heedeok Lee will fix this issue)
And these are pretty much the basics . Not to mention what other complex apps could be created! Have fun and thanks go to @CarbonWyre, @drakenjin, Heedeok Lee and other users from the guide mentioned above.

TIPS and TRICKS:
OBSOLETE (use step 6 instead): Use Ns Auto Clear if you have tasker apps that create notifications which are useless on the phone but are useful on the gear! e.g. The "Phone Battery Level" app, from my example above, will generate notifications which are rather useless on the phone and should be automatically cleared. Ns Auto Clear does not disable them completely (like this the gear wouldn't receive them at all) but clears notifications from specified apps right after you get them on the phone.
When you want icons that are not built into tasker, just install an application with the desired icon from the Play store. Then select that application's icon at step 8. in the above example and export the app. After you installed the tasker app with the desired icon, you can uninstall the application from which you've "stolen" the icon
UPDATES:
22.07.2014: Added a new tutorial for Media volume control with Tasker & Gear 2
23.07.2014: Replaced Ns Auto Clear with a way to remove notifications with Tasker. See step 6. Thanks @stanguay.

Surprised this hasn't got more attention, finding this really interesting.
Do you have any tasks that you use to give me some inspiration?
I now have ad hoc notifications for lots of bits but It appears tasker probably is alot more powerful.

Probably because installing from the galaxy apps store was limited to stand-alone apps until now, on custom roms at least. Getting rid of the “Installation Failed. Try Later.(0)“ error is mandatory but the workaround does not work for everybody, yet, from what I see in the other thread.

I'm also new to tasker (had only macrodroid before) and also searching for some inspiration. Taskertutorials has a lot of videos, expecially for voice automation, which I didn't try yet (english is not my first languare... and it's silly for me to speak english to my watch/phone, even at home)
There are 2 ways to interact with tasker with your gear:
getting only notifications from tasker delivered to your gear, which works without LaunchGear and even with the “Installation Failed. Try Later.(0)“ error, as it's unrelated.
getting your gear to control tasker, which is covered in the first post.
Think of what you want your phone to run or automate, like: turning on your laptop (see first image) by using the wol plugin, or anything that can be sent to the gear, without having to always take the phone out or when it's charging.
If you are a sysadmin, you could ping websites and get a warning notifications automatically to your gear when they are offline. This works one-way too, so no need for LaunchGear, only if you want to manually check the state using your gear. I have this too and get errors when sites from work or my home router is offline, which are checked every 5 minutes. Running ssh commands from gear to tasker and then to your home or external server is also possible (haven't found free plugins for this yet)
Tasker is also good for home automation using your phone and dedicated hardware like zwave & co. Imagine controlling your home with your watch teoretically, this is possible but I don't have home automation devices yet...
Right now I plan to connect tasker to unified remote. This will bring a lot more possibilities for controlling my network devices at home.
Some tips will also be added to the first post.
OMG been looking for tasker for Gear 2, I'm gonna have to try this when I get home. Saw tasker working for Android wear and got jealous now I can try it yes :good::good: thank you, now I just have to root my S4. Does anybody have a link for samsung app store I have a S3 with custom rom want to test it out on that phone first before I try it out on mm daily phone ?

Glad to hear
For the samsung app store related issues, please see the: [Guide] How to set up Galaxy Gear 2 for non Samsung devices (Full Tutorial) , especially the first post and then page 53 and 54 because you will need that Samsung app store workaround from these pages to work in order to get the desired results of this tutorial.
The link to the samsung app store:
http://apps.samsung.com/mars/mw/apk_en.as?COUNTRY_CODE=USA&CID=AFL-hq-mul-0813-11000279
so with this I can basically use Tasker on my Gear 2 like on Android wear ?

If Android wear still uses a smartphone for it's automations (and Tasker), then yes, it's the same.

After you install Ns Auto Clear from the app store, run it and enable it for the desired application.
L.E. please see step 6 in my first post. you can use tasker to remove the notifications automatically after they appear.

I'm still looking for a better app because this makes problems. Usually it starts hidding notifications that should not be hidden and then I always have to check the list, if anything changed again.

Media volume control with Tasker & Gear 2
This tutorial is for those who want to control the media volume on Android through their Gear 2. It can also be used without the Gear 2 part, if you are only interested in the tasks themselves.
First, make sure you were successful in getting Tasker to work with the Gear 2 (see first post).
(I recommend getting that example app to run before continuing)
If you just want Volume Profiles to be triggered by Tasker, go to the bottom of this post!
If you want two separate buttons to increase/decrease the volume, follow these steps:
A task/app for increasing the media volume:
Open Tasker and press the 3-dotted button on the top-right and select Preferences.
Uncheck the Beginner Mode (or you won’t be able to set the level variables at step 6.)
Create a new task and name it: Media Volume Increase.
Press + and select Variables, then Variable set.
Name: %mediaVolume
To: %VOLM + 3 (volume increases by 3, e.g. 0/15, 3/15, 6/15. you can change this if you want)
If: %VOLM < 15
Back.
Press + and select Audio, then Media Volume.
Level: %mediaVolume
(do not check Display or Sound unless you really want to, for a test)
Back.
Press + and select Alert, then Notify
Title: Volume increased to %VOLM/15
If: %VOLM < 15
Press + and select Alert, then Notify
Title: Volume at maximum! (%VOLM/15)
If: %VOLM eq 15
Back.
Press + and select Alert, then Notify Cancel (to automatically remove the notifications on the phone so they don't pile up)
don't change anything, unless you want to
Back.
Result
Add the application icon (for the Gear 2) by using the button on the bottom-right.
Back (you should be at the task list now).
Press the 3-dotted button on the top-right and select Preferences.
Check the Beginner Mode (or not, if you know how to export apps without).
Back (to the task list).
Press & hold Media Volume Increase -> 3-dotted button on the top-right -> Export.
(make sure you have installed Tasker App Factory first or you won’t be able to export)
After the export is done, press the Android robot icon on the bottom-right of the popup.
Install the application.
Open Gear Manager -> Notifications -> select Media Volume Increase.
(make sure you turn on notifications in the manager for this to work. please see below)
Gear Manager -> Samsung Apps -> Find and install LaunchGear.
Open LaunchGear on the phone and add Media Volume Increase.
Open LaunchGear on the Gear 2 and test out your new app.
If everything works fine, we can create the second app for the Gear 2:
A task/app for decreasing the media volume:
Open Tasker and press the 3-dotted button on the top-right and select Preferences.
Uncheck the Beginner Mode (or you won’t be able to set the level variables at step 6.)
Create a new task and name it: Media Volume Decrease.
Press + and select Variables, then Variable set.
Name: %mediaVolume
To: %VOLM - 3 (volume decreases by 3, e.g. 6/15, 3/15, 0/15. you can change this if you want)
If: %VOLM > 0
Back.
Press + and select Audio, then Media Volume.
Level: %mediaVolume
(do not check Display or Sound unless you really want to, for a test)
Back.
Press + and select Alert, then Notify
Title: Volume decreased to %VOLM/15
If: %VOLM < 15
AND
If: %VOLM > 0
Press + and select Alert, then Notify
Title: Volume at minimum! (%VOLM/15)
If: %VOLM eq 0
Back.
Press + and select Alert, then Notify Cancel (to automatically remove the notifications on the phone so they don't pile up)
don't change anything, unless you want to
Back.
Result
Add the application icon (for the Gear 2) by using the button on the bottom-right.
Back (you should be at the task list now).
Press the 3-dotted button on the top-right and select Preferences.
Check the Beginner Mode (or not, if you know how to export apps without).
Back (to the task list).
Press & hold Media Volume Decrease -> 3-dotted button on the top-right -> Export.
(make sure you have installed Tasker App Factory first or you won’t be able to export)
After the export is done, press the Android robot icon on the bottom-right of the popup.
Install the application.
Open Gear Manager -> Notifications -> select Media Volume Decrease.
(make sure you turn on notifications in the manager for this to work. please see below)
Gear Manager -> Samsung Apps -> Find and install LaunchGear.
Open LaunchGear on the phone and add Media Volume Decrease.
Open LaunchGear on the Gear 2 and test out your new app.
How to turn on notifications on the Gear 2:
Open “Notifications” in Gear Manager
Uncheck “Limit Notifications”
Press on “0) More Notifications”
Press “Turn On”
Check the box next to “Gear Manager”
Return to “Notifications” in Gear Manager
Scroll down and check the boxes you want to receive notifications from
Check the [Guide] How to set up Galaxy Gear 2 for non Samsung devices for errors.
Volume profiles for the Gear 2:
Install Volume Profile for tasker and create a profile called Outdoor (as an example).
Edit the Settings of Volume Profile to disable vibration and sound on profile change.
Open Tasker and create a new task and name it: Set outdoor volume profile.
Press + and select Plugin, then Volume Profile -> Configuration: Outdoor.
Back.
Press + and select Alert, then Notify
Title: Outdoor profile set!
Back.
Press + and select Alert, then Notify Cancel
(to automatically remove the notifications on the phone so they don't pile up)
Back.
Add the application icon (for the Gear 2) by using the button on the bottom-right.
Back (you should be at the task list now).
Press & hold Set outdoor volume profile -> 3-dotted button on the top-right -> Export.
After the export is done, press the Android robot icon on the bottom-right of the popup.
Install the application.
Open Gear Manager -> Notifications -> select Set outdoor volume profile.
(make sure you turn on notifications in the manager for this to work. please see above)
Gear Manager -> Samsung Apps -> Find and install LaunchGear.
Open LaunchGear on the phone and add Set outdoor volume profile.
Open LaunchGear on the Gear 2 and test out your new volume profile.
Yes, lots of steps but once you create 2-3 apps, everything will seem easier Now enjoy your new apps for controlling your phone with your Gear 2 while going for a run!
Similar apps can now be easily created, for example: increasing/decreasing any other type of volumes on the phone (ringer, alarm, notifications, etc.) but the media volume should be the most useful. For complex alarm/ringer settings, use Volume profiles.

UPDATES:
23.07.2014: Added a way to remove the generated notifications on the phone with Tasker (step 11 for the first two apps. step 8 for the last one), so they don't pile up. Thanks @stanguay.
Missing.
Hay guys.
I had a look on both the samsung app store & samsung gear app store, the "LaunchGear" app is not there.
I live in South Africa and I have a (Note 3 LTE 4.4.2 rooted)
Any ideas?

Point proven! Is it possible for the Dev to share an apk link due to the fact that the app is free?

Please always use: Gear Manager -> Samsung Apps -> Search for LaunchGear, like described in the tutorial.
If I open GALAXY Apps directly, it will not find LaunchGear.

If it's not even in the "gear app store", then this is indeed country dependent. Could you try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2312215 ? It's the closest I could find for now. I will make some tests too.

This tutorial is for those who want to control the media volume on Android through their Gear 2. It can also be used without the Gear 2 part, if you are only interested in the tasks themselves.
First, make sure you were successful in getting Tasker to work with the Gear 2 (see first post).
(I recommend getting that example app to run before continuing)
If you just want Volume Profiles to be triggered by Tasker, go to the bottom of this post!
If you want two separate buttons to increase/decrease the volume, follow these steps:
A task/app for increasing the media volume:

Took off the notifications and alert but thanks a lot I'm gonna try and figure out how to add other features.

You can share apk? I know how search but not see this LaunchGear
I can successfully run widgetupdatet and musicproxy on my uis7862 unit.
But I think i need to make it start at boot/wakeup and also make it not battery optimized
So for start at boot/wake up, i turn it on with User - application. But this make widgetupdater app show up everytime when unit boot up, which i prefer it to hidden
For battery optimized setting, I don't have battery option from my setting menu.
May I have your advice on this?
@KёniG
Thanks
Hello.
The newest firmware doesn't have battery settings. Install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut and find "Settings suggestions". Launch it and type in the search field "Battery".

cool, thanks. Let me try this app on my unit for battery setup part
May I know how about the startup part, anyway I can make the app screen do not popup and make a more silent startup?
(for my firmware, I can make app startup automatically in settings -> user -> application settings
Thanks again
@KёniG
I've switched to paid version and turn on "silent start" seems it will just flash then go away which is good now.
However I don't find the way to open the app to change settings anymore (don't see the icon at notification menu) . need to wipe out the app data to get back to setting screen

My answer above is about silent start up.
If you have the restricted notification bar it is required to reinstall the app to enter settings. Silent mode is not appropriate way for you.

Thanks, so either I can still choose silent startup but need to reinstall app if i need to change settings
Or
I dont make it silent startup but i will see the setting screen everytime the unit starts?
and one last thing
After I use musicproxy+widgetupdater. When I use my wheel button - "mode" to change the source, it will go through radio, Phone, Bluetooth music, then my specified music player, then stopped if i press "mode" again. Originally, the next app is the map and then loop back to radio. Is it normal behaviour?
Thank you so much
Played a bit more, seems AIMP is working fine to loop the button cycle.
Your problem got solved?

silent startup still make the app no longer configurable but is ok as I don't think need to always configure that often.
For wheel button issue, I find out is my specific app (KKBox) issue. If I change to AIMP or another music app then is working fine to cycle the sources.
And i think a setting which is quite useful for me is "Multiple music app" which will show current playing app info in that widget area
