Hi,
I am trying to configure a profile in Profile Scheduler+ to disable Wi-Fi whenever I am not near a HotSpot. Does anyone know how I can set this, i.e. specific instructions? I have a profile setup, but it seems I have to manually activate it, I can't get the logic of the rule quite right.
Any help/pointers/instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Also, If you can recommend a better app, if you think this one is lacking, that would be helpful too. I know about Tasker, but I find the interface quite daunting :S
Cheers
Darren

I'm not familiar with this app, can you share your profile setup?

Would that be by the NFC option in Android?

Well, doesn't appear many people answer questions on help with Tasker. I know it says it has a high learning curve and isn't for the casual user but I can't even get something as simple as having wifi turn on at home and then off when i leave. I am also not saying the app sucks but I am thinking about asking them for a refund because even doing simple things seems to be very clunky to do. I hope someone can walk me throug the wifi thing and if anyone knows a link to a place where you can actually learn how to use the app that would be great. I guess the developer is making so much money he doesn't care if people need help or not.

Did you actually look at the official Wiki linked from the Tasker website? It contains many example profiles you can download and customize as well step-throughs on setting up some of your own...
http://tasker.wikidot.com/
Also, if you search this site, there are a few threads where profiles have been posted. And I know people have linked to other sites that have guides/profiles (and even sites like Lifehacker have posted basic tutorials on the app). I also think there is a pretty active Google Group where the developer actually answers people's questions.

You know you can download the whole instruction manual to your phone, and each item has a question mark you can click that gives you relevant info? Having WiFi come on at a given location is one of the easiest profiles to set up.
1. At the bottom click New> State> Cell Near
2. In the Cell Near window click the Scan button, and walk around your home (or wherever) to make sure you pick up all the cell towers near by. When you're done, stop scanning and click Done.
3. On the Task Selection window click New Task> and in the Task Edit window click the + sign> Net> WiFi
4. In the WiFi window change Set to On and click Done.
5. Click Done in the Task Edit window and you're finished
Thanks, and now of course i see a thread not too far from here with examples. It didn't show up in search though because the search function on this site sucks ass! I set it up to do it by time and that didn't work so i'll try it your way. Thanks again.
Sorry Im a noob when it comes to Tasker, but here it goes. I want to create a profile that launches my car app when docked, but only if my wifi is off. Thanks in advance!

There is a good guide for tasker here. If one of the tutorials in the guide doesn't contain the information you need you can ask in the thread.
Hello,
I'd like to figure out a way to use Llama to send an HTTP GET request to my home automation system. In particular I wish to turn the power to the charger on and off based on battery percent as this tablet will be mounted on a wall. Since Llama seems to require opening of the browser to do this, I'm assuming this would require another app. My question is, does one exist? I just want a shortcut that will execute a HTTP request in a completely invisible fasion. Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Hello,
I have the same request. Do you find a solution?

Yes. I wrote my own little app that will create shortcuts. It's not in the Play store but I could try to send it to you if you'd like.
I find a solution with the app Tasker. This app could send an Http request but i have other issue. The better way will be to make my own app. If you could send me your version, it will be a great help for starting.

I just sent you an email with the apk attached. I just downloaded the Tasker trial and wasn't super impressed. Perhaps if it were free I would've made use of it but I enjoyed the opportunity to learn a little about Android development. What was your issues with Tasker?
Let me know if my app works for you.
Hello !
I'm also looking for a similar solution.
I use Llama and I need to update my Android GPS location through a HTTP POST.
I really don't want to use tasker... Do you have clues for me ? I'm able if needed to create an APK.
Thanks !

The little app I wrote is only designed to make a static HTTP request. In other words, it won't be able to read any Llama variables or anything like that. However, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to modify the app to support what you're looking to do. I could send you the source code privately if you promise to send me back your changes.
@mrceolla Could you send me the app and source code. I shall send back any changes I do.
I've searched all over and cannot find a way to do this so i decided to post a question and see if anyone can help.
On the Tasker app i want to make my phone automatically reply to a received text message from a specific contact one time only. right now as it stands, my auto response will keep being sent to the contact until i manually disable the task. is there a way to have it only send once and disable on it's own??
also, does anyone know where i can find a list of all the variables and their functions?? or maybe a link that you guys found helpful when using this app. so far what i've been able to make it do is amazing but i know there is so much more that i need to learn. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi all,
I've yet to find a way to close an app at a specific time, screen timer is a very mild version of what I want it to do, I basically want to give it the instruction to close Disney+ at 1AM. It was easy on the Galaxy phones as Bixby routines would do it with no problem but I'm struggling to replicate it on my P7P. The only suggestion I can find online is to use Macrodroid and I've tried that with no success.
Any other ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Maybe try Tasker.
I've had the same issue. Worked great with Bixby routines. Only way in Google is to give it a command like you'd ask assistant. But it just doesn't work. I'll try tasker again in all my free time haha.
Macrodroid is the way to go. Its quite powerful.
