Tasker support available - TaskS2 - Samsung Gear S3

Didn't see anything here in the apps forum on Tasker support on the S3. (There are a couple threads in the Q&A section that mention it.) Adding info here in apps so folks to find it easily and set it up to try.
Original thread from S2 forum where it started is here. Link below is to page five in that thread where the author of the app announced the original release a couple years ago.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-s2/help/request-tasker-interface-t3217756/page5
Install the "TaskS2 for Tasker: Automation on your Wrist" app on your Gear S3 from the Gear mobile app. (99 cents)
You'll need to enable "Allow external access" in Tasker Preferences on your phone (Misc. section of Preferences) so the watch app can access it.
Some have had issues w/disconnects to the Tasker app but in several days using it I've never seen that issue come up. Removing the Tasker app from battery optimization should resolve/help w/that issue.
I've used TaskS2 to manage my phone settings (e.g., set to vibrate in movie theater) and home automation tasks (turn off lights, lock doors, etc.).
Fun stuff.

Same author has another app that works with IFTTT and is supposedly "Standalone" called Trigger. I find it more responsive and doesn't disconnects as often as TaskS2

Thanks, I'll look at it.
I've still had zero disconnects/delays with TaskS2, so still wondering why others had that issue. Been perfect for me. I've had more delays w/IFTTT automations that I use w/my home automation (SmartThings) so not sure that IFTTT would be better than me, but always love a new toy so I'm off to look into his IFTTT app.
Thanks!

My Tasker app is heavy on my phone because I use it to control my home automation (Wink), and not natively. It's a custom JSON set-up coupled with Autovoice, Autoinput, Autoremote etc. I'd rather have direct Tasker connection than go over the net through IFTTT too due to the delays but it seems to be the most reliable thing for me. Hope it works out for you! IFTTT + Stringify really does let you do anything you want though.
The IFTTT triggers can be used with Makers channel and Autoremote on your phone to control Tasker stuff. That's how I use mine as a plan b when TaskS2 fails.

For those using this app, can you automate the watch brightness? I'm a moderate - heavy tasker but looking at the app description it appears as though it only allows you to access existing tasker profiles.

I use it to run tasks on my phone to control my phone and my home automation (SmartThings).
Haven't tried to use it for watch control - you'd need a way to interface w/the Gear app, AFAIK, to control watch settings.

It is not possible but could be a nice feature Especially when i'm using a sHealth and every time need to turn off bluetooth in the watch manually.

Thanks for checking into this, @shotguntheenforcer...I'd love to be able to modify phone volume based on location (at work or not) or day of week/time if via location isn't possible.
I'll go google a bit, but haven't heard of "dpad task" before - is that a way to automate steps in apps that don't provide a tasker plugin?

You can automate volume by location with tasker either through location or cell tower. I use this to enable and disable wifi and location settings. You are correct on dpad tasks.
As of now I can't get to gear settings from the app which sucks. Still looking for alternatives

Oops - typo in my response. I am already controlling my phone volume, etc., via location and Tasker. I meant to say that I wanted to figure out how to control my watch volume/settings via location.
Bummer this isn't easier to do - something that Samsung should enable.

I agree. Hopefully they will add the ability to do it in the future. The only scheduling I've found was DND but like you I want to access the settings and the gear app is useless

There's no way to control the watch from the phone, or TaskS2 or anything like that.
Pity, because it would open up so many possibilities.

This is the first gear app installed for my gear s3. Thanks!

[APP] Automagic

For those not aware of automagic:
Automagic is a automation application that uses a flow-chart interface to set-up the automations you want. It has a few pre-programmed flows (mostly hidden in the 'catalog'), but it's mainly the imagination that's the limit. So my reasoning for this post is collecting more flow charts or ideas, share them with others and hopefully inspire more.
Link
Automagic for Gleeo
Automagic premium
Automagic for gleeo is in principal for their time managing app Gleeo, but it can be used for a number of different tasks as wel.
Automagic premium is their paid app, I know that's commercial but it only features more actions/triggers/... than the free version, which is already pretty versatile on its own.
Flow charts
flow charts typically consist of
- a trigger (rectangle box with rounded corners)
- a condition (diamond box)
- an action (rectangle box)
My flow charts
- basic airplane mode by clock (see catalog by pressing the menu button)
- a basic wifi connected > disable mobile data // wifi disconnected > enable mobile data
- 2 NFC triggered flows (but they could be altered to location/time)
This app looks interesting. Love the flow chart design.
I downloaded the lite version, but there seem to be very little things I can do with it.
I dont mind paying for the pro, but would like to test the task that I wish to setup firtst; as I've already bought AutomateIt and Tasker (too complicated for my usage). AutomateIt does not have some actions that I wish to setup e.g. WIFI tethering.
Is there a trial app? or do you happen to have a Xperia S, and can confirm if the following action work:
1) trigger on/ off WIFI tethering (without intervention)
2) trigger on/ off GPS (without intervention)
3) trigger on/ off NFC (without intervention)
This application shows a lot of potential. I bought the pro version and will play around with it as soon as I have some time. In the mean time, I downloaded and activated and313's Proximity Screen On/Off flow. It works pretty well except for a weird admin problem message when trying to turn off the screen.
Overall, a good program with a lot of potential. Well done guys :good:
Edit: Enabling admin privileges for Automagic from settings solves the issue.
Been using this as a replacement for Tasker and have been very happy with it. The flowchart style profiles and logging options make creating complex profiles much easier. The other thing I like is that many options like NFC or lockscreen toggling are built in and it doesn't need all the extra addins/plugins that I needed to get things done with Tasker.
Kinda surprised this isn't popular. Any reason why? Seems like it's a very well made app.
utter! + Automagic + permanent voice recognition
Hi, good day all.
I'm trying to use command:2 (invoke permanent voice recognition) intent via automagic instead of Tasker. I much prefer Automagic and will not turn away from it. (I'm a novice re: programming language if even that)
I'll explain what I have tried so far, hopefully someone can lend a helping hand.
In Automagic I have tried "Start Activity" and "Send Broadcast" Action Types.
I'm making some progress with the "Start Activity" Action where my...
-ACTION TYPE = "Start Activity"
-ACTION = "android.intent.action.SEND"
-Explicit Component Checked...
PACKAGE NAME = "com.brandall.nutter"
CLASS NAME = "com.brandall.nutter.EIH"
EXTRAS =
"putString(command, 2);
putString(password, mypassword123)"
The ACTION results in a toast "utter! password failure for external application", it looks like the command is registering, but the password is not.
My utter! POWER USER PASSWORD = "mypassword123" literally, to make things simple... that password worked for me when invoking command:2 in Tasker. I've tried different alphanumeric passwords in utter! as well.
In other words I'm trying to set the data extras in automagic to "command:2" and "password:mypassword123", but, Automagic forces ";" and forces "putString" prestatements, if that makes any sense.
It looks like automagic has all intent Function, Variable, and Snippet options ie: putString, putBoolean, putFloat, putDouble etc.
How can I get Automagic activate the permanent voice recognition function in utter!?
It would be great to just be able to have some kind of activity shortcut to turn on off voice recognition instead of this, or just have it boot with phone boot. But I'm definately not complaining as utter! is free and very good!, thanks!
RESOLVED!
The great people at Automagic have replied to me (very quickly I might add) and have resolved my problem.
So for those of you who wish to control the permanent voice recognition of utter! via Automagic, here's the solution...
"Hi,
Your configuration almost works, only the extras field needs some small adjustments:
-ACTION: doesn't matter
-Explicit Component: Checked
-PACKAGE NAME: com.brandall.nutter
-CLASS NAME: com.brandall.nutter.EIH
-EXTRAS:
putInt("command", 4);
putString("password", "test");
It seems that utter uses an int for the command and not a string so you have to use the putInt function in this case.
The first parameter of the putInt and putString function needs to be a string, therefore the key has to be put into double quotes otherwise it would refer to a variable with this name.
Please also see the help page of action 'Script' for a description of the scripting language:
http://automagic4android.com/en/help/components#action_script
Utter also offers a plugin which can be used in Automagic with the action 'Plugin' but I'm not sure if utter allows to control the same functions using the plugin.
Automagic ROCKS!:good:
unknown cell ID's
In Llama, there's a trigger to invoke an action whereby if you are connected to unknown cell ID's the action is triggered. I wonder if it's possible to do the same on Automagic. Any ideas?
Hi,
please add a new action > remove / disable alarm
edit: calendar event from google calendar works also? edit 3: tested, its working

I've been wondering that as well. This is a truly amazing app, and automating my phone has never been this fun. Automagic is compatible with all the Tasker plugins, and I have yet to find anything I can't do with this app that I could do with Tasker.
Here is part of my battery saving flow, enabling data traffic for a short while four times per hour while the screen is off (except for during nights and when battery is low), at the same time making sure not to turn off data if there is any ongoing traffic.
I could do the same in Tasker, but I find it so much easier to do when you can see the whole automation flow like this. Also, it looks impressive

It's working very well, and my battery lasts noticeably longer. Previously I was using a separate app for this, but making my own flow was more fun, and works just as well.
Here are the flows for you (one for when turning the screen off and one for when turning it on).

Hi,
also tried to import xml files into Automagic Premium (AP)
But whithin the app you just get some bad Apps to select for opening the importing file. (Look at: Menue=>Manage=>Import Flows/Widgets)
So here is how it works for me:
- search file with any file browser
- try to open it and select AP for this action
- done
Next you open AP you'll find the flow at the "Ungrouped" folder, or in the folder defined by the programmer.
Hope this can help.
Hi,
press the 3dot to open the quick menü for this flow and then press send, now you can attached the xml file here

Missing features / wishlist

I like my S2 classic much mostly for it`s design and battery life, but there are features that I miss much.
Lets write down wishlist for future updates. Maybe someone makes this come true!
I will update OP periodically
Sleep tracking
Camera remote shutter
Analog tachymeter app
Shazam app to recognize music
It sucks that the S2 lacks quite a few apps I hope in the future it gains more dev support especially with iphone compatibility if Samsung make the S2 work 100% with the iphone's that is. However most of those features you can get on the S2.
For sleep tracking there is GNight costs £1.99 and for the Camera there is Camera controller which is free. This is UK market though so might be different in other countries I don't know.
I would add Samsung Pay for the UK market.
Wishlist
What I need most of all is a modified Nike+ app that shows my heart rate constantly while I'm running in big numerals. It sounds so simple. I love the Nike+ app but it just doesn't have the ability to make this simple adjustment to the settings. Not everybody is interested mainly in how FAR they run/jog.
I am far more interested in what manner I run/jog.
I'd love to see improved GPS performance. Also, would be great if Samsung allowed apps to communicate with phone apps not via Bluetooth, so that the watch can fully work when connected to the phone remotely (kinda takes the point out of the 3g version if most apps only work if the phone is around.
.
like to have more kindes of Sports, like gym, Ski for the Trainings app.

I can buy Gnight for $1.99, but I need sleep tracking app with full Shealth integration.
The only thing I want is android wear with the current ui. Because the UI is literally the only good thing about tizen on a smart watch.
I would love to see Wunderlist (ToDo List App) coming to the S2. It's the only thing that I really miss.

allow wake up gesture to be set to last viewed instead of always defaulting to the watchface.
PIA when using an app, like music player for example, then after a timeout the wake up gesture will show the watchface instead of the music player.

Strength Training app just released in the U.S. Gear store by Samsung India. Also Skimble-linked Workout trainer app, Pear Gear app, and Rossignol's Ski Pursuit are available. I don't know if they're any good, but they do exist.
I would love to have tunein. Power amp extension. hotspot and better always on watch faces
1. Enable mic for calls - I often have the phone in my pocket with headphones on.. would be nice not to have to pull out the phone just to answer a call.
2. Guitar Tuner app - I'm working on writing my own, actually. Seems an ideal use case.
3. Improved SDK and documentation for writing apps - the current SDK is rather easy to "break" and hard to install and get working and although there's some decent documentation online it's fragmented and hard to find exactly what you need.
4. Google Now app or extension.
more blue tooth setting like naming each connection and being able to use mono audio like in android to listen to tunein radio when available if ever

[APP][ALPHA][5.1+] Llama Silent Fix

Just realized this is probably not going to work completely as my biggest issue was vibrate mode not being set properly...
Will work on solutions tomorrow
This is going to be a very rough draft of what I got here.
Long story short, Silent mode doesn't work on Lollipop and beyond, Thanks Google
Therefore Llama is borked.
Simple fix will try to make better later (I am no programmer for sure), for now this is my simple solution.
I know this doesn't allow you to quickly change phone to silent but it does allow you to at least let Llama do it for you.
Also I've only tested this on Lollipop, Time willing I'm going to attempt to get this working on Marshmallow tomorrow or later this week.
3 simple apps made in Tasker that implement the new Do Not Disturb Mode, that can be run in Llama.
To get working:
1. Install desired Apps
2. Grant Notification Access
3. Add a new action to llama
4. Select Run Application
5. Select 1 of the 3 attached apps depending on what you want to happen.
Will post pics later but I think it's pretty self explanatory if you use Llama
Future plans:
1 app where you can call the activities of the app instead of running an actual app.
A button that opens Notification access so you can enable the app.

This is working for me on stock LG lollipop 5.1.1. I will test and see if I notice any excess battery drain due to the notification listener service. Thanks for helping fix Google's mess up.
If you want I can play around with this some more but I finally gave up on Llama
Llama is dead Hasn't been updated 11/21/2014 So I've switched over to Tasker utilizing wifi
I'm thinking of trying to figure out how to make my own app that can possibly launch tasker tasks but using a similar cell tower scanning/saving system as llama but right now I don't have the time or know how.
Ok I've played and I think I figured it out!
If you select run app shortcut in lama, you can run tasker tasks from there!
I might be bringing llama back!

Hey dude, thanks for yours good will, but i wrote that hoping that somebody would continue the development for this app or similar for the whole community. Unfortunately i don't have skills to do this, but just looking how many times Llama was downloaded from Google Play you can see this is an incredible app everybody likes. It is useful and easy to setup... I am very sad since it don't work properly in newer android versions. :crying: Already sent e-mails to Kebab Apps but no answer, this is a great lose for everybody since this app was unique.
So far I've only installed Android studio
I've written alot in Java but never touched Android code. We'll see if I can figure it out. Don't have alot of spare time on my hands so we'll see what I can do.

Tasker for Gear?? (not TaskS2)

Has anyone come across a Tasker to Gear app other than TaskS2, which is kludgy and frequently disconnects? I contacted the prolific tasker plugin creator (AutoWear, AutoPebble, AutoNotification, etc), and he says there's not enough interest in the Gear to create an AutoGear plugin. VERY unfortunate. Tasker is desperately needed on this watch. If Samsung Pay ever stops working with Pixel, I'm done with Gear.
I'd even pay $20 or more for a quality, working plugin.
+1
I agree, there's so much I could do with a Tasker type app for the Gear S3.
Try contacting the dev of TasGear.
It was better than TaskS2.
The disconnect issue happens when system optimization or any 3rd party optimization apps kill the service which talks to the watch app. Exclude TaskS2 from the optimization list and it should work fine
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
TaskS2 only controls profiles on Tasker on your phone. Being able to control the watch is what would be fantastic.
It's a bit complicated, and very much self-service, but you can get Tasker functionality with Wearable Widgets. When you use it in app form (as opposed to the watch face) it'll send touches to the phone.
This means you can use widget crafters to run tasks. I'm using Zooper Widgets, but you need the paid version of that one. Pretty much any roll-you-own widget app that can talk to Tasker should work. You can build a simple or complex GUI to run whatever you want.

I imagine that'll suck the battery though, given it's pushing widgets from the phone to the watch.
In my case, I'd like to have things like when my phone is put into silent mode, the watch also goes into silent mode. When I dismiss my phone alarm in the morning, turn the watch brightness to full and enable AOD.
That sort of thing would be amazing, not sure this would be achievable with that method. if it was, it would be rather messy I think.

The silent part is possible but the rest is not. Currently, Samsung gives very limited control to the watch settings.
Just FYI. Developer of TaskS2 just said he will be updating his app (in response to suggestion it had been abandoned with no updates in a year). It's too bad the AutoXXX developer isn't interested, but I appreciate anything I can get on this watch. I miss my pebble with tasker
any new news on this?

Question Rules Like routine o short ut?

Hi.
Is there anything like samsung routines or iphone shortcuts on the pixel?
In the menu I only found the rules but I can't do simple things such as activating or deactivating the data connection at a precise time on a specific day. Does this possibility exist on the pixel? Alternatively is there a program that does it but without root? I have tried macrodroid but it doesn't work. Thanks in advance
It seems this device doesn't have it and I also miss it. No way to program vibrate mode at certain hours every day for exemple
If guess Tasker app can do all of this, for a modest one time fee. I haven' tried it yet on this device, though

Thanks. Do you have already use it to change on/off connection data?
I have already use macrodroid and aprofile But No one of the two works, not even giving adb permissions.
Since Tasker is paid, I wouldn't want to buy it unnecessarily
Tasker is maybe not the most easy to use app, but is really powerful and I confirm you that it can do what you need.
