[DEV] Tasker 5.9.3.beta - Sensors, sensors, sensors!! Oh and a full featured Do not Disturb... And a Text Dialog!
Another beta is out! This time I'm super excited to unlock the full power of your device's sensors! 😎
Sign up for the beta here.
If you don't want to wait for the Google Play update, get it right away here.
You can also get the updated app factory here.
New Sensor Stuff
Check out the demo: https://youtu.be/766S-KRnaiE
Tasker has 4 new sensor related things:
- Any Sensor state
- Any Sensor event
- Test Sensor action
- Sensor Info action
You can see how these work in the video above.
Basically, any sensor that your phone has is now completely available for you to play with and react to in Tasker.
For each state or event you can select how often the sensor is checked so you can decide for yourself exactly how reliable you want the condition to be, keeping in mind that more checks will use more battery.
You can even select the Interval Type:
- Throttle will check the first event in each check interval and see if it matches the condition
- Sample will check the last event in each check interval and see if it matches the condition
- Debounce will only check events from the sensor if they stop being sent during the time set in Interval (for example, if you want to trigger a task on orientation change, and you turn your phone upside down, without debouncing, 2 events could be triggered, but with debouncing only one would be triggered)
- Buffer will gather the events in each check interval and return them all at once to the task, so you can for example make a task based on all of the events that happened in the last 5 seconds if you want (for example, do something if phone is upside down, then upright, then upside down again)
This is also the first event/state where you can define conditions based on the condition variables themselves. Previously you had to this in the task. Because I did this now I can also very easily add these condition checks to other conditions that output local variables :)
Full Fledged Do Not Disturb Action
You can customize everything there is to customize about Do Not Disturb when you turn it on with Tasker.
Check out the demo: https://youtu.be/5pc_KzaXpwA
This means that all those settings that you can change in your phone's regular Do Not Disturb settings, you can now also change with Tasker!
Text Dialog
Tasker is also getting a new Dialog, the Text Dialog. Check out a demo here: https://youtu.be/BzABMdhBuQk
It's a simple dialog with a title, text and 3 possible buttons that you can use to show any info you like.
In my opinion this could be a better alternative to the Popup action.
As a bonus this dialog will now also be used if you use the alert() function in Javascript.
Full Changelog
- Added Any Sensor event and state and Test Sensor action and Sensor Info action
- Added way to fully customize Do Not Disturb mode when turning it on with Tasker
- Added Text Dialog action
- When you use the alert() function in Javascript it will now use this new dialog
- Added Continue Task On Error option to Get Voice action
- Added Get Sims function to Tasker Function action
- Changed how ADB Wifi is checked before running an action that needs it
- Show Your First Project video tutorial if you have a lot of profiles/tasks and only 1 project
- Added Your First Project video to Tasker menu
- Updated What's new video so that it shows the ADB Wifi video
- Fixed bug that said that wrong type argument when editing the Calendar Insert action
- Fixed bug where sometimes if you changed your phone's orientation at the wrong time it could cause app checking to stop working
- Fixed some crashes
So let me know how this works for you and if you have any comments! :) Enjoy!

Is anyone with a Pixel 4 able to see if the Motion Sense sensor is available in the new "Any Sensor" conditions?
I don't have a Pixel 4 myself but I'm very curious if it's a simple sensor that's available that way and if you can now leverage it in Tasker :)
Get the beta with the new conditions here: https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/f5dftr/dev_tasker_593beta_sensors_sensors_sensors_oh_and/
Thanks in advance!

[DEV] Tasker 5.9.3.beta.2 - List Dialog, Event Conditions, Even Better Action Searching and more!
Another beta is out!
Sign up for the beta here.
If you don't want to wait for the Google Play update, get it right away here.
You can also get the updated app factory here.
List Dialog
Demo here: https://youtu.be/lr-T7G1nU_0
You can now very easily create a dialog with a list (similar to the variable select list in Tasker) and get back the selected item in a local variable in the same task!
This new dialog also directly accepts arrays as input, so you'll never need to worry about separators ever again.
This means that even if you have an array like:
1. one
2. two
3. three,four
You'll only get 3 entries in the list.
This wasn't possible to do in plugins so I'm very glad to be able to do it here. 😁
You also have the option to long click an item and call a task with that item set as %par1 in the called task.
There's also a Multiple Choice option that allows to select multiple items at once and get them all back in the task as an array.
Event Conditions
Demo here: https://youtu.be/x1lJ0kyJRyw
There are some events in Tasker that output local variables. Some of these now support Conditions!
For example, you can now define which action will trigger the Secondary App Opened event or which music duration will trigger the Music Track Changed event right in the event condition itself!
Even Better Action Searching
Demo here: https://youtu.be/6oPZCYF4AME
I had previously made action searching in Tasker better with tags and showing exact matches at the top.
Now it's even easier to find actions because you don't need to know the exact order of the words in an action.
For example, you can search for both
- List Dialog
- Dialog List
and the List Dialog action will show up in the results! It also supports partial matches so searching for li di would also show the List Dialog action in the results.
Also, if the action name starts exactly with what you wrote in the search, that'll be the first action in the result list.
Full Changelog
- Added "List Dialog" action that allows you to show a list of items, select one or multiple items from it and get the selection back to the task
- Allow for "App Changed", "Secondary App Opened", "Music Track Changed", "BT Connected" and "Any Sensor" events to add conditions based on their local variables right in the event configuration
- Made searching Action list even easier by allowing partial matches on each word
- Made all 3 dialog actions use Tasker's current theme instead of always being dark
- Allow "Any Sensor" conditions and "Test Sensor" action to use the Sensor name instead of its type number
- Fixed sending email to support with bad-formatted text in some situations
- Added option to rename Task in the menu of the Task edit screen itself
- Made cancel option in Task edit screen always visible
- Fixed %AIR variable always returning the same value
- Make "Input Dialog" and "Text Dialog" able to receive newlines in its configuration directly
- Fix situation where in the "ADB Wifi" action if you let it enable debugging sometimes the action would fail
- Fixed some crashes
Enjoy! 😊

It shows a floating bubble, in this case of identical appearance to that of my device, with useful information about the audio channel currently in use (changes in its status).
It workds on the following audio channels:
• Alarm
• Call (in-call)
• DTMF
• Multimedia
• Notification
• Ringer (incoming call)

#profile #TaskerKeyboardIssueWorkaround
DESCRIPTION
As reported by other users, also me, Tasker is randomly and suddenly switching the input method establishing itself as the default system keyboard.
So, until Joao (Tasker dev) applies some fix, this profile will help to revert it back when it happens.
Notes:
- To use it be sure to give appropriate permissions to Tasker as it needs to act over Settings tables.
- I used the SwiftKey keyboard for the profile, but you can use yours.

[DEV] Going away for a while. See you soon!
Hi! I'm going to be away for a week or two!
I won't be able to answer any questions or do any development during this time. Hope that the recent releases can keep you busy for a while. 😉
You can find the currently known issues with Tasker and possible workarounds here.
While I'm gone, you may want to check these
- This collection of Tasker projects where I and a few other people sometimes post tutorials/importable projects of cool use cases. A lot of stuff has accumulated here over the years, so there's a lot to keep you busy :)
- My main YouTube channel where I post release videos for my app
- My "quickly becoming my main" YouTube channel where I post almost daily videos of new features and other cool stuff I do with my apps
- My Patreon where I post the exclusive Live Creations and give patrons the chance to check out new features before everyone else
- My Twitter where you can follow me if you feel like it :D
Thank you and see you soon ✌️
