#project #WakeOnLANManager
DESCRIPTION
If you have any device at home that is compatible with the Wake On LAN (WOL) protocol, this project will help you allowing them to be turned on or turned off from your phone.

This project includes an Initial Setup task that needs to be executed when it is imported from TaskerNet, or when the dev considers it is needed even not imported from TaskerNet.

Project Setup...
Previous Steps:
- Import project.
- Install AutoRemote and AutoTools (Android), and EventGhost + AutoRemote Plugin (Windows).
- Configure your devices to allow them to receive WOL Magick Packet.

* When registering device's names on AutoRemote as well as EventGhost, use the same exact names to configure them, as these names will be used within 'Setup' task inside the project.
* If you have problems receiving the ping response back from your devices, it's probably of its firewalls. To solve it, go here.
* As every device is a world, I won't cover how to enable Wake On LAN on this guide. You can search for your device's (or component's) manufacturer website for instructions on how to do that.
* To get rid of AutoRemote and AutoTools notifications when sending/receiving cmds, go to the device's Android App Settings and disable notifications for both apps.

AutoRemote Steps:
1. On first time opened...
-- Allow AutoRemote to access device's storage (Android permission popup).
-- Give your device a name.
2. Once your new AutoRemote URL ID is on the screen...
-- Go to: Preferences (bottom icons) > EventGhost (Other Settings), and enable 'Skip Public IP' option.
-- Go to: Registered Devices (bottom icons), and authenticate the session with your Google account.
3. Done.

EventGhost Steps:
1. To setup EventGhost and its plugin...
-- Go here to learn how to configure EventGhost. (After step 13 is optional)
2. After checking that AutoRemote (Android) and EventGhost are communicated each other you can delete test actions. (Keep the plugin)
3. To add the project folder to your EventGhost tree...
-- Download it from here, and open it.
-- Select all the content of the TXT file and copy it to the clipboard.
-- Inside EventGhost, select 'Autostart' just above the AutoRemote plugin, right click on it and select 'Paste'. (It should looks like this)
-- Save settings and minimize EventGhost.

* When having to add the Key for the device we are going to register in AutoRemote plugin (EventGhost), you can get it by copying the AutoRemote (Android) generated URL and paste it on your browser. The key you need to add for your device will appear after 'http://autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/?key=' at the top of the browser's URL address bar.
* Enable the 'Try to contact via local ip if available' option at the end of the plugin window (without adding any IP address). This will allow AutoRemote (Android) and EventGhost to still being in contact when no internet connection is available by whatever reason.

Notes:
- Due to Android 9+ permission changes, you will need to enable GPS location manually (at least battery saving mode). Or create a time context profile to allow it to be toggled in the background.
- AutoRemote, AutoTools and EventGhost are needed for the project to work.
- All the devices will need to have a static IP address in the network. (Configure it from your router)

CHANGELOG
- Fix: Task linked to 'WOL WiFi (on)' profile was not sending WOL signal when broadcast IP was configured in 'Setup' task.
- Other: Deleted unnecessary actions.

#warning #TaskerDev
[DEV] Join 2.3.beta - Local Network File Transfer
Check out the demo video: https://youtu.be/lHDNLZVlJ_o

Check out the original post here (has download instructions for the beta): https://www.reddit.com/r/JoinApp/comments/g6qbra/dev_join_23beta_local_network_file_transfer/

Since Join now allows you to transfer files between devices on your local network this means that you can now also quickly and easily send files between devices in the Join Send Push action!

Simply select one or more files there, make sure the other device is reachable in the same local network and it should send the files via local network instead of via Google Drive! 😁

I also plan to add options to enable/disable the features shown here to the Join Settings action in Tasker so that you can automatically enable/disable this feature at will in any situation imaginable.

Let me know if it works well for you if you can! Thank you!

#warning #TaskerDev
[DEV] Tasker 5.9.3.beta.5 - Supercharged Custom Settings, Send Whatsapp Messages, Freeze/Unfreeze apps and more!
New beta incoming! At long last the days of Tasker not finding the specific settings on your phone in the Custom Setting action are gone!

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.

Find All Possible Custom Settings For Your Phone
Now, when you use the helper in the Custom Setting action on your phone this appears: https://i.imgur.com/iD7mV7I.png

If you enable ADB Wifi while using this helper, it'll now find all settings for your specific phone! So, if there's a setting that can be changed on it, it'll find it! :)

Previously users had to send me their list of settings so that I could add them to Tasker's built-in list but it was obviously incomplete since there are so many different phone models out there.

Now all possible settings will be found! Rejoice! 😎

Send WhatsApp Text Messages
Demo here: https://youtu.be/XdBN8TOmIWQ

If you use the Contact Via App action and select the option to open a contact's WhatsApp profile you now have the option to automatically send a text message.

You also have a new option to back out of WhatsApp after sending the message so you end up right where you started.

Unfortunately for this to work your screen has to be on and unlocked so it won't work in every situation.

New ADB Wifi Helper Actions
Demo here: https://youtu.be/4Nt0Q6aokY4

When you use the helper in the ADB Wifi action you now get more options like:
- Clearing an app's data
- Freezing/Unfreezing apps
- Taking a screenshot without user interaction
- Toggling SIM Card on or off
- Uninstalling an app

Let me know if you know any other cool ADB Shell commands I can add in the helper :)

Important Change For Tasker Pros
Now when a variable contains an empty string, it'll be considered as not set by Tasker. Previously only variables with a null value would be considered not set.

This will holpefully solve many headaches and inconsistencies that Tasker has because of this.

Let me know if this has any breaking side effects if you can. 😅

#project #AndroidPieScreenBrightnessWorkaround
DESCRIPTION
As some users reported having problems with the Display Brightness action on Android Pie, I have made a workaround task that may help these users.

You can track the issue on:
· Reddit (thread)
· tasker.helprace (ticket)

* The problem, in the end, was discarded by Joao, so there will be no other than to use this project (or your own method) to modify the brightness in those devices that present that abnormal functioning. Sorry.

This project includes an Initial Setup task that needs to be executed when it is imported from TaskerNet, or when the dev considers it is needed even not imported from TaskerNet.

Notes:
- Thanks to @mehPhone (Reddit) for contributing, @gerardo246and and @JavierAlbalat for testing.
- Go here to learn more about how Android Pie now manages the screen brightness function.
- Not all people are experiencing the same situation. Some tells that is working fine, between correct and normal range (0-255). But others reports that Android is managing the brightness level far out of range, like: 0-4095.
- To allow the project to set 0 (or lower = -15, ie) level correctly on some devices, you will have to grant the 'WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' permission to Tasker. Or have root.

CHANGELOG
- New: Different method to get min/max values (no root nor special permissions needed). (Thanks to @mehPhone from Reddit for sharing)
- Other: As min/max values can be retrieved without the need of root or special permissions, there's no need to get/set any of these values anymore.
- Other: Re-worked 'Initial Setup' task.
- Other: Other minor changes.
