Launch any existing Task 1.1.1

Learn how to launch any existing Tasker Task with a single AutoWear profile

  1. joaomgcd
    Here you'll create a single profile that can be called from anywhere within AutoWear (like a screen, notification, floating icon, etc) that will launch any existing task you want.

    STEP 1 - CREATE TEST TASK


    • Create a new Task in Tasker and call it "Test Task"
    • Add a flash action with the text "Works!"
    (i) We're just creating a test task that we can use the profile with. If you want to call an existing task you can just use that


    STEP 2 - CREATE PROFILE THAT LAUNCHES ANY TASK


    • Create a new Tasker profile
    • Set the "AutoWear Command" condition
    • In the command filter write "task=:="
    (i) This will make this profile trigger any time you send the command that contains "task=:=", like "task=:=Test Task" for example. See where I'm getting at? :D
    • In the task add a "Perform Task" action
    • in the Task name write %awcomm
    (i) This will run a task with the name of whatever is at the right of "=:=", so we should put a task name there. More info about this command system here.
    • Back out of Tasker to save this new profile


    STEP 3 - TEST IT!


    • In AutoWear create a new Single Screen
    • Set the tap command to "task=:=Test Task"
    • Accept it
    • On your watch tap the screen.
    (i) The command "test=:=Test Task" should be sent, making the profile trigger, which runs the "Test Task" task, making the "Works!" flash appear



    (i) Now every time you want to call an existing task from autowear just set the command to "task=:=TASK NAME HERE", and the task will run :)

    Does not work with voice with anything I created after installing. It does with buttons though. And anything older can be triggered using voice.
