Sometimes you want to run a task some time in the future but you don't want to block a task with a very long wait action. AutoTools Time to the rescue!

You'll

• Calculate the time for the delay you want
• Set that time in a Global Variable
• Use the time as a condition for a profile

STEP 1 - GET TIME 1 HOUR IN THE FUTURE

• In a new Task add an AutoTools Time action
• Use the Add Time section
• Add 1 hour to the current time as shown in the video
• Back out of AutoTools and go back to Tasker
• Add a Flash action with %atcalculateddate
• Run the task and notice that the full date and time are shown
• We only want the time so go back into the AutoTools Time action
• In Add Time set the Output Format to just HH:mm
• Go back and run the task again. You'll just get the time now.

STEP 2 - SET GLOBAL VARIABLE AND USE IT IN PROFILE

• Add a Set Variable action
• Set %DelayedTime to %atcalculateddate
• Run the task
• Go back and check that the variable was correctly set
• Create a new profile with the Time condition
• Set both the From and To times to %DelayedTime
• In the task do whatever you want. To test it lets add a simple Flash action
• Back out of Tasker to save

STEP 3 - EASY TESTING

Since waiting an hour for the task to trigger is not practical, just reduce the wait to just 1 minute

• Edit the AutoTools Time action
• Change it to just add 60 seconds to the current time
• Go back and run the task
• Check that the time was set to 1 minute from now
• Back out of Tasker again and wait at most 1 minute
• You should see the toast that the task was ran now!

This way you don't have to use long waits!
