Turn on bedroom light with notification

This will toggle a light with AutoVera using a notification on your watch

    Please follow the "Turn on bedroom light with voice command" tutorial before trying to complete this one because you'll be using the same Tasker profile to react to the notification tap action.

    /!\ You can replace the action to toggle the light here with any action you like. The main purpose of this tutorial is to show you how to react to the command, not exactly what you do with it :)

    STEP 1 - CREATE PROFILE


    (i) We're going to start by creating a profile that's only active at a certain time. This way, the notification will only be visible during that time and will disappear when outside of that time

    • Create a new Tasker profile
    • Select the Time condition
    • Set an appropriate time for when you want the notification to appear, for example, at night
    • Accept the settings and create a new Task


    STEP 2 - CREATE AUTOWEAR NOTIFICATION


    • Add an "AutoWear Notification" action
    • Enter its setting screen


    STEP 3 - SET TITLE


    • Touch the "Title" field
    • Write "Bedroom" in it


    STEP 4 - MAKE IT ACTIONABLE


    • Configure Button 1
    • Set its action to "bedroom light"
    (i) Note that this is the same AutoWear command as the one used in the other guide.
    • Choose an appropriate icon like a light build icon
    • Go back and check the "Content Icon" option
    (i) This will make the button you just configured show up inside the main notification card and not as a separate page in the notification, making it more accessible


    STEP 5 - HIDE HINT ICON AND SET NAME


    • Check the option to hide hint icon.
    (i) This will make the notification cleaner. You can set an icon here too if you wish.
    • Set the notification name to "notification bedroom light"
    (i) This will make your notification unique so that you'll be able to delete it later. You can't delete an AutoWear element automatically (with Tasker or AutoWear) if it doesn't have a name.
    • Test the task in Tasker. The notification should now be created on your wearable device.


    STEP 6 - EXIT TASK


    • Add an exit task to your profile
    (i) This exit task will run when the time from the profile's condition is up


    STEP 7 - DELETE NOTIFICATION


    • Add an "AutoWear App" action
    • In the "Action" field select "Delete"
    • In the "AutoWear Element Name" field write "notification bedroom light" (which is the name you gave the notification before)
    (i) When this task runs, your notification will be deleted
    • Test the task in Tasker. Check on your wearable device that the notification was deleted.
