    I would like to use the Activity Monitor in AutoLocation and Tasker in order to create a reminder alarm and then later an SMS message if I forget my cellphone in my car. I was trying to do this with a combination of disconnection of the Bluetooth connection and AutoLocation settings. I can't figure out how to get the AutoLocation settings working properly in the tasks area. There is no video tutorial for that, and I can't seem to find any written instructions. The only way to set the AutoLocation settings that is obvious is in the first step, as a State, which did appear in a video tutorial.

    I'd greatly appreciate some help with this.

    Thanks!

    To use the activity monitor you should start it with the "AutoLocation Activity" action in Tasker. Then to react to the activity setup a profile with the "AutoLocation Activity" event condition. Hope this helps

    Actually that doesn't help me at all.

    From the description of your app, I found this:

    --
    Activity Monitor:
    - Change your settings or do any Tasker action based on your current activity
    - Activities include walking, in a vehicle, cycling, standing still or tilting the device
    - Advanced matching options like level of confidence of an activity and ignoring certain activities while doing others (like ignoring phone tilting while walking)
    - You have access to these Tasker variables in the Entry Task (and only in the Entry Task) of an "AutoLocation Activities" condition:
    - %alactivity (IN_VEHICLE = 0; ON_BICYCLE = 1;ON_FOOT = 2; STILL = 3; UNKNOWN = 4; TILTING = 5;)
    - %alactivitydesc (description for the above code)
    - %alactivityconf (confidence level that the detected activity is correct; from 0 to 100)
    - You can activate or deactivate the Activity Monitor at any time with a Tasker plugin action
    --

    Could you please explain the correct format for using these variables in the Task area?
    For example, I have tried:

    If %alactivity=3
    If %alactivity~3
    If %alactivitydesc=STILL
    if %alactivitydesc~STILL

    I tried each of those to attempt to recognize a lack of movement in the phone.
    Is the format wrong?

    Thanks.
