Sleep monitor - time variable.

I wanted to create a tasker profile to monitor the amount of time I sleep.

My trigger would be, placing my phone face down on the bed next to me. This would turn $Facedown to `On', and set $Sleepstart to $TIME. In the event I choose to look at my phone before actually going to sleep, I decided to add five minutes to the face down orientation time THEN begin the sleep time monitor.

There are two profiles. 1.) detect face down and set $Sleepstart to $TIME and $Facedown to On.
2.) If $Facedown matches On AND the current time is $Sleepstart + 5 minutes, then $Asleep is On.

Exit task being when I wake up and turn my phone over. And $Waketime is set to $TIME, and $Totalsleep = $Waketime - SleepStart. Then the results are written to a log file of my choice.

The problem I encountered, was the variable addition. I was never able to have that condition satisfied (current time being five minutes ahead of $Sleepstart - when my phone was turned over).

Any ideas?

Thank you!

Go into the properties for the first profile and add a five-minute Cooldown. Then you can eliminate the second profile completely and have %Asleep set by the first profile. ( I assume your exit task also clears %Facedown...)

Or you could just add the Cooldown to the second profile and remove the +5-minute time context.

 

Excellent, thank you. I used your idea of the cooldown period, if I in fact understood how you meant it.

I used facedown as a trigger for the first profile, and the first action in the task i a 4 minute 'wait' function. Followed by a $Facedown On. That triggers a second profile in which I set the sleeptime, and sleepdate. The exit task for that is setting the waketime and performing the subtraction of (waketime-sleeptime)+24.00, followed by writing that information to a file.

Works perfectly. Thank you for your assistance. I'm still trying to figure out a way to do it with one profile, but no matter, it functions well enough.

Glad you got it working.
