Need hand holding trying to run event

[donstephens]

Got it working, with much hand-holding by author.

[rmiles7721]

I'm trying to run an event, and can't see to make it work.

My task is set up like this

1. Say
Text Attempting to run event

2. Variable Set
Name %HSCommand to Talk Test

Where the event name is Talk Test

the Say command works but the event doesn't trigger.

Am I missing a step?

Thanks

I could be wrong and thinking of something else but I believe you don't need to have any spaces in your HS event name. Rename it to Talk_Test or TalkTest, something like that.

Duh...

Apologies didn't see that you had posted under tasker plugin.

Hi Pete;

I think I wasn't clear. I'm trying to get Tasker to trigger an event.

There is a more serious misunderstanding on my part of not having something right as I can not change a device either.

Yes. The IF part in the middle and the variable set would be first and the say stuff would be last.

1 - name of event
2 - if part (whatever and I use manual to test)
3 - say what?

Like so...looked up a test event here...
