Integrate Android Tasker with Homeseer (Old Thread)

[kriz83]

I'm using something similar, using EventGhost and AutoRemote for Tasker.
It relies on GCM (Google Chrome Messaging) and receives notifications nearly instant.

I use AutoRemote for quick 2-way communication between Tasker and EventGhost (which forwards to HomeSeer)

I just noticed this thread. I started using Tasker a few days ago. I am very interested in this project.

Tasker integration

Been a little while since I messed with this. I will eventually post my configs but what I've done so far works, although it's a bit kludgy.

I'm currently using Homeseer on it's own laptop in my basement. I have Eventghost on my desktop PC along with Autoremote for Windows (there are several different versions for OS and devices.) On my Android devices I use Tasker, Autoremote and Autovoice to control all of my lighting and send/receive messages between the various devices.

There is a slight lag since I currently have eventghost and HS on two different computers but once I upgrade to a more robust server I'll put them both on there.

Of course I'm interested as well, it looks like it would bne a great integration. I will be willing to test it if you like.

Hi, it's going forward but this is my first plugin and I'm not a real programmer, just a hobby. For the moment I am adding more features. All my devices is rooted but I have to fix so that regular commands works without root.


call number, hangup
volume
doorcam
sendsms 'use your phone as sms gateway
notify 'vibrate with message
vibrate pattern
runscript 'run local shell script
vibrate
calendar 'Insert message into your calendar in specific time. I have it for doorbell, mailbox etc.
strobe 'Flash the led
record / stop start invisible sound from mic and sent it.
openmap 'Open map with cordinats from homeseer.
play 'play soundfile on your device
say 'Text to speech
closeapp
startapp hstouch,video
photogps ' take invisible image of front/back cam together with cordinats and send it.
getgps 'just grab cordinats

Integrate Android Tasker with Homeseer

Hi Tony

It looks promising. I hope to test it soon.

I want to use it mainly with Android tablets and my wife's phone as I use iPhone :-(

Wow, this looks very impressive!

Quick question, does the screen on/off work with Jelly Bean? I thought Tasker didn't support screen on for Gingerbread and later.

I have also been playing with takers a little and am hoping to integrate it in to my homeseer setup. Right now I am looking at NFC tag capabilities and hoping to use some of them to trigger homeseer events. I love how this plugin is coming along. Can't wait for its release.

looks very impressive. I love Tasker.
