    I mean a plugin on your Android phone so Tasker can communicate with HS via a plugin (which will do the JSON calls)

    Thinking about it, how cool would it be if you could have HS3 condition triggers in tasker ?!

      What like this
      It is on its way......

      I ran it on HS2 and it was the best script I had. It is being converted to a plugin and I have tested some of it for Tony who hopes to have a build for me to test next week. He is also adding his old Speechdroid to the same plugin so you can talk to your Android device and activate anything in Homeseer.

        The problem with a plugin is the same reason Homeseer is so great... It is very customizeable. The only consistent part is the API, but the server, devices and status's are all different.

        With some of the expansion in the DeviceType there is possibility to write a nice interface but it is better for just using manual adhoc devices for the commands.

            I have followed the tutorials and am having trouble setting a home occupancy status through Tasker. I already have Tasker setup to change status when I am connected to a nearby cell tower but I am stuck getting Tasker to update the status in Homeseer.

            I have tried the http post method but I probably have the Server/Port string wrong. I do not have a static IP address either. Is there a method to connect through myHomeSeer or do I need the Tasker Plugin? This is the only thing I want to do at this point with Tasker and HomeSeer is to set my home/Away status.

              Hi Planetview,

              If you are using Tonlof's plugin found here: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=174450

              Using the Location as the profile or look here: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=176349 , Set events in Tasker like this:

              Variable Set
              %HSSetdevicestring To (I use @Home. You can choose what suits you)
              No brackets

              Variable Set
              %HSSetdevicevalue To 100

              Variable Set
              %HsRef To ----- (use the device no. you created and no brackets)

              Variable Set
              %HSCommand To DeviceUpdate


              That will do it and remember to create an exit task so you can do something with that too.
