I have looked everywhere for the answer to this so it either doesn't exist or I completely missed it, but how do you program Samsung Tectiles or other NFC tiles with Tasker? I've heard of other members using Tasker to be able to set some pretty advanced profile options onto their NFC tiles using Tasker, but for the life of me I just can't figure out how they do it.
Thanks in advance guys.
In playstore tasker will have link to there web site shows u all possibilities for tasker

Try an app called "NFC Task Launcher" for programming the tags. If I remember correctly, it ties in with Tasker.

I need a Tasker profile that contains NFC programming capability. Their website doesn't have profiles for that on it. I need to know where to get the profile.

The web site has allot of info
I personally use NFC retag for setting up tags. Dont forget to set up Tasker to allow external access.
You dont create profiles, you trigger specific tasks within Tasker using NFC Launcher or NFC retag. If you are trying to trigger a profile just set up the tag to trigger the tasks of that profile.
Your best bet is to search xda and google for examples of how others have theirs set up. I dont think there is a single site with all the info you are seeking.
Here is one example that I use setup in NFC retag for my car:
Cycle 1
1. Turns off wifi
2. Bluetooth on
2. Tasker task - triggers popup announcing Cycle start (nfc retag has a popup function, but it is not as modifiable)
3. Start app - Torque (Tasker is already setup to turn on/off gps for this app)
4. Tasker task - plugin Bluetooth Auto Connect connects to bt obdii device
Cycle 2
1. Bluetooth off
2. Tasker task - popup announces cycle stop

Just curious what can they do and what are there capabilities

depends on what app you're using them with. if you are the creative type, combine NFC tags with NFC Task Lancher and Tasker, you can literally program your phone to execute any command Tasker can do (which is a ridiculous amount). Realistically, however, people use it to trigger things like wifi/bt, set alarms, trigger ringer, pass URLs or contacts. Essentially the tags keep a text string.
Thankyou I really appreciate ure reply

Is there an NFC app that will make this possible? Currently the only thing an app can do is to open the Navigation app... But doesn't have an option to open the Maps function within that app.
Download NFC Task Launcher. You can open any app

It's the first option, open application. Don't open it through the activity option.

You know when you open the Navigation app (the Blue arrow) and then hit the Maps icon within that app... It opens up Navigation without a destination? That's what I'm trying to accomplish.
I wrote the author and he said that it doesn't work yet. Do you by chance know how to use Tasker? The author said that if I can program Tasker to launch that activity, I can point the NFC Launcher program to it.

Why don't you just open the maps app? Instead of assigning navigation just assign the maps app.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Because if I use the maps app... The screen times out. Using the navigation function prevents this.
Add another task. Under display, add screen timeout to 10 minutes. And add the maps app. That way you won't need to worry about it timing out too fast.
You can add more tasks to one tag.

Is there any other faster/easier way to open the VPN list or a connection other than going into Menu, Settings, More Settings, VPN?

You could try something generic like the Bar Shortcut app which let's you put a shortcut to any app or setting in your notifications bar https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.coinsoft.android.barshortcuts.
Or something more specific to VPN like 5VPN https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doenter.android.vpn.fivevpn
I don't know if either of these is compatible with your device but my point is there are apps like these out there. A quick search through the play store should reveal them.

Thanks... I was hoping to not have to use a 3rd party app. The second one you mentioned requires payment for a one-click solution. I'd rather do it the original way if I can't find a built-in solution.
I use alarm clock Xtreme and I would like to be able to have an NFC tag enable specific alarms. I'm currently using NFC task launcher however the alarm functions it has currently only add new alarms. Is there a way to have it only enable existing alarms or is it perhaps another app that will? the only tags I currently have will not write with my phone. Do I just need to get tags that can write more extensive commands?

Im also looking for a solution to this since i use the add timer function but it creates a new alarm, I wonder if its possible using tasker instead?
Still looking

I've been looking around on the web and on XDA to find a way to assign a sync function to NFC tag.
Basically, what I want to do is to turn off all sync when I leave the house and re-enable it when I get back.
Any suggestions on how to do this? I can't find anything in Trigger.
I've already assigned a Wifi (on/off) and volume/vibration adjustement and those work as they should.
You can do all that and much more with Tasker and Xposed.
I bet there are more friendly solutions out there, but this is what I use and it works like a charm (without even having to use a tag).
Cheers!
Oh, forgot to mention that I'm not rooted and running stock.

NFC retag free from playstore. I currently use with my Xperia tags now. No need for root to program auto sync when tap. You may have to disable smart connect apps or the tags app (system app) if they interfere
