Hello !
Is there any instruction how to control the fibaro automation system ( Home center 2 ) with the Moto 360 ?
There are videos on youtube but no instructions.
Please help.
I have a Vera system, so it's a bit different. I mainly use Tasker to do the trick, no voice control because that takes me way too long to say and finish. A few swipes is easier. I do however have some Tasker commands in Commandr, but never use them. I let Tasker create a notification and use AuthomationHD handle the switches.
Dom Esposito gives a nice overview in his youtube video 'Android Wear Home Automation Explained!', but doesn't uses Fibaro but shows all the other steps. Connecting the Fibaro app can be difficult, however with Tasker you can send an intention to your computer and let your computer do all the work. You can also simulate touches, but that's a bit too much I guess.
Check out http commands (via Tasker and i guess AutoRemote) : search the fibaro forum for 'beta api http commands'
Here an example for the RGBW controller - go to the uk fibaro site and find 'controlling-fibaro-rgbw-module-via-api' in the tutorials section ( I cant post links)
If you can acces all http commands you should be able to use Tasker together with Commandr to get what you want. Post your results if you like!

just got through fixing my usb (xacto knife ) and found a program that has sparked my interest. It's called Pocket Controller-Pro. Its basically a reverse remote control that allows you to control you phone with your computer (check the screenshot). Does anyone else use this? And sorry if this is a repost but i couldnt find it anywhere.

There are many programs on the likes, for instance i mentioned mDesktop in another thread. The availability of these types of programs (and their names) has been (and can still be considered actively being) mentioned in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575202
I have been using it on and off for last 2 years mainly to capture image or video from my phome (Like home screen, start menu...) i find it very good but does not work very well with the dash, many KB buttons are not mapped correctly, and the program is expensive and you have to buy the skin each year.
I just find a good program, I installed it and play with it a little bit, it is great for writing text messages or entering data, you can use your computer keyboard to write on your phone.
The program is free, it called "EveryWAN Remote Support Personal Edition"
I am attaching a screen shot of the program
Good Luck.
Hi there
I'm looking around for a decent app, which allows me to use my phone as an input device for Windows. A program which adapts to the currently activated program on the pc by showing an array of keys for shortcut functions.
Pretty much like the "Optimus Aux keyboard" of artlebedev (Sorry, can't post link)
Or: Imagine a toolbar, adapting to the task you wish to do.
Does anyone know if similar apps already exists?

Yeah, there is an app that lets you use the phone as a tablet or keyboard.
NFC-AAAC or NFC Assisted App Access and Control
Pretext:
I have 2 children under the age of 3, all of their content (audio/video) is digital accessed. This created a disconnection for them, as they are not able to play /change the content unless my wife or I change it for them. I know there is an interest for them to be able to change the content themselves as when we have Netflix or Pandora open on the touch enables screens they are all was trying to pick the show/music they like. The few places where they do have a physical medium to play content,
The DVD player/CD player (note we have it backed up digitally), there is much interest with the “desk”. The kids would love nothing more to remove and replace it over and over. Watching this behavior over some time has lead me to believe that a simpler solution would/could be doable.
This brings me to NFC tags, with a few add-on programs the NFC tag can be scripted to perform most complicated input tasks.
Goal:
To provide access to complicated tasks via NFC.
To allow a person of limited physical input abalaty to use smart phone tech.
This can include, the disabled, the young, the old. To allow access to tasks/apps while driving or when attention is needed other places.
Current Scope:
Create tags for a radio station that can be quickly taped to change station/play album.
( Keeping the driver form looking at their phone while driving). Create tags that auto play Netflix/Amazon Prime/YouTube/Google +/etc videos.
This may include second screen casting Create tags to autolaunch/call via Skype/cell phones
Want to call grandma? Or have grandma get on Skype, etc. Create tags to attach to things around the house foods/shapes/flashcards etc.
When was this put in the fridge?
Send text to let people know the item is all gone etc.
What was this called.
Call support.
Where I'm at:
I'm currently gathering URIs / intents for the tasks described.
I will be using a combination of the “NFC task launcher” and “Tasker” to complete the tasks.
I will be following up with more detailed guide on how to set up functions/tasks.What I am looking for:
Help locating the URI / intents to call to complete tasks.
More tasks, Do have someone you know / you yourself finding something more complicated than it should be let me know and we can discuss how to fix.
Current URI list
Note Most if not all the URIs are undocumented aka may stop working, I will try to keep the list up-to-date. Please let me know if any stop working.

Mmm, interesting.
Bye!

interesting ... how did you discover the uri to launch apps with arguments?
I also used a custom URI and NFC Task Launcher to launch my app "Badge NFC" and store custom data inside the app database (look at my signature to get a playstore link) ...

All of the custom URIs prefixes are in the apps manifest.
If I'm lucky I can simply type it into google and find someone else that's done the work, (to get the data argument)
If not I used JD-GUI to look over the source code to trace the Android Intent path and see what the app is looking for.
Another way is to see is if the app has a web app interface. Aka if I go to the web site or get a share link, does the app autolunch the content.
I was a little confused with your question, hope this answers it.
Thanks for the interest.

I have a Pebble, which doing a great job of getting Android Notifications! I just wonder if I can do the same thing with Google Glass.
There are some notification forwarder on the Market now, however, since I am already running Tasker, so I wonder if I could use
Tasker + Google's Mirror API
to achieve same thing without running any other APP on my phone, nor on my Glass, and here it is: "Glasker"
"Glasker" encapsulated Mirror API's token and authorization process into several Tasker tasks so you only need to write simple tasker "Profile" based on trigger you want then send anything to Glass!
With "Glasker", you could:
1. Forward ANY Android notification (as far as Tasker can get) to your Glass.
2. Forward Music Track info on your Phone to Glass while playing by Phone.
3. All of communications are just between your phone, Google's cloud and your Glass. Nothing go through another server.
4. You tell me!
Before we start, here are the disclaimer:
1. As Tasker is just plain text, you can see everything how those tasks works. Please review the code before proceed and once you run the tasks, I am not responsible what happened to your phone, your glass, Google's cloud or your washing machine, etc...
2. I am NOT affliated to the author of "Tasker" nor "RESTask for Tasker". Thus I am do NOT know if any of them send your message somewhere else. Don't use this project if you suspect anything.
Okay, Here are the setup steps:
0. Install a Tasker plugin "RESTask for Tasker" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.freehaha.restask This is used to send REST message to Google's cloud. (Tasker's internal PUT doesn't work here...)
1. Setup your OAuth2.0 Client ID and Client secret at https://console.developers.google.com/project (If you have no idea on what I am saying here, I will try to add a walk thru in 3rd post when I got time!)
2. Turn on your Glass and make sure it connected to your phone via MyGlass app. Make sure your phone and Glass can access the network.
3. Import downloaded "Glass.prj.xml" file into Tasker
4. Open task "TimeInZulu" and modify Variable Substract: %deliverytime, xxxxx according to your time zone!
In Taiwan (GMP+0800), xxxxx=8*60*60=28800
In LA, USA (GMP-0800), please change Variable Substract-->Variable add: %deliverytime, 28800
Other time zone please modify as needed or you will not hear a chime when message delivered to your Glass!
5. Run Task "Get Authorization 1" once and input your Client ID, Client secret (Those two variables will be kept in Tasker Variables in PLAIN text since it will be used later), than your default browser will fire
6. After grant yourself with the priviledge of "Glass timeline request", than you will be directed to a web page with a code. Please copy the code.
7. Return to Tasker, than run "Get Authorization 2" (hence Google's Two-Step Authorization....), than input the code you get from last step.
8. Let the Task run a while (10~20 second), then you should see a message on Glass says "My Notification forwarder Setup Completed!" (If not, lease scroll to right of timeline to see this message. It should be the 1st message)
9. Now, go back to Tasker/Profile than setup your trigger. (My default trigger are with Line, a Whatsapp like messanger very popular in Taiwan)
10. Profit!
If you find this useful, Thanks button is just a click away! Also, if you can make this project better, please also share what you modified here!
Profile explaination:
1. GlassConnected: Master switch for all sending profiles. I disable the forwarding of message if my Glass is not connected to my phone via BT directly for apparently security reason. In theory as long as both your Phone and Glass are connected to the network, you can forward message even they are at opposite side of the world!
2. SendLineMsg: Send message from Line, a Whatsapp like app wildly used in certain parts of world (4 billion active user!). You can modify this to any other messanger!
3. SendMusicInfo: Not necessary, it's just a demo to show it can send something else.
Task explaination:
1. Get Authorization 1/2: To get authorization from Google to allow access to Mirror API.
2. Remove All TimeLine Items: Utility task. As name suggests, it removes all timeline items created (only) by Glasker. It also reset several Tasker variables should you encounter problem. (No need to re-do Get Authorization)
3. Get Time Line: Used in "Remove All TimeLine Items" to get all timeline items created by Glasker
4. GetAccessToken: Utility task. Used to get new access token from Google (since token are temporarily and expires about 360 seconds). Usually you don't need to mess with this task
5. TimeInZulu: Convert local time to Zulu time. It seems Mirror API only accepts Zulu time format. (You need to modify this task based on your timezone as above step 4 or you wil not hear reminder chime when mesasge delivered
6. SendStaticCard: This task is used to send customized content to Glass.
7. SendLineMsg: Send nofication from Line app to the Glass. I update both "Boundle Cover" as will as content
8. SendMusicInfo: Send the music track info for the music playing at stock music player on your PHONE. (This is a demo of non-chimed Card send to glass)

This looks pretty cool. Sorry if I missed it, but does glass automatically turn on, visual, for each notification?

Yes, you can make a sound when notification push to Glass. However, the Glass will not turn on the screen. (This is explicitly mentioned by Google that such ability will not be allowed in Mirror API, only for APP running on Glass itself).
What's cool here is that when you hear the notification sound, if you turn on the Glass in about 5 second (by touchpad or head-up activation), the Glass will show the notification card directly instead of the regular card with time.
The task of "SendLineMsg" is an example to have a card with notification sound, while "SendMusicInfo" doesn't have sound.
Got any way to go the other way? From Glass to phone? Would be great for voice commands for home automation.

Yes, it's possible to go the other way (from glass to Phone). However you need to run a HTTP server on your phone.... The whole Mirror API is two way...
I was thinking to have Tasker to enable/disable the HTTP server on phone based on the message sent (to save phone resource-->Battery when no message are needed) but don't have time to do it yet...
You are welcome to make modification here!
I don't understand step 4. I'm supposed to change variable from subtract to add?

It's depends on your time zone. If you are in US, you need replace the "Variable Substract" action with "Variable add" action than put your time zone difference in second.
I'm trying to use this to forward YouTube videos to glass. Getting close I think.

Any luck on this? Does the timeline card open up the correct application? Can I send myself a location from my phone and open it up with maps on glass? This would be awesome!
Does this still work without MyGlass ?
Is it possible to have voice commands handled by google assistant routed to tasker?
Support exists for IFTTT, where I can create custom voice inputs from Google Assistant, and have any of the registered services IFTTT supports - handle it. Which is awesome! But IFTTT is so limiting in what it can do, and was wondering if we could get Tasker to handle it instead...or find a way for IFTTT to call a Tasker Task? If not Tasker, support for "Automate"?
Its possible using IFTTT as the middleman: http://forum.joaoapps.com/index.php?resources/use-google-assistant-for-autovoice-commands.207/
Wow, that's unnecessarily complex! There's a web request being made outside for the command to pass thru for Tasker to eventually handle it! I guess it makes sense to wait for native integration with assistant API when made available.
I think AutoVoice may have some modules for Tasker + voice integration.
I was going to look into it at some point in the future.
Utter was pretty bad assed but afaik, the developer abandoned it before he got all the bugs worked out.
It did do some pretty cool stuff though.

Semi on topic... I am so annoyed that Secure Settings for Tasker was abandoned.
EDIT: Secure Settings works properly with newer SuperSU that is now available.
Any update on this? Now that Google has exposed assistant apis
Give an example of what you mean. I just want to see what the value of this could potentially be.

Check out ifttt on android. You can create your own phrase/sentence that google assistant will pick up and pass over to your own application to handle. This is really powerful if you can get tasker to handle stuff for you. Right now, Google assistant integrates with ifttt and you could get ifttt to let any of the "services" made for ifttt handle that request. Right now tasker isn't one of them and ifttt has a limited range of things you can do with it.

Cool I just downloaded ifttt... Does that travel cross devices... For instance if I set up the assistant on my phone to do something would it also work with my google home
I've been reading up on this and it's working pretty good. I'm using this to use voice commands to trigger my Yatse android remote to pause/resume playback.
Would be great if they find another way to trigger Tasker apart from having to use Join, for which I only have a 30 day trial and I'm not sure i'm going to use Join apart for this functionality and it's a bit steep for full version for only that.
Auto voice says Google now/assistant integration on my device. I tried to test it but the only auto voice task I currently have properly setup is something assistant appears to natively support (maybe Google now does to now, but not when I created the task).
I used to have a bunch of stuff setup for controlling my Harmony hub but I started re-writing it into one task using if/variables and haven't finished it.
Auto voice would definitely be the best way to go if you're looking to do things with tasked.
Edit:I just had a closer look at auto voice, it say assistant while be support when API is public but gave a work around.

Yah it states in that article that once the Assistant API is made public, much of the process will be "baked into Autovoice."
Currently the cumbersome method is the workaround by the developer. The functionality is pretty much a linking of voice commands to Tasker actions.
Eventually this may be exactly what you want. Assistant API is coming eventually which will allow apps like Autovoice to do more and integrate or bridge "assistant" with "tasker".
Somehow I expect Google to leave the "native integration" bare bones as with Ambient Display, letting apps like Ambi-Turner do more, as well as different device and ROM manufacturers customizing and baking different features into stock.
Anyway, thanks for this thread. I appreciate learning about Autovoice.

You sure can. It’s ugly because the API isn’t out but it’s incredibly easy to do!
Create an IFTTT applet that sends you a text that matches a Tasker profile.
The example below toggles between two known WiFi networks. If you’re connected to 123 then you’ll be moved to 987, if you were on 987 then you’ll move to 123
To activate:
Say: "Ok Google"
After the beep, say: "Switch network", "Change network", or "Alternate network"
IFTTT
Trigger: Google Assistant
Phrase 1: “Switch Network”
Phrase 2: “Change Network”
Phrase 3: “Alternate Network”
Response: “Ok, switching to the alternate Wi-Fi network”
Action = Send SMS
Number: “555-555-5555”
Message: “ifttt change wifi network”
Tasker
Profile: Event = Received Text
Sender: “optional name”
Message: “ifttt change wifi network”
Task 1: WIFI Connect
Configuration: “123network”
Timeout: “optional number”
If: %WIFII ~ *”987network” *
Task 2: WIFI Connect
Configuration: “987network”
Timeout: “optional number”
If: %WIFII ~ *”123network” *
Note:
Anything inside “ “ is just dummy data, you’d change to suite your needs
The variable %WIFII holds information about the connected WiFi network
You can omit the sender name and in some circumstances, it may be desirable.
Example: automatically sharing your location, turn volume on to help find a misplaced phone

Download Tasker app factory. Create your Task. Export your Task as an app. Go to Google Assistant Settings -> Shortcuts and Set it up. For example 1. Turn off the Screen 2. Screen off and in the field which decide what Google Assistant really do you just put the command "run nameofyourapp"
Thats it
In Most Launcher you can just hide your new app so you can make a lot of them without spamming you app list
