Post your EPIC TASKER PROFILES here! They need not be specific to the Nexus 7 but that's your audience so please don't post ones that are only useful on phones! If you can't be bothered to go into detail on how you did it, at least post what it is you did that was so uber, so that we can figure it out for ourselves!

No Nexus 7 and a tasker noob but if i figure something neat out, i'll put it up and also export the profile to .xml (i believe?) and upload it for people to download
I basically made a profile to turn on Airplane Mode if idle for 10 minutes and not on charger.
Typically my usage on it is consistent so if I haven't used my Nexus in that long, I don't want it wasting battery looking for WiFi or syncing twitter. If I don't have the Nexus I have my phone.
Also have a display unlocked to go out of airplane mode when I unlock it.
Here's what I have so far. Just bought it yesterday.

That last bit with all the button presses is the only way I have found to reset a live wallpaper from a static one.

Bump... I currently have an auto airplane mode one set up when the display is off.. Anyone else using Tasker with their Nexus 7?
There are people who DON'T use Tasker?
Ones in blue are ones I use on the N7, rest are ones on the Phone
Profiles:
Location based Home/Work Profiles
Calendar event based "Quiet" profile
Time based "Night" profile w/ "manual" trigger (AC + flipped on face for those early nights)
Context based "Car" profile (AC + Some Car related program... Waze is the normal trigger), goes back to previous when AC disconnects
Tracking Related:
Uploads my location to my web server every 10 minutes
Can upload my location as often as every 5 seconds in another "mode"
Recovery:
If I receive an SMS or EMail with a certain phrase in it, it'll act on a command in the email/SMS
----- Example: One command sends back location, current phone number, last call in, last call out, last sms # in, last sms # out, battery level, some other misc stuff responded to the email or sms it came from
If the phone number on the phone changes (ie: SIM changes), it'll kick off the above example and send it every 5 minutes to a predefined SMS
Utilities:
Download some geocaching data from my server every night and unzip it ready to be imported
Based on location, dings me if I'm still at the house at 7:25 to remind me to get moving to drop off daughter at school
Based on location, dings me if I'm still at work to pick up at 5pm
Dings every 2 minutes if I've missed a phone call, sms, or voice mail
Tells sleepbot I'm going to sleep and triggers my Night profile if it's after a set time and it's on AC and flipped face-down
If Car Home is running, launch Waze for navigation
----- and when we've stopped Waze and AC is unplugged, stop Car Home and turn off
Widget that when ran, turns off GPS, waits a second, then runs a News app
----- Because the news app is f'ing braindead and stalls until it gets a GPS lock
----- And when we exit the news app, kill it, turn on GPS again.
Widget that when ran counts down a predefined time, lowering volume, and eventually doing a MEDIA stop. ie: Music fade
Screen off on my tablet turns off wifi and bluetooth; and when opened up again, it turns them back on if they were previously on
If I turn on my tablet and it can't find a wifi connection in 10 seconds, it asks if I want to enable bluetooth. I have bluetooth tethering enabled on my phone, so this way it tethers to the phone easily if I'm not near wifi.
Puts phone into suspend mode if upside down. This way if it turns on in my pocket, it goes back to sleep immediately
----- Unless the phone is ringing or I'm on a call
Run a script which backs up my SD card to my Linux workstation nightly
----- Uses Secure Settings, sh script, rsync, enables wifi if it's off before starting
NFC:
Work tag, set a NFC_WORK variable, that if set, never changes from my Work profile
------ Until I get in the car and the tag in my cradle is scanned, or it's after 5:30
Car tag, enable Bluetooth GPS Provider which connects to my bluetooth GPS, starts Car Home
Sleep tag, same as flipping the phone on its face mentioned earlier, but really don't use this one much
I'm having trouble with this airplane mode one. Sometimes it won't turn off the WiFi when the screen is off and ends up doing it when I have the screen turned back on. Or it will wait the 5 minutes after i have the screen on then turn wifi off and aiplane radios on. I'm a newb when it comes to tasked so any help would be awesome. Does this look right?

I wrote a tasks for both my phone and my tablet that text my boss who always hides in the back room when I need help. Initially I accidentally texted him at like 2am, so I created tasks that modify a variable so I can turn the function on and off. Sort of a safety feature that prevents me from angering him. So long story short, when I need help on the floor, I just click a home screen widget that asks him to the come out via sms.

Whoa if there was a way for it to also make my phone turn on bluetooth tethering, I'd be happy as hell. (If you could figure that out, I'd love you til the end of time).

I could do that, I'll have to do it in a day or two, but I'd probably just do a backup that could be restored.

I don't think tasker has the built in function to turn tether on, but you can launch a third party app like "bluetooth autotether", that should do the trick (it works for me at least
I have installed Open Garden on phone and Nexus7. BT on my phone is always on. Whenever I turn on BT on my Nexus7, tethering is automatically initiated.
So I set up a tasker profile on my Nexus7 to turn BT on whenever wifi is not connected, and turn it off when it is.
Works like a charm. :cyclops:

Cool, I was just thinking of setting up a profile that when I pressed the icon, it sent a message to my phone, which in turn, would activate tethering on my phone. Unfortunately, I can't think of a way to send that message. Can we send SMS via NFC or Bluetooth?

Setting up Open Garden is pretty simple. Just install the app on both devices and follow the on-screen instructions.
In Tasker you then could define a profile "BluetoothTether" (or whatever you'd like to name it) which - like every tasker profile - consists of contexts and tasks.
The contexts define when the tasks will be exceuted. I added a context for Wifi not being connected and another one for the display being on.
Then I defined an enter task "BluetoothOn" and an exit task "BluetoothOff".
So whenever I have no Wifi connection AND my display is on (multiple contexts are connected via an AND-condition in Tasker), Bluetooth will be activated (enter task). If a wifi connection is established or the display is switched off, BT will be deactivated (exit task).

If you're talking about Bluetooth tethering, just leave it enabled all of the time on your phone. Yes, it forces bluetooth on, but bluetooth uses almost zero power when not active.
Here is my attempt at a weather notification!
I have shortcut set to run it, but once it's in the notification bar all you have to do is click it to refresh.
This uses secure settings to turn on/off gps. Then turns your lat/lng to a zipcode. Then checks weather.com for current condition and temp.

I'm running Tasker on my Evo 3D and the Nexus 7. I'm working on ideas for profiles that will work with both.
For instance, when I'm at work or home, I don't need the wifi hotspot on the phone active, so Profile that, turning it on when I'm out and about.
Then on the Nexus, if not connected to some other WiFi source, it means I'm out and about, so connect to the hotspot.
There has got to be all kinds of ways to harness the possibilities of two devices communicating with each other and both using Tasker...
Hi everyone,
So I have mounted my tablet in the centre console of my car flush, the last bit is getting tasker to react in the correct way.
The problem I'm getting is that split second when you turn the key from 'on' to turning it over it looses power. This plays around with the profiles I have set up...
Has anyone made a task that will stop it from turning on and off and back on again when the car starts up or make it load smoother?
Thanks Chad

I don't know your exact situation or what your tasker proffile setup is, but couldn't you simply add in a wait for x seconds step in one of your profiles?
My set up is like this:
Profile - State - Power (Any)
Task:
Blue tooth on
Wifi on
Car home ultra open
Pop message
Profile 2: State - Power (invert)
Task:
Pop message
Blue tooth off
Wifi off
Kill Car home ultra
Screen lock
That's what I'm using at the moment but that split second just messes with it.. Makes it all muddled up as in a short time it's turning on, off and on again.
Would that time task you suggested bypass it recognising that it's losing power?

By no means am I a pro with Tasker, but you could probably put in a wait command at the beginning of the 1st profile and it may stay alive when the car loses it's power for that short time.
I'll give that a go and see if it works.
Will let you know of the outcome
Thank you!
It didn't work unfortunately..
Any other ideas, links, answers to help me out on this?
I would really appreciate it!
Chad.

Press and hold the Profile and select the properties and set the cool down timer to a value so that the profile can't attempt to run again so soon, but that might have unfavorable results too. So, since the power on sensor is causing this, you might consider splitting the task into multiple Profiles where the Power on only turns on the Bluetooth, with some other Profiles configured using net Bluetooth connected and Bluetooth invert doing the rest maybe?

Sorry, my mistake. Is a app wich came with the phone,"Moto", inside have a option called "Actions" and another called "Turn for Not Disturb" (or something related, my phone is in portuguese).
When I'm in my car and want to plug in for usb charging, I turn my phone upside down and place it in a padded cup holder.
Unfortunately the screen will not rotate upside down, it will only rotate 90 degrees to landscape orientation. I've tried it with both "Face Detection" on and off.
Is this a known problem? [Build: SD1A.210817.036]
FWIW, I upgraded to P6P from a Galaxy S7 Edge, and never had a problem flipping the screen upside down.
Stranger things I guess in the upside-down.
As an aside, I'll end up creating a Tasker profile to fix this glitch in the matrix.
This has never worked for me on any android phone except when I flashed custom ROMs where it was supported.
What @nuumuun said. This is normal behavior for stock Android as it comes from Google. I, too, have occasionally had use for 180-degree rotation although not so much anymore. I'll probably enable some way to do it through root, though.
Apology in advance for the teaser, but I believe I once came across an app that let me force 180-degree rotation, and it worked without root, but I didn't make note of the app / Play Store link even though I have a Google Sheet I maintain for noting "uniquely functional" apps I've used, so when I stop using them and then need them again (or to tell someone else), I can.
FWIW - I created a simple Tasker profile that has fixed the issue.
