Tasker is an application for Android which performs tasks (sets of actions) based on contexts (application, time, date, location, event, gesture) in user-defined profiles or in clickable or timer home screen widgets.
Tasker autoremote is a plugin for Tasker that allow the program to receive push message from the cloud as profile.
This is how it works:
- Send an AutoRemote message from Kalliope
- Setup an AutoRemote profile in Tasker to react to the message
- Do whatever you like with that message!
The example usage is a "find my phone" task. You could send a "Where are you?" message to your phone, and have Tasker respond with a repetitive "I'm here! I'm here!" or play a music.
kalliope install --git-url https://github.com/kalliope-project/kalliope_neuron_tasker.git

Description of what the synapse will do
- name: "find-my-phone"
signals:
- order: "where is my phone"
neurons:
- say:
message: "I'll make your phone ringing, sir"
- tasker_autoremote:
key: "MY_VERY_LONG_KEY"
message: "lost"
This walk through will show you how to send a message to your phone so that even if it is set to silent, will play any music file at full volume so you can find your phone if you have lost it in the couch.
First, create a task, that you could call "start_ringing" that will perform:
- Disable the silent mode
- Set media volume to the maximum value
- Play a local music
Then, create a new task with just one action:
- Stop the music
Create the input profile.
- create a context of type Event > Plugin > Autoremote
- Set the word you want
- Attach the event to the task "start_ringing"
Finally, create a event, to stop the music when we unlock the phone
- create a context of type Event > Display > Display Unlocked
- Attach the event to the stop that stop the music
Exit Tasker with the exit menu to be sure all events and task have been saved.
