About

Run Tasker tasks from your watch on any Android device. Requires the plugin AutoNotification. You can execute up to 4 tasks with single button presses and up to 20 more from a task menu. Some ideas of Tasker tasks that you can do are turn on/off lights, play music, send predefined text messages, turn on mobile data, toggle wifi, control your TV, or interface to a home automation server. Simplified Instructions: 1) Install AutoNotification (not sure if free will wrok or not, I use the paid version, I believe their is a free trial) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autonotification&hl=en 2) Import the following tasker profile: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NdqhzfceOkSDDzftWo0ri3RjctjPSiAM/view?usp=sharing *If you want a more advanced example for the task called by the base profile see this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yqDOGA1lsfwrVFzVtsFDM65aYEi1zAav/view?usp=sharing 3) If your phone is not in English adapt the the part that says "wants to open" to your native language. 4) Create tasks in Tasker with simple and descriptive titles that you want to use from the watch. 5) Assign those tasks to buttons or menus in the settings in Garmin Express or the Garmin Connect App by typing the name of the task into settings. Old Instrucitons: https://forums.garmin.com/showthread.php?366342-Tasker-Integration In the settings menu type the name of the tasker task you want to map to each button. The menu button will bring up a list of up to 20 tasks to run, blank tasks will not be in the menu. Depending upon watch used you either press up/down buttons, swipe left/right, or swipe up/down to scroll through task menu. You can delete previously defined tasks by setting the task name to single SPACE character (limitation of settings module). Double tap back for menu or triple tap to exit. If no task is assigned to the back button (task left blank in settings) the app will exit after a single press. ------- Tasker 2 provides a second set of Tasker tasks: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/f958a836-f018-4215-92bd-252de7958f59.
