Wondering if anyone has any input of this.
I already have a tasked profile for when I sign onto my home network to disable notifications on my phone, as I am using my tablet exclusive at home. Then they turn back on when I leave my WiFi range of my house. I am using Tablet Talk for SMS so I get those notifications on the tablet.
Now...
I want to setup Tasker on my tablet so that when I am not home my tablet does not make noise.
Any ideas on how you would do it?
Looking for brainstorming ideas...

I don't use Tasker on my Nexus 7 but use it on my phone. I think I understand what you're wanting, but not quite sure.
Couldn't you just set up a profile for Wifi Near and invert it? Then create a task to enable silent mode?

Set a variable that changes values when you are connected to WiFi and then a task with an if that only executes if the value is whatever when you are not connected.
Might not be the best way, but that's where I would start.
Correction on this a little after re reading my post. I want to get it so that when I am not home and leave my tablet there it does not make noise. I am not sure if there is a way for tasker to scan the network for a specific MAC address and if it sees it then disable notifications. Then I'd be able to sign onto my WiFi at home with my nexus phone when I get home and all notifications would go to the tablet.
Was also thinking NFC would be neat to trigger it all. Think this way. You come home and tsp your phone to tablet and the notification volume gets turned up on your tablet (ie. Gmail, SMS). Then when you leave you tap them together again and NFC turns notification volume up on your phone an down on your tablet.
Using NFC tasker I can only see writing to NFC tags for tasks not setting specific tasks based on the NFC communication between the two devices.

Two options come to mind. First would be pairing your phone and tablet over bluetooth and then creating a state where when they are not connected to each other, the tablet would be in silent mode. Second, how about just having the tablet go to silent mode when charging? You're not likely to be using your tablet while charging because the battery life can handle it, and you probably leave your tablet charging when you're not home.
It's not perfect but I'm not sure how else you'd do it without getting really fancy in Tasker stuff.

I saw this thread and had to share my idea. It sounds like what you need is a way to let your Nexus know when you are no longer home. The easiest way to do that, in my mind, is through SMS, especially since you already have SMS tied to your tablet, anyway. You could add a hook to the profile you already have that turns notifications on and off based on whether you are home to also send an SMS to your tablet with a code word that you would then use in a Tasker profile on the Nexus to trigger your silent mode. So something like.
Get Home:
Turn on your SMS forwarding, Send "I'm home" SMS to the Nexus by sending an SMS to yourself that gets forwarded, triggering your profile that you'd want for when you're, you know, home.
Leave home:
Send "Not home" SMS to the Nexus, putting everything into silent mode, then turn off SMS forwarding
It's probably also possible to set it up so tasker immediately dismisses the notifications and deletes the SMS for you, since it seems to me like Tasker can pretty much do anything. The only other option I could come up with would be something that constantly has the two devices pinging off each other, which sounds like a battery eating nightmare.
Side note for my own info, but I plan on picking up a 7 in the next few weeks and I assume based on this thread that Tasker functions well on it? I've currently got a rooted and jellybeaned Fire that Tasker won't really work on, at all.
autoremote is a tasker plugin. If for some reason you don't want to use sms as another poster suggested, you can link your n7 and phone and send messages through autoremote. Basically you'd have the opposite of your existing profile turning your phone notifications off, and when you phone isn't on your home network it will send an autoremote message to your n7 that you can use as a context to make whatever sound alterations (and other changes) you'd like.
autoremote is the easiest way I've found to communicate back and forth between tablet and phone. I use it to sync alarms between them, so I have a backup alarm without actually having to set it up.
I have an S5 which I use Tasker to recognize the phone being flipped face down to turn off the ringer, etc. I know there are other apps to do this, but since I use Tasker for other stuff I was hoping to continue. But, when the phone goes to sleep, it appears that Tasker can not recognize the phone being flipped. If I press the power button and flip, everything works fine, but not when the phone is asleep. Is there a setting I am missing to properly handle this? Any help is appreciated. BTW, the phone is rooted via Towelroot but running stock OS.
Hi everyone,
I want to use Tasker to wake up the phone by saying a some pharse, but not "Okay Google". Since Tasker can't turn on the display on the Nexus 4, I'm using the Secure Settings plugin. I know for a fact this plugin works because I managed to wake up the device by shaking it, just to try. Issuing the voice command is something else entirely.
For this I downloaded Autovoice, and set it to continuous listening. For some reason, it doesn't respond (even when the screen is on), unless I use Google now. By watching one of Armando Ferreira tutorials on Tasker (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J259WzkO3-Y) I learned that by setting continuous on in Autovoice, you can issue voice commands without saying "Ok Google" but it doesn't work for me.
Any ideas why and what I can do?
Thanks.
I know it's a marshmallow feature but is it somehow possible maybe via ADB shell to disable it so the watch ALWAYS stays on even if not moved?
Does anyone know if it is possible for Tasker to switch on Powershare? The only way I can see of enabling it is via the quick toggle but I'd like to enable it automatically when I put the phone on charge and place it face down.
Thanks
