Tasker Macro

[Edilma Howard]

Hithere. Just wondering if there are any smartapps that allows a user to use there devices based on a macro. what I want to do is turn a dumb appliance into something I can control with smartthings. For example, I have a heater that has no smart capable. It turns on by pressing the ON button on the top of the tower. it will always select the last used setting (hi heat and oscillating). Pressing the button again within 3 seconds will change the heat setting to low, then to med , then to hi, and finally turns it off (ON(hi)>lo>med>hi>OFF).

the issue is that this is not a simple on and off device, it requires multiple press to get it to turn off. I plan on soldering 2 wires to the contact on the button and have it connected to a evolve LFM-20 relay module set to virtual momentary switch as the device type.

I have zero programing skills. Getting WebCoRE installed and creating pistons is pretty easy. Pistons is just another term for the tasks you want accomplished. WebCoRE is very versatile and adaptable to your individual needs.

i'm working on a catalogue in InDesign with a lot of tables linked from ad excel file. The client insert an automation in excel and now the file is no more an xlsx but an xlsm (with macro). I know nothing about it. The big problem is that I can no more link the datas. Can somone help me? Is possible to create links in indesign from an Excel with macro (xlsm)?

Automate any program with Tasker's simple interface!Imagine having an assistant who could do your computer jobs without supervision, flawlessly, over and over again, without ever getting tired? Or imagine having a macro capability that is the same for every program on your computer? Or how about a Software QA tool that includes script programming, error logging, dynamic data entry, and a mouse coordinate tool, and yet only costs twenty bucks? Tasker gives you these features and more!

Tasker records your mouse and keyboard actions, and then plays them back as many times as you like, at the speed that you desire. Some of the things that Tasker can do for you are automatically type, launch programs with hotkeys, log in to Internet sites, automate quality assurance testing, create training demos, or simply record macros on-the-fly while you are working in any program.

Tasker was designed to be clean and small with a simple interface that was inspired by the VCR: buttons for Record, Stop, and Play. That's all you need to start saving macros for any job on your computer! For computer experts, there are many advanced features that will allow them to discover new ways to increase productivity, including an incredibly easy script language (powerful programming using only five keywords!)

This works well except when my mom is leaving my house. When she walks out I lock the door and then the Nest doorbell sees her and sends me the same notification. I obviously don't want the door unlocked in this situation.

What is the best way to solve this issue? My thought is that if Macrodroid knows that the door was closed or locked within the last minute it should not unlock the door again. I just don't know how to send the door and lock status to Macrodroid. Any ideas?

Not sure about macrodroid, but I am able to do something like this in Tasker using AutoNotification and Tasker variables. You can send an update to the value of a variable from HE as a http get call in an RM Rule, interpret that in Tasker, setting the variable, then do whatever you want off the back of the variable changing.

Although you can easily send back the status to Macrodroid, I wouldn't go that route. Instead, use the variables in macrodoid to control when to unlock and when to not. Use the IF/ELSE clause in your macro to determine when to send the command to Hubitat.

Each Android update Google make changes that have caused havoc. For example, Android 4.2 stopped 3rd party apps from automating aeroplane mode unless rooted which voids warranty and is a pain and security risk; Android 5 took away the automation of cache cleaning and mobile data toggles, leaving users with either big data bills or having to remember to turn it off and devices with full storage. Skip on until now, we have Android 9 pie and 10 Q, which are totally killing automation apps and clipboard manager which millions of people found useful in previous versions.

Google has the power to revert these changes as make users like me happy again. These changes are making it more and more difficult for developers to add new features as they are having to remove features or find a workaround, Google is messing with peoples' livelihoods, especially when developers get 1 star reviews on the play store for things that they cannot control, bad reviews mean that the developers will be demotivated at the very least, but it is causing loss of money and it has to end.

Android Q could bork Tasker, IFTTT functionality (That is 3 separate apps and billions of users). This has to do with the inability to automate WiFi enable/disable: -q-could-bork-tasker-ifttt-functionality/

Now, the script is much more than this and I need it to run as a scheduled task(or similiar) once a day on a server. I've created a scheduled task, which works whether the user is logged on or not and that works as expected as well, but at the point where it executes the macro, it just throws an exception and nothing happens as if it doesn't start the macro at all. I can confirm that it executes until opening the workbook

This link will help you some. It describes how to run vbs and excel macros from windows task scheduler. In addition to this, try vbs instead of python to find if it is a python problem OR try different user to run scheduled task OR try to give a different file name while you are saving then rename it as you want.

Unfortunately all of the macro things are based on the positions of the cursor on the screen, in an XY coordinate system, and there are a lot of things that affect where things appear on the screen. Screen size, desktop size, Windows font size, web browser font size, font, the website settings, need I go on....

Record the macro during the first step. Do a little optimisation and you are ready to repeat these steps as much as you want. It saves so much time which otherwise we would have to do each step manually which is very boring and prone to errors.

In my case the initial macro recording sometimes took few minutes to get it correct and optimised, but i should say it is worth the time spent if you need to repeat those same steps atleast 10 times or more.

It is existing to see the macro actions taking place within fraction of seconds which would otherwise take few seconds to do it manually. The playback is so fast that sometimes we cannot see what has happened, but when we go back and check, every changes we need are correctly made.

Why limit yourself with keyboard and mouse recording? Insert custom commands and statements into your macros: "launch website", "open file", "wait for window", "goto", "shutdown" and many more. Add logic to your macros using the "IF - THEN" statement, "REPEAT X TIMES" statement.

Macro Recorder features an easy and straightforward user interface. Forget about hours wasted on reading manuals. Start using Macro Recorder in seconds. Just click "Record" with your mouse and start working. Watch a video!

Convert your macro to an EXE-file that runs on any windows-compatible computer (feel free to redistribute). To save space and improve performance the resulting EXE file is packed and compressed using the advanced optimization techniques.

Macro Recorder can find images on a screen, detect when a window changes it's position etc. Macro Recorder comes with full windows-shell integration and scheduling. Macros can be edited with the built-in full-featured editor.

All recorded keystrokes and mouse activity can be saved to disk as a macro (script) for later use, bound to a hotkey, extended with custom commands or even compiled to an EXE file (a standalone Windows application). This macro recording program will save you a lot of time on repetitive tasks. You can use the Macro Recorder to automate ANY activity in ANY windows application, record on-screen tutorials.

By the way, if you're in need of a help desk software, be sure to consider JitBIt, we've been powering Fortune 500 help desks for years, we're one of the most respected and user friendly solutions on the market.

This macro directly edits the same markdown file that is seen by Obsidian. Whenever Obsidian Sync is triggered, it sees that this file inside the vault folder has been modified and will sync it, even if the file has never been opened in Obsidian.

Sort of. The main idea behind it is (for example): you browse a website, send the main/most interesting points to CopyCapture (or add them manually), then merge it and share it in an single Obsidian note. Which is (in my case) more productive than using Obsidian directly.

When it comes to Android automation apps, Tasker has never had much competition. But considering how difficult it can be for a novice user to get the hang of things, and factoring in Tasker's drab and complicated interface, there's definitely room for another developer to step in with a Tasker alternative.

Enter MacroDroid by ArloSoft. With its Material Design UI and step-by-step approach to automating common smartphone tasks, it's the Tasker competitor we've all been waiting for. So if you've always found Tasker to be more trouble than it's worth, I'll take you through the easy process of using MacroDroid below.

First things first, you'll need to install the free app. The free app limits you to five macros, which may be enough depending on what you need, and displays ads, but you can fix both of these with pro version available in the app for $2.99.

Next, you'll be asked to select a trigger for your macro. This is an event that will kick off your automated action when it occurs, and options here range from incoming calls to changes in the weather. Once you've selected a trigger, you may be asked to specify additional options, but this should be self-explanatory.
