Hi everybody
I use Tasker as I am snowboarding in backcountry alone to store periodically my gps location and ask me wether everything is alright. If I don't answer the tasker task sends a SMS message including my GPS location and an emergency message to the rescue.
It works alright, anyway in some location, there's no 3G network, thus I'd like to do the same using a satellite phone. Seems to me that Garmin Inreach devices provide the best coverage and quality/price ratio. It is possible to establish a bluetooth connection from and android or Apple smartphone to the Garmin satellite device to send SMS message through an app called Garmin Earthmate.
In the Garmin Earthmate app, there is a frame where to write the SMS message and it is necessary to push on a few buttons to send the message on the android device and get it to be sent by the Garmin inreach satellite device.
I haven't still bought the Garmin inreach device and wonder if it is possible to automate with Tasker, autoinput or other tasker plugin , all the interaction with the Garmin android app ( Garmin Earthmate ) to send the message if I am unconscious below snow surface of an avalanche. Thanks a lot for your help, Cédric

Any updates on this? want exactly the same thing mentioned above and just came across this.

 seems it would be doable with AutoInput and Tasker in Earthmate to make the right clicks as a dead man's switch. If no one chimes in, i'll prob just buy an inreach and give it a shot and report back.

hoping someone else has used tasker/autoinput with earthmate
