Hi all,

As a motorcyclist I'd like to start the mobile speedcam app while I am connected to the car Bluetooth system when I am driving faster than 50km/h (14 m/s).

As my first tasker task, I've created something based on 'Get Location v2' which only works when I manually start Tasker and press the 'Play' arrow in the lower left of the screen. It works as expected.

How can one automate this in a way that it is not needed to open the tasker app and press 'play' please? 

Any pointers are welcome and I'm happy to add this as a usage example once it is working properly.

Kind regards,
Fred

NB I'll add the Bluetooth mac address of my car audio system as condition (IF-statement to the app-launch task) once this works. Should be fine.

You could do this:

  • Create a profile with the Bluetooth Connected state condition and also the Tick event condition
  • As the task run your task
That way when bluetooth is connected it'll run your task each X seconds/minutes :)

Hope this helps!

Thank you for your contact.
