Tasker Web UI

[Joey Carlini]

Pent, I have no idea if this is on your radar, or even possible as a third party addon without getting Tasker's source, but would it be feasible for Tasker set up a local web server over wifi or adb voodoo, and the user to point a browser there, and be able to build and mess around with tasks from a computer? Crazy thought, but it would be nice to have a mouse and keyboard, and an embiggened screen as sort of a central command for Tasker.

There's an off-device solution coming, but it doesn't involve
listening for external connections on the phone.

I would really welcome this feature and would be willing to do some alpha/beta testing if needed.

[Dennis]

Pent, you're amazing!

> Pent, you're amazing!

No, it's being developed by a 3rd Party (not commission by me). No
idea how it will turn out :-)

You my good sir have intrigured me.

Any idea on the name or a link/url for more info on this?

Sorry, I only have vague knowledge myself :-)

Shame. I'll look forward to discovering it in the future then, I guess.

That's all above my head, but it sounds a little like the AutoRemote plugin for tasker by joaomgcd

[RudeboyX]

Nothing like what me and the original poster are discussing unfortunately. Auto remote simply triggers profiles. What we are after is a web interface for tasker. (To build profiles/tasks)

[electricpete]

Thanks, somehow I didn't read the subject line. Now I get it. 

[Pent]

I'm not a very good coder, but I think I'll give it a shot. :)  

I would wait till after November, there's something similar (but more
comprehensive) being done by a 3rd Party hopefully.

What?  You mean like the thing I came up with? :)

 I like the idea a lot. Combine a remote web desktop, a'la the the one provided by Smart Dog Studios (or similar) but allowing for local manipulation of Tasker files. If you could run Node.js locally on an Android device, that might be he ticket. I know several people have been looking at this. It'd give you access to the file system as well as a simple web server.

Oh, good, I'm not the only one who had the idea!  Just came on here to see if it had been proposed before.  What I was thinking was a repository site where I could store my profiles/tasks, and perhaps share with others (ala IFTTT.com).  I would think it would be reasonably doable to convert the current interface more or less into a web page.  Essentially, each choice we make creates an XML file.  We know what the structure of the XML file would look like since we can export to one, so we just need code to create a compatible file we could then import.

I'm not a very good coder, but I think I'll give it a shot. :)

Since I don't know what it was called, not sure what to search for so I figured I'd just ask: did this ever come out?

[Bob Findlay]

I'm interested in this too.  significant development on the phone screen is solo painful!

[Bob Findlay]

found a combination that works

bluestacks does the emulation.  you can install tasker no problem

you'll need astrofile and some cloud storage to move your tasker backup file between your phone & your PC/Mac.

hey presto!  tasker development with a decent size screen and a mouse/keyboard

oh and there's teamviewer http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx

which is free for personal use, which basically allows you to remote control your phone over the network.

[Vladimir Oz]

How to connect from PC team viewer to Android one?

There's an update.zip on xda which allows it to run on CM roms

[Vladimir Oz]

Mmm. Thanks! CM rulez

Works over 3G faster then old VNC server app. Hope over wifi it would be faster.

hello pent,

do we know more about this third party add-on in the meantime?

thanks

make sure you're both on the same network.  start team viewer on android and you will see a code.  type that code into tv on the pc.  hit accept on android and you're in.

[BossMan]

Just tried Bluestacks - looks promising, but the problem is it is still SDK v10 (gingerbread), so it will not be possible to install the upcoming Tasker version (tried the beta and it failed).

[Jonas Colbro]

I would be willing to pay the double amount för tasker if i got "appinventor like" web ui please someone do it and i pay :)

Yeah i know teamviewer works but still not that user friendly :)
