I am new to Tasker and the entire automation world behind it. I was managed to connect specific Bluetooth to play/stop the music and disconnect it successfully via reading the threads found on line.
However, I have to manually to unlock the screen to make NFC tag works. I have tried to add the following methods suggested online to unlock the phone via NFC but nothing works:
Method 1: Wake up the phone and bypass the swipe screen by using a Tasker popup action
A: Popup
Text: *
Timeout: 1 Sec
Method 2: Unlock Android Phone with Wearable NFC
To unLock :
1. Secure Settings/Configuration Clear Password
2. Secure Settings/Configuration Keyguard Disabled
3. Variable Set/Name %NeedsLock To 1 (“use maths” checked).
To Lock:
1. If %NeedsLock=1
2. Secure Settings/Configuration Keyguard Enabled
3. Secure Settings/Configuration Set Password
4. Variable Set/Name %NeedsLock To 1
I prefer the first method above as I stay at home most of time and don’t want to unlock the phone by entering password/pin code. Any help would be highly appreciated. My phone is a rooted Samsung Note 3 (runs KitKat 4.4.2; Tasker version 4.9)
