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)

I have my phone set up so that when I am connected to my home Wifi, the security setting for the lock screen changes from PIN to Swipe screen. This could of course be changed to have "None" for lock screen security (not even swipe). So if you mostly use the phone while at home and are connected to your home WiFi, it would be an easy profile to set up to simply remove all lock screen security. If the screen times out, to read an NFC tag you will still have to push the home button or side button to turn the screen back on. But that would be all you would have to do.

When you leave home you have have Tasker put security back on your home screen when it disconnects from your home WiFi.
