Unified Remote & Tasker

[Ziad]

Is it possible to control Tasker from Unified Remote? I want to launch Tasker tasks as remote actions.

I checked the Unified Remote actions and it doesn't seem like I can send custom intents or execute Android shortcuts. However, the app does send internal intents for actions. Would be possible to catch these "private" intents in Tasker?

Thanks.

the only way I know is that using older version unified remote which can custom the URL in quick action and widget. Pass tasker URL to them by install one plugin called 'tasker URL' or something similar.

The new version unified remote removed the custom URL function, such a pity.

That's a shame. It sounds like it was a good feature.

It seems like I'm going to end up sending remote commands to the EvenGhost executable and then use AutoRemote to relay commands back to Tasker.

Thanks.
