I have a problem getting a Bixby button Tasker Secondary app context profile to run the enter task when the display is off. Works fine with display on. Anyone else seen this or have a fix?

A way to make that work is by using the Logcat Entry event :) Check here:  https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker/comments/dusaer/how_to_bixby_make_tasker_react_to_single_double/

This is a HUGE step up from the Bixby assigned to Tasker Secondary app for running Tasks! I have just disabled my Bixby Secondary Profile and pointed its Task to this project's single click. Now my Bixby button is a true flashlight on/off switch even with screen off. Im thrilled :D

Now I just have to decide what to assign to the double and long clicks!

Agreed I'm trying to decide how I'm going to use the other click types. Tasker continues to get better and the support is 5 stars. People who agree should support Joao with their wallet. The next time I use web screens I'm going to be awesome and buy the one offered.

I'm having a problem with Bixby button long press and double press. With both I get the Bixby privacy agreement popup. I figure it's a settings issue but everything I try changes nothing. Samsung Galaxy S9 Android 10.

long and double press worked fine for me for a day and now I'm experiencing the same thing. Only single click works reliably.

Also, a very depended on AutoInput profile is suddenly failing to trigger. No significant changes to my phone. Note 9 Android 10.

I think its an android 10 issue :(

I wouldn't be at all surprised. I had an idea to go ahead and Ok the privacy popup. Now I get Bixby popups which I can AutoInput a back to. So it seems anyway. Still haven't decided how I will use long and double click yet. I'm using single click to mute and unmute when licensing to SiriusXM news broudcasts. After a mute the task will unmute after 3 minutes.
