New to Tasker.  I have Tasker setup to open on Sat & Sundays at 8am and perform the following task: to open my Onkyo Stereo mobile app.  If I test the app after 8am, it seems to do what I intend it to do. However, it won't automatically start at 8am.  Can someone help? Below are some screenshots of my current setup.

One more thing I forgot to mention (not sure if it is in any way related)...I am using TouchTask in conjunction with tasker for to emulate the 'touch'.

Your profile as is will only fire on Sat at 12.00 am ( the start of Saturday) then of course it will fail your if action because it is not 8:00.   You need to add a time context to the profile. Long press the original context as select the add option. Then set both the from: and to: to 8:00 am. Remove the If condition in your task and things should work.

Still can't get it to work. I've daleted the if statement and added the time to the profile as per your advise.

Could you post the exported description?



To post your profile or task here...  Long press on the profile or task name / ( 3 dot menu with 4.0+ ) export / export "DESCRIPTION" to clipboard (not XML)

Any linked tasks will be exported with the profile they are linked to..

To be able to export, The beginner mode needs to be off and the profile needs to be named by you (Not the Tasker listed name.  Tasker will list your profile with the context name if you have not given it one).

Here are some screenshots of my current setup based on your recommendations.  I was testing it to start at 10.08PM - but it never did.

Sorry, did not see your last reply.   I would check the run log. Menu / more / run log to see if the profile is firing at the selected time.

Check also that profile is enabled and Tasker is enabled. And be sure to back out of tasker with the back button to save any cahnges.
