Add Tasker integration #32

Closed eater closed 9 years ago

eater commented 10 years ago

This is the one thing I really miss from Astrid.

abaker commented 10 years ago

I'm not familiar with Astrid's Tasker integration. I read that this required the Astrid Locale plugin which was not open source. Was Tasker integration only for location based reminders or were there other features?

StingerAJ commented 10 years ago

It should be easy to do even without the Locale plugin due to Astrids interoperability with other apps.

E.g. in the location-based app I am using, Llama, you can define areas (by cell id by default, but there are other options), and then based on an area-related condition (like "when I am near my favorite grocery store"), open a specific app-shortcut (Astrid has the shortcut "Astrid list or filter", where you can e.g. open your grocery list).

Tasker should provide a similar option to open a specific Astrid-list or filter based on a specific condition.

StingerAJ commented 10 years ago

BTW, the Astrid Locale plugin only provided the option to open a specific list from Locale (it seems Locale wasn't able to open a specific Astrid-list otherwise).

The conditions to trigger Astrid are completely flexible, though and could be time-related or have any other condition supported by the context-awareness app.

I guess what I was wondering is if I implemented geofence reminders would it take care of this?

eater commented 10 years ago

Geofencing would be better than nothing, but not as good as Tasker integration, which provides a lot more.

StingerAJ commented 10 years ago

As I said Tasks/Astrid should be usable from Tasker already, give it a try.

eater commented 10 years ago

I'm not seeing a way to do this -- I can open the Tasks app from Tasker, but I can't trigger a reminder.

StingerAJ commented 10 years ago

Yeah it seems Tasker doesn't provide that action without the locale plugin. I know that Llama does however, it is surprising as Tasker used to be the best one around.

abaker commented 10 years ago

So you want a shortcut that will trigger a reminder for a specific task?

eater commented 10 years ago

A reminder for a particular list.

:+1: I would use this feature to show a notification for a work list when I arrived at work.

StingerAJ commented 10 years ago

Install this plugin for tasker, it should enable to use an Astrid list shortcut: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autoshortcut

Astrid showed a notification that would take you to that list. I think along with that idea, the notification should only show if there are incomplete items in the list.

vbjay commented 10 years ago

Tasker and Local already allow you to choose a shortcut to run. AutoShortcut is not needed.

abaker commented 10 years ago

I will look in to adding the ability to trigger list and task notifications from a shortcut in the future

StingerAJ commented 10 years ago

Jay, where does Tasker provide a task to open a shortcut from another app? A short pointer to this would be helpful. Thanks!

Well you can launch any intent. Locale has a shortcut option. I thought I saw something in Tasker too but I was wrong. On Oct 10, 2013 3:48 AM, "StingerAJ" notifications@github.com wrote:

ehausen commented 10 years ago

I think it would be most useful if you could have smart location reminder options like

(Can this already be accomplished with some llama/tasker trick? Maybe by using "android intent"? I can launch a list/filter with llama, but the list might be empty and then it's unnecessary)

abaker commented 9 years ago

I created locale-plugin yesterday and a beta release will be available soon. Locale and tasker feature requests/issues can go here.
