Trigger Tasker from Home Assistant

[sd_dracula]

I would like to be able to trigger a Tasker task on my android phone (to do with changing system settings) from within my HA instance.
I have found a Tasker Home Assistant add-on on the play store but it seems to be just for getting HA data into Tasker and not the other way around which is what I need.
Anyone here done something similar?

Send notifications to the phone that Tasker reacts on.
I use that method

Here is a (simple) post where I describe how:

Turn on Mobile Hotspot?

I actually can’t find an intent to do it with. But as I said, you can use tasker (if you have that installed). You just send a notification to your phone with a title and message and in tasker you create an event on home assistant notification like this: [Screenshot_20210715-130113] The above is equivalent to sending a notification with title: "title" and message: "test" to your phone. And in tasker you can enable wifi hotspot. That way whenever you don’t feel you get enough control over …

That’s not a bad idea however I primarily need this on a wall tablet which is running Fully Kiosk and not the HA app so I wonder if Fully can receive/create notifications as well

The HA app can run in the background?
Or do I miss anything?

Guess it can, I would prefer one less thing to run in the background if possible but hey it works
Now I just need to figure out if I can make Tasker play a radio station on the radio.net app

Hi all,
i know this is an old topic but maybe there is an option available after 3 years.

Basicly what I need is tasker to determ if I’m sleeping, based on shutters are closed and all lights are off (and if I’m home which I already have a variable for in tasker).

I’m a volunteer firefighter and I like to automate things on my phone when I got a call when I’m in bed. If I could get a variable set in tasker, let say “sleeping 0/1”, thats all I need.
I allready connected tasker in HA and works great (from tasker to HA), but I can’t figure out the other way around.

Thanks!

Hi GlennM,

Have you looked at sending a webhook from HA to Tasker? I have HA automation which, when triggered, sends a webhook to Tasker to trigger a task on phone.

Hi ArunGupta,

I already was fiddling around with AutoRemote (tasker plugin) and that worked. Might take a look at webhooks too.

Thanks!
