I have my work wifi which to fully connect to it I have to open a browser and basically click a connect button to be fully connected, is there a way to automate this in tasker?

I wrote one answer below. It's still an option, but you may be better investigating this first....
Under "Net," there are HTTP-Get and HTTP-Post actions. I'm not an HTTP expert, but I would suggest dissecting the gateway webpage to see if you can use these actions to get through.
------------- First thought ----------------------------
Is your device rooted?
If yes, then you might try the "Type" action in the Input actions. The documentation is very limited, so I don't know what you can and can not generate. I'm automating websites on Windows using Autohotkey, and Enter is the "best" character for hitting website buttons. I don't know if you can generate special characters from the Type action.
Detecting when to issue the Type action is another matter. A timer delay is simple to do, but "dumb" with respect to the website status.
Thanks for the reply I'll look at dissecting the the page.

Hey everybody, I am posting this here cause I just built a new parental control, remote administration and practical joke app for Android called caesura. Caesura is a remote administration app that allows an Android phone to be controlled via SMS messages, in much the same was as one can post to Facebook via SMS.
By sending the !login command to the phone in question and then texting back the password, you can signal the phone to start listening for commands. These commands include panic (turn up the volume all the way and ring and flash lights to help find lost phone), status (find out how much battery life the phone has left and get other info), contacts (in case you forgot your phone at home, u can still access your address book), block (block all SMS messages from specified number, useful for parental control),.and many more.
Like I said, this is just a beta so I'm open to any suggestions
The app can be downloaded from this page on my website:
http://www.gundersoft.com/pages/downloads/caesura
As of yet this work is beta...it doesn't have decent instructions...these are forth coming. For now, the three commands you need to know are as follows: !login logs in to the remote phone. Help command (replace command with the name of a command you need help with) gives help related to command usage, and exit logs you out of the remote phone. Make sure you always use the exit command when finished! You cannot send any texts to the remote phone from the phone you used to control it while logged in.
for a list of the available commands, use the "login to another phone" button to control the phone instead of SMS. In this console there is a drop down menu containing all of the commands.
Finally, for the sake of research, every copy of this app "calls home" the first time it launches to register the version number so I can keep track of roughly how many of each version of caesura out in the wild lol.
Tell me what you think of all of this!

I'm looking for a way to use data from Torque in Tasker.
I want to take data from torque and use it to drive actions in Tasker. Specifically, I'd like to turn the screen on when the engine comes on. Is anyone aware of previous work done in this area that might get me started? Or, would I need to code a Tasker plugin?
I'm aware I could accomplish this using ACC power as the on/off flag, but I'd like to charge the tablet at all times and not just when the car is running.
I know this is an old post but I'm interested in this same thing. My goal is to actually get intake air temperatures onto my pebble watch by passing them from Torque to Tasker and finally to the Pebble.
Hi, so still nothing new *push*
I'd also like to integrate Torque variables into Tasker very much. E.g. disabling the security keyguard as long as the motor is running, enable security when the motor is off. (So you can leave your phone in the car with others whilst refueling...
Any ideas?

Hi
You'll need to use the AIDL 'api' interface that Torque supports to talk to it. Sensors information is retrieved only when it is asked for (and if the data was broadcast over intents, android would probably go slow when you're doing upwards of 100sensors/second refresh rates)
The AIDL interface will be the way forwards to get what you want though (then you can do with it what you want in terms of rebroadcasting if you want) - there's some information on it on here: http://torque-bhp.com/forums/?wpforumaction=viewtopic&t=438.0 which should be enough to get people started
Tasker plugin for Torque Pro
Is anyone working on this? It would be very useful to be able to have Tasker monitor Torque variables and be able to perform actions based on their values.

I've been able to do this following some disperse advice from the web.
Torque
As you see, Torque is able to write a CSV file with selected parameters. All that it basically does is to add a line at the end of that file listing those parameters values. In its settings you can change the frequency of modifications to that file. In my device this file is stored at /storage/emulated/0/torqueLogs/trackLog.csv.
Tasker
Once in Tasker you should set a profile to act on each change done by Torque to it. I've found the profile to be Event > File Modified and to retrieve those parameters inside the file, set up a task that runs the following Shell Command:
tail -1 /storage/emulated/0/torqueLogs/trackLog.csv
This retrieve the last line of the file and stores the output inside a variable. I called it %OBDLOG. A second action inside this task splits this Comma Separated Values (CSV) from that last line using the action Variable Split, and the separator ",". This creates N variables named %OBDLOGN. Example: %OBDLOG1, %OBDLOG2, %OBDLOG3...
Done that, we have to check which value corresponds to the parameter we want.
Bonus Info
You might want to clean this file once it reaches a specific size.
I've done this so that I can say commands through Bluetooth usingTasker Plugin AutoVoice. You can check the logic used by me to say the Coolant Temperature once it reaches 70ºC in the attached image.
Sorry not to be able to link outside. XDA prevents me as I'm a newbie! hehe
Cheers!
I'm having trouble finding the trackLog.csv file. I have files in the .torque folder on my sdcard but what options in logging do you have to enable to generate loss in the torqueLogs folder?

Just set up something similar. Setup torque as describer by "dirceucorsetti" above, except I dont use "log rotation".
Below is for tasker.
Profile: Torque
State-Net-BT Near
Name-find your OBD adapter in the list
Min uses regular old BT, so I had to check "Standard Devices"
Enter Task:Start Torque
Exit Task: Stop Torque
Task: Start Torque
App-Launch App-Torque
Task: Stop Torque
Misc-Send-Intent
Action-org.prowl.torque.REQUEST_TORQUE_QUIT
Package-org.prowl.torque
Script-Run Shell
Command- tail -1/storage/emulated/0/torqueLogs/trackLog.csv
Store output in- %OBDLOG
Net-Compose Email
Recipient - your email
Subject - TorqueLog - %DATE
Message-%OBDLOG
File-Delete File
File- torqueLogs/trackLog.csv
Of course you could send the file anywhere. I just wanted to share how I start and stop torque automatically. That seemed to always be the issue.
Interestingly I can also start Waze in this task. I could never figure out how to get taker to detect when I was driving. Until I remembered the OBD adapter.
good info! I started googling about tasker and torque integration not really expecting much result. I want to build a custom interface to run on my in-dash nexus7 that reflects some of the torque info/stats. Thats a good start!
Also found this listing of torque intents and data it logs.

Not exactly on topic, but do you guys have any idea how to launch a torque plugin from tasker? I'd love to get my racing dash to launch automatically, but I cant seem to figure out how to make that happen.
I would like to see an actual plugin for torque. Just starting to work with it. Would like to use utter to announce things. And autovoice to ask it questions. Never can get torque to tell me its at operating temp. Also looking for any more creative ideas from people. This could be fun.

Back at it after updating tablet to "m". I have my 9 variables I want and that keep refreshing. But after I rename them it just replaces it and the renamed variable says at the same number. What am I missing. Also had to change "tail -1" to "tail -n 1" for it to read last line.

I've got some questions that I'm a little confused with, hope someone can shed some light on them.
1) say if I have SSH-Server or Sabnzbd running on the "Desktop version" and you undock, can you still access the server running on your desktop version from the mobile side?
2) If you have an app open on the desktop version say a document or a picture is that then accessible on the mobile side? and will it be the same app or will it know to switch to a different mobile app?
3) if you start to download something or transferring files on the desktop and undock what would happen? will it continue to copy/download or will it stop?
I appreciate that maybe no one could answer these questions until the image is released but what are your views on them?
Thanks

I think its like you suspend your computer. When undocking the computer suspends ie. all the things you mention will pause. But I'm not sure.

Obviously I don't actually know how these things will be handled.
But I think I would do it like this:
For the initial release of the OS, I would basically kill and reboot the whole thing when switching modes. Getting a working product is critical for initial release, and all of those type of things would create potential for weird conflicts to arise.
So on day 1, I would not support any of those things.
But a lot of them (like an SSH server) could probably be supported safely. So once I was comfortable with the basic OS working correctly, I might adding things like that into a future release of the OS, first allowing by exception, and then, if everything was working smoothly, denying by exception for apps that simply cannot make that transition.
Last would be the open in a different app. Let's say I use Chrome on the desktop, but Dolphin on the mobile interface. It might be possible to write a helper app that would take your Chrome browser state and replicate it near as possible in your Dolphin app on transition, and vice versa. My guess is this type of functionality would be pretty cool, but very low on a priority list for a new OS.
I have just recently started using Tasker for some simple tasks like turning on/off GPS or WiFi, silencing my phone, etc... And I am trying to figure out how to set up a task to sign in to secured WiFi SSIDs. My work and school both require you to "sign in" before you can use their WiFi, so my phone tells my whenever it connects, to "Sign into Wi-Fi Network". Both of them are different however. My work is a simple checkbox to "agree" to the store's conditions My school, I actually have to type in my student information.
What I would like to do is make a task to automate that signing in process as soon as my phone connects to the WiFi. Has anyone done anything like this or have any suggestions how to go about it?
Tasker is a very powerful app whose full capabilities I personally haven't even started to scratch...play around especially with creating variables under the NET > Wifi Connected/Near task or profile and I think you'll be able to write a simple profile to do this for you. Best way to do this is when you're actually on/near that network so you can automatically pull in the details of the Mac address or SSID...
You can start by looking here to see if you can "kang" one profile/task or so
http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
Under Advanced category on this wiki look to see how you can modify the Wifi Auto Start/Stop profile...
I tried to do something like this a long time ago but figured it.

I'm afraid I may have to write some sort of script to handle the authentication. I can make it check to see if I'm connected, and I should be able to see if I have connectivity or not, but I don't know where to go from there.
EDIT: On further examination, I don't see a way to check WiFi connectivity or speeds.

I solved one of them!!! I was able to get it (I think, haven't field tested yet) to work with my work WiFi Here's my setup:
State: Wifi Connected Guest,*,* (Name of SSID is Guest)
1. Browse URL *the URL for the login page*
2. Run Shell [Command: sleep 0.1; input tap 50 715; sleep 0.025; input tap 620 800 Timeout: 0 Use Root: Yes]
The coordinates in the "input tap" sections are the coordinates for the "agree" checkbox, and the "agree" button, respectively This seems to work awesome, but I have to try it when I'm there. I'm now going to try and figure out how to make it do it while the phone is asleep
BTW, an easy way to get those coordinates is to turn on "Show Pointer Location" in Developer Settings.

Can you explain how to interpret the coordinate figures from using the "show pointer location"
Mine are P: 0/1

Which ones are relevant to the command line? Can you provide a relevant command line for those readings. It is just one ok button that needs to be pressed.
Thanks in advance!
Okay so I just used an app called Wifi Web Login.

Thanks so much for posting this! I had a similar problem where my Wifi at work requires users to accept the TOS every time they login. For me I just have to click on a log in button. The tap command would have been too complicated because there was a lot of scrolling to get to the accept button at the bottom of the page. My solution was very similar and uses the input keyevent shell command which simulates key presses on the keyboard. You could probably use this method to input your login information by using the right sequence of simulated keyboard presses. For my situation the pertinent key presses are keyevent 61 which is Tab, to highlight and advance through elements on the page, and keyevent 66 which is enter, to "click" on the accept button. I found a complete list of keyevent codes on the android developers website by goggling "input keyevent android"
1. Browse URL (login page link) - This opens it in my default browser which is chrome.
2. Run Shell (input keyevent 61; input keyevent 61; input keyevent 61; input keyevent 61; input keyevent 61; input keyevent 61; input keyevent 61; input keyevent 61; input keyevent 66) - This will tab through the links on the login page until the accept button is highlighted and then the enter key will be pressed.
I'm kind of a newb and this is my first post so if anyone has any tips for shortening my shell command please let me know. I was trying to figure out how to press Shift and Tab simultaneously to take me directly to the last element on the page (which is the accept button) but couldn't figure it out. I would be super grateful if anyone could share how to do this.
I am trying something similar. My problem is that the login "page" is a notification based Android System popup. If I could get tasker to load the notification I can use intents to fill out the fields. Any ideas?
For any future people, this is not hard to accomplish through direct and "proper" means.
Create a profile that detects when you connect to a network, and in tasker, check through Java code whether you're connected or not, and if not, connect by having tasker POST the data
Easy, fast, direct， and no need to do anything like simulating key presses
To get the URL and data fields you need for POST , you'll need to do a little dev debugging to figure it out. (Check the HTML)
Find the Java code in the first answer, isWalledGardenConnection()
https://stackoverflow.com/questions...cted-internet-access-captive-portal-detection
Working great for me, check my screenshot
P.S. You can see my tasker profile and task scripts for an example
Can you expand on this and post login for Starbucks,
Wendy's etc?

I recently posted a question in Q&A about any TV remote apps that can be voice controlled. No luck. I stumbled upon this tasker plugin by Ozkaya that is awesome. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45572797. It allows you to program your IR remote with Pronto hex codes(many found here http://www.remotecentral.com/ as posted in the Dev's thread).
I combo'd this with Utter! and like magic, I was able to program voice controllable macro's, functions, anything really as long as the hex codes were available. And there is alot of them. I have Verizon Fios and the motorola codes worked for my box even though they weren't the same model. To me, this is an awesome show off tool (and slightly practical if I am eating chicken wings and need to switch between football games!). I literally say "phone" to wake up utter and "channel back" or "ESPN". as a command.
I did nothing here but stumble upon a combo of apps that work great together. If you like the idea please check out the thread and thank the Dev's and support their work. I feel this is one of those gems that slipped back a few pages and got lost. Hope you like it too.

I used it on Alpha and Gravitron. I don't believe there would be any limitations on any Rom as long as Tasker and Utter! are installed. The rest is just setting up the codes and then setting Utter to use the Tasker plugins.
If someone really wants to get tweaky, here is another plugin for Tasker that will initiate the voice recognition in Utter! when the phone is on charge and the stop it when is taken off charge. Its towards the bottom of the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34339449.
