Blackbird Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) I have used mobilic plugin as a task within the Tasker app, but I want to create a program where every time my garage door opens, the phone will beep (not email) but I tasker wont let me choose mobilinc plugin as a state. Any ideas? Thanks Edited March 10, 2015 by Blackbird
ravedog Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I think you're trying to push to Mobilinc. You have it backwards. Mobilinc pulls from the ISY994I. what you do is find your device in Mobilinc > Advanced Options > at the bottom Notification Settings > choose On or Off > then fill out a custom message. It is really robust. I've killed most of my notifications from the ISY994i and used Mobilinc as my Notification Center. Be warned: the notifications work really well but on iOS they get sent to Notification Center and as duck they are limited by notification center's message limit which I think is 10. Unlike most apps that have noticed, when you click on them they take you to their corresponding app and show you a list of notices. Mobilinc has no such list or log to review. I've spoken to Wes about adding such a repository to review unseen notifications. He's really good about making changes he sees as good additions.

Well my question was more of how to do this with the Tasker app on android. Are you saying mobilinc sends notifications? I don't see that as an option. Maybe just for iphone.
ravedog Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I apologize I misunderstood that this was Android. Yes, on iOS it has the ability to push notifications. When you are looking at a specific device, under advanced options, is there nothing there for "Notifications?" Wes (Mobilinc Developer)? Can you chime in here?
Blackbird Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 Mobilinc is a great app but I cant understand why there are much more features on the apple app when ios has only 18% of the smartphone market vs android. I hope more focus from mobilinc will be spent on android in the future.
MWareman Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Get Autoremote (same developer as Tasker), and you can setup network resources (network module required) and have Tasker act on them. I wrote this up on the wiki.
Blackbird Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Is there another way to do this with Tasker without spending $50 for the network module? By the way thanks for suggesting Autoremote looks interesting
MWareman Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 You could look at services that accept email and talk to Tasker. Pushover comes to mind, but I have not spent much time on the Pushover=>Tasker interface.
Blackbird Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 I already get the emails but I just wanted tasker to create a sound for open and a sound for close
Jimbo.Automates Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Email to pushover and Tasker can act on it, I have a tablet that uses text to speech to read some pushover notifications. I use network module to talk to pushover api, but you could use emails. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
MWareman Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Yep. Install pushover on device. Set Tasker task to play sound when certain pushover message is received. Send email to Pushover email interface and done. Personally, I use Autoremote and the network interface and find it fairly instant. Email can have delays.

Jimbo.Automates Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Sorry, life gets in the way of reading forums sometimes :-/ Yes that should work. I don't remember, but I don't think pushover Android app is free. I tried to use pushbullet, but Tasker doesn't have access to what is in the message, but you probably could use it to make a specific sound when one is received. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
MWareman Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 There is a trick with Pushbullet, but I've not found it very reliable. Pushbullet can automatically set the device clipboard to the content of the message, then Tasker can read the clipboard.

I wish I could use pushbullet, but for this reason, and because pushover has high priority I have stayed with it for my notifications. But it is on my list to look at autoremote, just waiting for variable support in the network module since I'll redo everything when that is working. Oh, and there is a new Tasker pushbullet plugin I need to check out as well. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Edited March 13, 2015 by Jimbo
Blackbird Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Im trying to figure out pushbullet. In tasker does the profile need to be event then the pushbullet pluggin?
Jimbo.Automates Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Yes, then enter your desired text in the pushbullet plugin filter configuration. Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Blackbird Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Then do I direct my isy notification to pushbullet or just to my regular email that I have been doing?
Blackbird Posted March 13, 2015 Author Posted March 13, 2015 Tutorials only show how to push a message to and from a pc
MWareman Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) Pushbullet needs either the ISY network module, or you need to add IFTTT as a middle tier. Pushbullet do not operate an email to push gateway. Pushover does operate an email to push interface - but its not free. Notify my android also operates an email to push interface, and a Tasker trigger. Might want to look at that one as well. Most of us doing this use the network module - its generally much faster and more reliable. However, network module does not support variable substitution. That will be fixed sometime in the 5.x timeframe.... Edited March 13, 2015 by MWareman
Blackbird Posted March 14, 2015 Author Posted March 14, 2015 I didnt see a tasker plugin for notify my android
MWareman Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 I didnt see a tasker plugin for notify my androidJust added one on my phone. Trigger your profile on 'Event' and NotifyMyAndroid is under '3rd party events'. There you can set your filters to trigger on.
