I am fairly new to Tasker and I would like to hear about your clever automations. My automations are mostly location, WiFi and time based ones.

Additionally, I have the Google Play version of Tasker, which has some limitations about the Bluetooth, which are coming from the Play store policies.

Do you think there are any security drawbacks if I install it over GitHub?

    I have a few automations:

    • Between 11pm and 7am, and if not connected to a list of BT headsets or speakers: lower the main media volume to 0.
    • If one of a list of apps is on the main screen: activate screen auto-rotate, then disable it as an exit task.
    • If the phone is less than 30m from the lat/lon of the center of my house: set a variable NEAR_HOME=1, and set NEAR_HOME=0 as an exit task
    • If my phone is not connected to my home SSID and NEAR_HOME isn’t set: activate the Wireguard profile to connect to my home router, and deactivate it as an exit task
    • At 9am every day, issue a notification showing the number of days remaining to a significant date occurring later this year.

    I used to have several more to correct certain idiosyncrasies my phone would have on boot, low battery and a few other repeatable conditions, but those things got fixed with system updates, or ceased to be relevant.
