[quote=“stearic, post:83, topic:173172”][quote=“garrettwp, post:76, topic:173172”]Or use the home screen shortcut to go directly to the voice recognition.
Garrett[/quote]While an easy option, it may not be exactly what some of us would like. Me for example i have a moto x and i can do a google search with just my voice w/out having to touch the phone. Now combine with xposed, a google search api, autovoice & tasker, i have it setup so i can control xbmc with out touching my phone. It would be nice to add being able to add controlling different things in my house to the list of things i can do with out having to touch my phone. Just a thought/explanation.[/quote]
Did you ever figure out a solution to go directly into the the voice recognition screen?
I would also like to basically say “Ok Vera” from any screen or the home screen and then say my voice command, or say “Ok Google, Vera turn on the kitchen lights” as one phrase and have Google Now, via autovoice, pass on “turn on kitchen lights” to Authomation’s voice recognition (and not try and recreate it in Tasker with intents)
I can use the shortcut, but that still means I need a hand free and I’m not chopping vegetables or picking up a needy toddler. Thanks.

Not a perfect solution, but what I have worked out in case others are looking for this. Is to use Auto Shortcut to trigger the voice features within Authomation.
For example, “Ok Google” → brings up Google Now voice
“Vera” → using AutoShortcut in Tasker brings me to the Authomation voice prompt
“Turn on kitchen lights” → kitchen lights come on
All without touching anything. I do have to pause between commands though.

I think you could also try an app called Comandr for Google now. I believe that has tasker integration also. I recently downloaded it. Trying to use it in a manner you suggested in this post is on my to do list list

As stearic mentioned, AutoVoice is an option. It would result in fewer steps.
Garrett, surely if both CommandR and AutoVoice figured out ways to do this, it must be possible. Don’t get me wrong, I greatly appreciate your work and I imagine there are better targets for development time but all the same…
Also, I’m not sure if others are aware, but if you need sceneids for tasker configuration and you’ve jumped to UI7, you need to pull them from an address such as this since there are currently unavailable in the UI.
[quote=“silencery, post:97, topic:173172”][quote=“jventerprises, post:90, topic:173172”]So I see intents to set data, but what if i want to get data? From a window sensor for example. and then take actions in Tasker based on this setting…
I have looked and looked and must be missing a post about it…[/quote]
[ul][li]To test, select Add action - select “Alert” then “Flash”[/li]
[li]In the Flash configuration page, enter %HTTPD in the text field[/li]
[li]If everything is working, tasker will flash the status value of your vera device when you hit Play to test. After checking, you can use the %HTTPD variable however you like[/li][/ul][/quote]
this is great -
relevant, but slightly OT question, but just curious … why does accessing via URL require password, but AuthomationHD automatically finds my vera, serial number, and user name?
Does the API method not require user/password? probably more a question for Garret.
edit nevermind - i realize that the info above is for reaching via external WAN.

I know you may be waiting for an official API solution but there is an option for rooted user using a Xposed module. I know the downloadable module through Xposed doesn’t support the latest version of Google Now.
This link will work for the latest version (if you are interested): Redirect Notice
I’m able to use the Tasker plugin AutoVoice to launch different AutHomation HD tasks from my Moto 360. Which might beg to ask the question of why I / we need Google Now implementation. Personally, would like to get status updates. That’s not part of the AutHomation Tasker plugin (as far as I can tell).
At any rate, the app kicks total butt. Keep up the great work!
I am getting an error using “Trigger” app on android, when I ask it to run authomation://s/VeraID/sceneID . I made sure that I have substituted VeraID and sceneID with the correct numbers, and have been testing it by manually running the task from Trigger. So, the intent does seem to get across to AuthomationHD app (using version 3.3.1.4), however I get notification saying "ERROR: no valid configuration. Please set …" - I cannot read the rest as it seems to have gotten truncated. I tried to read into authomationhd logs,and found this:
11-08 08:18:14.028 D/AutHomation( 9591): GetDataService → onStartCommand(): Intent contains no vera id!
The same URI worked perfectly on my other android phone (I have Trigger & AuthomationHD installed on both); so am not sure what I m missing.

Can you please provide more info on how you got it to work with your 360?
I mainly want to unlock my front door.
I’m not too familiar with tasker. I’ve mainly imported tasks that others have shared on forums.
There is apparently a Tasker Plugin called AutoWear, which should eliminate the need for root, Xposed, and the Google Search API. I haven’t tried it yet, nor do I know if it’s come out of beta.
I can go into a little more detail if you have everything installed above. It’s been a while since I set it up, so I don’t know off the top of my head.

Nexus 5, rooted on lollipop (5.0.1) so no xposed :(.
I do have tasker, autovoice and autowear. I have no idea where to start any info/guidance would be really appreciated.
Edit: forgot to mention I do have authomationHD (latest beta) installed and configured properly.

Sorry. I don’t use AutoWear. For what it’s worth, AutoVoice has been broken since the recent Google Search update. I need to go look to see if they updated some of the apks for it to work properly.
I’ve successfully created a Task in Tasker to unlock my front door. I created a shortcut for it on my home screen and I can lock and unlock my door by tapping it.
This isn’t directly related to AutHomationHD but I want to be able to do it from my watch (Moto 360). I have Wear Mini Launcher installed and I’m wondering if there’s a way to create a shortcut/icon in wear mini launcher that I can tap to run the task. I installed AutoWear (along with a few other android wear tasker apps) and AutoVoice and messed with them but still can’t figure out how to accomplish this.
Any insight or where I should go for more assistance would be great.
Thinking about adding a NFC for Vera. This is my first venture into NFC so excuse my ignorance
Assume I get one device working, do I need to repeat the steps to program each other device?
If I’m reading things correctly, the NFC tag stores a set of command and the phone would also need the same apps Taska, Llama and NFC task launcher etc… to perform the task?
I know this is a dead thread, but I found it, so maybe others are also… Here are instructions I found for NFC tags:
3rd Party App Integration (Tasker, Llama)
Tasker:
Open the Tasker app
Go to the Tasks tab by tapping it at the top
Press the “+” button at the bottom in the middle
Name your new task (“Turn On Office Lamp” for example), and press the check mark
Press the blue “+” button
Select “Misc”
Select “Send Intent”
In the first text box under “Action”, enter the following without quotes: “android.intent.action.VIEW”
Further down the screen there’s a text box for “Data”, where you enter the string that will perform the action you want. For our example, we’ll be turning a light on. [for a full list of the syntax for performing different actions, see this page]
To turn on the light on my desk, I enter the following without quotes: “authomation://device/31234567/36/on”
Next, scroll to the bottom of this window and press the dropdown under “Target” and select “Activity”
Press the green check mark
Press the green check mark again
NFC Task Launcher App Instructions:
Launch NFC Task Launcher
Click the plus sign at the top right corner of the app.
Select either “New Task” or “New Switch” (if you want to toggle between actions).
Enter a tag name (can be anything you want to help identify the tag action).
Press the “Add actions” button.
Select “Applications & Shortcuts”
Select “URL” and click next.
Enter the authomation uri syntax. For a scene it would be with out quotes “authomation://scene/1234567/20”
Where 1234567 is the vera unit id and 20 is the scene number to run.
Press OK when done entering the uri in the dialog box.
Click on the “Save & Write” tag at the top right hand corner.
In the options section, uncheck “write tag name”. (This will free up some data to be written to the tag)
Place tag on the bottom of your phone and let the tag writer write to the tag.
Once the tag is written, you should be good to go and the tag should function as intended.
any info/guidance would be really appreciated.
