Ever felt like waking up to an alarm makes you jump with the sudden loud noise?
Ever wonder what it would be like to wake up to one of those fancy wake up lights?

I wanted a screen that would help me wake up in the morning.
I remembered that there are some specialized lights that slowly transition into a sunrise color so that you wake up more naturally.
I thought, why not do the same with an AutoTools Web Screen? :)
So here it is. It's a v...

In case you don't remember, AutoTools has a very robust JSON Reading mechanism :)
A lot of web resources are available in JSON, so if you need to read any in Tasker, AutoTools JSON Read will make it very easy!

You might remember that a lot of phones in the past have had the ability to do this. Basically, a variation of the the new "Flip to Shhh" mechanic has existed for a long time on various Android phones in the past.

2018-10-22 08:49:51 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I just thought I'd share this simple task I use every day:
When I turn off my car, my phone tells me to not forget it inside the car.
But the coolest part about it is that my kids' voices are the ones saying it! :D
I always get a smile on my face when I get out of the car now. :) 2018-10-19 12:08:08 +0000 UTC View Post
So you got your Galaxy Phone, but the Bixby button is practically useless! Fear not, bxActions and Tasker for the rescue! :)

Ever wondered how you can quickly toggle the notch on your phone? Custom Settings to the rescue! :)
This is on a Huawei device, but it might work with others.
Wonder if it would work on a Pixel 3 XL :)

Every day I get emails from people with questions about their Tasker profiles/tasks.
They usually send me their XML files so I can test them out.
