If you are an Android user then you might hear about Tasker as it is the best automation app for Android. However, it is a paid app that costs $4 and worth the money, but also you get the 7 days free trial variant from here. However, after you install Tasker, you can just familiar with the interface. Here are some best tasker profiles in this guide. Come let’s have  a look:

Now, what makes Tasker so robust is its ability to integrate with many other apps and plugins. For example – like to use a custom Google now command. You can then use an Auto voice plugin or like to create a tasker profile for your smartwatch, simply use the Auto wear plugin.

The Tasker developer has developed a plugins ecosystem known as AutoApps. Simply subscribe to 20+ Auto-plugins or purchase them individually. So, let’s have a look at some of the amazing Tasker plugins and how they can be used to improve the Tasker functionality.

List Of Tasker plugins

Here is a complete list of best tasker plugins – Let’s get begin:

AutoVoice

AutoVoice

Do you like to control your Android hands-free? We all love Google Now for its amazing implementation of artificial intelligence on Android. But what if we like to create our own voice commands? The simplest way to do it is after using the AutoVoice plugin of Tasker.

Using AutoVoice you can just create particular voice commands and respond to those commands via tasks. However, there is no logical restriction about what we can do through AutoVoice and it’s all about what your heart wants.

AutoArduino

If you like to integrate Arduino via Android but you have a good knowledge of programming languages such as C++ to achieve this. But if you don’t know this programming language then don’t fret! There’s another method to do it via Tasker.

You don’t want to program your Arduino again just because you can do it remotely through AutoArduino or Tasker through USB-OTG or Bluetooth. If you like to get full control over your Arduino you should purchase the AutoArduino plugin. Alternatively, the free version lets you control only 2 pins on Arduino.

AutoBarcode

AutoBarcode

Do you like to turn your phone into silent mode whenever you are in the office? Well, you have done very easily using location-based profiles. But then every location-based profile drains your mobile battery significantly.

There’s another method to handle this issue after using QR codes and Tasker plugin AutoBarcode. You just scan the QR codes via AutoBarcode at particular places and set a tasker task for it. AutoBarcode plugin is also very essential for Car profiles. You must play your favorite songs when you input your car just simply by scanning a simple QR code.

AutoContacts

If you are looking for an Email ID for specific contact or want to extract a profile picture from a contact. Then AutoContacts is a plugin that lets you perform a particular query on your mobile contacts.

After, performing a query on your mobile contact can enable us to extract all the information related to contact in the tasker variables. It includes Contact name in %acname variable or Contact email ID in %acemail variable etc. However, we can also perform any task we like after using these variables inside Tasker.

AutoInput

AutoInput

There are some actions that can’t let external access from other applications. If we are doing such action in Tasker, then automation involving that action is also impossible. This limitation can be bypassed by the best plugin known as AutoInput.

For instance, to enable Airplane mode on mobile, you want to swipe down the Quick Settings page and then tap on Airplane mode. Now with the help of Auto input, you can then simulate your physical swipe down gesture and then click on the display screen without even touching it. Any action or app that does not lets external access can be controlled via AutoInput after creating custom commands (Macros) which make it the most essential or helpful plugin.

AutoLaunch

Consider a case where you like to launch an app using a voice command, you can then implement this in Tasker. Initially, create a profile using a voice command with the app name and a required task to begin that app. Now, assume you like to begin another app but to do this you like to create one more profile for this new app.

If you like to avoid this hassle, we can then use the AutoLuanch plugin. Using AutoLuacnh we can then launch the app after using a single profile. We can then query the app we have and extract the properties of those applications in Tasker variables.

AutoLocation

AutoLocation-Tasker Plugins

Tasker, without any plugins, doesn’t have lots of options regarding location services. If you like to have much control over the functionality of location-based profiles, then AutoLocation is one of the best options.

AutoLocation uses the Geofences concept of which is a custom radius based circle on the map.  It is a border in which the tasker uses Wi-Fi connections or cellular towers to determine your mobile location. When you are in the Geofence you can use aggressive location tracking like GPS and mobile data. With such amazing control over location services, you can then implement some amazing profiles such as you can make your mobile display the list of shopping items to you whenever you are near a shopping mall.

AutoNotification

Advanced amazing notifications can also be created using the AutoNotification plugin. You can also add buttons, images, and URLs in the notifications using other customization options such as LED and vibration control.

You can also capable of intercepting notifications e.g. we can also extract the app ID corresponding to the current notification in the panel.

So if you are implementing an anti-theft profile – such as find out your mobile location after sending a message. AutoRemote is a handy plugin that you can use to complete your profile as it lets you get messages to your device from a remote location and you can then act on that text to execute your tasks.

You can also send messages from a web browser, your PC, Chrome, or any place where you can call a URL. Taking benefit of this facility we can then control one device(Phone) fully using another device like a computer.

AutoShare

Whenever you hit the share button in either the YouTube app or in the Gallery app, you can view a list of options that can be used to share that particular video or file. But what if we like to create a custom share option? Well, you can do that via the AutoShare plugin.

This plugin lets you create your own custom share commands and you can then link them using the corresponding task in Tasker to do whatever you want!  It also enables us to create our own menu using custom text and images.

This plugin also adds some best functionality to Tasker such as OCR, custom toasts, custom chrome tabs, secure settings, etc. The good part is you don’t want a rooted phone to use this plugin, besides the popular secure settings plugin. Also, some essential features like assignments of commands based on pressure sensitivity on your display screen (3D touch).

AutoAlarm offers you the accurate details of your alarm, making pre-alarm tasks easy to run.

These issues can be fixed via AutoAlarm in no time, however, please remember that AutoAlarm only works using the default Android alarm.
