Since this was inspired by this Paul Hibbert Video (so it's not exactly my doing) I've decided to make this one public so everyone can enjoy it :)
I've made some changes to it to make it simpler, by using AutoVoice, but the idea behind it is the same.
If you have an Amazon Echo, you might have realiz...

As you can see from this short video, you'll soon be able to handle multi-clicks on navigation bar icons to launch different tasks! :)
So, for example, you can launch a task when you click the icon once, a different task when you click it twice, etc.
Enjoy!

Did you know that if you set any of AutoWear's element commands to an URL, that URL will be called directly from the watch! Tasker or the phone will not be used at all!
For example, that means that you can do anything that the Join API allows directly from your watch!
For example, you're on a bike ride and want to send ...

2018-11-13 14:47:35 +0000 UTC View PostAs explained at the link, Google is taking away SMS and Call functionalities from Tasker unfortunately.
SMS is one of the most used features in Tasker!
People are justifiably unhappy with this, and trying to convince Google to open an exception for automation apps, which makes all the sense in the world!

Some apps simply can't be rotated, like most launchers. That is, until you bring Tasker in the mix! :)
With the project, all apps will be rotated with your device's rotation, even apps that don't normally support it, like launchers!
Even if you put your device upside down, the app will be rotated so it's upside down as well! :)
