TaskerHA

The TaskerHA integration allows you to connect the Tasker Android app with Home Assistant.

This makes use of the new HTTP Request event in the latest Tasker Beta. Requires Tasker 6.2+

What it does

1. Expose Tasker profiles as switch entities
2. Expose Tasker tasks as binary_sensor entities
3. Expose Tasker scenes as select entities
4. Expose Tasker global variables as text entities
5. Trigger automations from Tasker commands
6. tasker.perform_task service to perform Tasker tasks, like the Perform Task action in Tasker
7. tasker.send_command service to send Tasker commands, like the Command action in Tasker
8. tasker.backup service to backup Tasker config, like the Data Backup action in Tasker
9. tasker.import_task service to import a Tasker task from XML, like the Import action in Tasker

How to use it

Installation & Setup

Configuration

• Builtin Global Variables
  • Choose builtin Tasker global variables to add as text entities, the same as user-defined global variables.
• Structure Global Variables Outputs
  • Works similar to Tasker. If the output is either JSON, HTML, XML, or CSV, enable this option so that you can easily read its contents via the value_json attribute.
• Track Tasker commands
  • Fire Home Assistant events and trigger automations from Tasker commands. Commands will be queued and fired every scan interval. Disable if you aren't tracking commands in Tasker.
• Scan Interval
  • Tasker data and commands poll rate
