AutoRemote for Android
No longer have to use calendar entries for tablet actions,which i was finding unreliable due to syncing problems. Now i can send a message to the tablet to turn its flashlight on to act as a night light en route home at night or early morning and the message is sent in approx 13 seconds. The tablet sends a reply, when the message is received, reasonably quickly. Also used to control tablet volume match phone at home and become silent when away.
Unusable since IFTTT changed their maker channel into webhooks. No tutorials align anymore, and doing everything manually, this app fails to give a valid url as the key is always invalid. Sending test message always yields "Service Not Available"
This app has been around for a while and it is awesome! Even my old devices running the ancient JellyBean OS can run this app! This Tasker plugin falls nothing short of amazing! I use this app to allow ALL my android devices (and Windows PCs) to communicate w/ each other! For example, I have 6 IP Webcams setup around my house for Security. (3 old phones, 1 Tablet, Nvidia Shield, Windows 8 Laptop). All of these can be switched On/Off using my Phone and/or Windows 7 PC (w/ EventGhost and Chrome Browser AutoRemote AddOn). I can share battery info w/ all my devices, reboot my devices and much, much more. If you're into automation like I am, do yourself a favor and just d/l all of joao's plugins. Sure, there might be a learning curve involved b/c of the massive amount of options this dev brings to Tasker, but there is a forum and the dev is very quick to respond to any questions or concerns!
Why i am not getting qr code
Update: The plugin download link is fixed. Plugin works well.
This app makes you and your phone limitless with control possibilities! Love it!
:) Great App , Well Worth The Asking Price
Extremely powerful app with great developer support.
Dat quota tho...
I was using this app just fine. Now it crashes immediately upon opening, with error messages.
Used to work great, but now can never rely on it to actually send message when it is supposed to
This was a paid app when i purchased it a couple years ago. So why does it now have adverts that make me wait to continue to settings pages...
Works well. Only thing i wish it had is direct bluetooth connectivity between devices
App makes so many things possible in home automation using tasker and IFTTT.
Lots of notifications and it still doesn't do what I wanted.
:) Great App , Well Worth The Asking Price
very useful as tasker does
Great app. I hope someone develop mac desktop app to make it more perfect
Best way to connect many devices and computers.
Dope app!
:) Great App , Well Worth The Asking Price
Awesome app, commands with Zapier and IFTTT is now amazing!!!! Thanks!
Fantastic!
It works great with event ghost!
((Great App))
Phenomenal.
Works perfectly
Excellent!
Originally I had a problem getting a working URL, but when I emailed the developer, joaomgcd, he responded almost immediately. Now I've got a working URL and I'm really impressed that he would focus on helping just one single person. If you ever have a problem with one of his apps, he's sure to help you sort it out.
Must have bought all your apps I could. Just too many things your apps make easier using tasker. I'm sure autoapps is good for some but subscriptions really isn't my thing :)
This is arguably the most essential of all of the AutoApps plug-ins for Tasker, as it allows your devices to communicate with one another, passing messages and files back and forth via wi-fi, Bluetooth, GCM and Google Drive. If it rankles slightly that this plug-in's asking price is more than that of Tasker itself, consider that this is more indicative of altruism on the part of the latter's developer than of greed on the part of the individual behind this app. The documentation is lacking, and the language used to describe concepts and configuration options in the app can be confusing and inconsistent. This is compounded by the fact that third-party articles and tutorials often refer to obsolete versions of the plug-in. All of this makes for a steep learning curve for the beginner, but the same is true of the underlying Tasker, too. If you persevere, the clouds will eventually start to part and you'll find yourself adding simple peer-to-peer networking to your Tasker projects. Note that AutoRemote offers no end-to-end encryption whatsoever, so any messages you send are only as safe as the underlying network layer.
Would be perfect if could finally sort out dodgy theming / icon inconsistency between activities. and default notification icon to be white, per android design guides.
I don't know how Joao does it, but this is seriously amazing. I've automated... A lot. With this. It's crazy. Makes server administration both stupid-simple and, well, pretty, since I can pipe controls to a widget on my homescreen. Crazy stuff.
We use AutoRemote for everything. Phones, tablets, computers, TV. I had no idea how much we rely on AutoRemote until I tried to make use of an old phone (Android 2.1) and couldn't install it. A brilliant app, and the second app to be installed (after Tasker).
Great app, great dev. Makes me life way easier with Tasker and cross-device communication, plus Joao is amazing and is willing to help anyone and everyone that has an issue.
Re-read the part where joao ask for a direct contact before leaving negative review, will update .
On Android 2.3.4 I get an invalid package file. It works on my newer Android phone though.
This is a great app but please find a way to stop the AutoRemote Wifi service from being stopped. I have to start it manually about every 6 - 8 hours cause it gets stopped. Thanks
My phones stop getting messages after about an hour. The only way to get messages again is to reboot. Push Notification Fixer does not help, even with all phones rooted. The Dev's support email address returns a delivery failure and his support forum will not allow me to post a question.

Fantastic app! Using it more and more all the time, yet know I've only scratched the surface of its capabilities. However, for some time now, the achievements feature sign-in hasn't worked for me, failing with "Unknown issue with Google Play Services". It's a shame because it works for all the other plugins, and i use them for ideas of new stuff to try...
