About Movement Detection
Movement Detection is an add-on app for Tasker or Locale, which lets you detect various types of motion, such as driving in a car, riding a bicycle, or walking - or when NOT doing any one of those things. You can make sure that your "Work" settings aren't triggered until you have stopped driving, or enable Bluetooth & disable Wi-Fi while you are riding in a car.
Please note: this is a plug-in. You MUST have either Locale or Tasker installed for this to work. It is built as a plug-in for either of these, and will never function on its own. If you don't understand what Locale or Tasker are, then please do not install this plug-in. Please do not accuse me of scamming or misleading; I've made this as clear as I know how.
Detected movements: in a moving vehicle, on a bicycle, walking/running, and standing still (i.e., not doing any of those other movements).
Tasker Users: To use: go to Profiles, and add a "State" condition. Within the pop-up that appears, you will see a button labeled "Plugin." Tap that, and you will see "Movement Detection."
Technical Note: If the Location Mode is set to "Device Only", Movement Detection will not work. "High Accuracy" and "Battery Saving", however, will work fine.

I had trouble updating to the full version after trying out the trial version for a while. I emailed the dev and he responded very quickly! He gave me some tips, I still couldn't get it to work (lack of know-how on my end), so I emailed him again and he answered and told me exactly how to do it. Now it works flawlessly!! Thank you for the awesome customevr support! And yes, the plugin works like a charm! :-)

Nice, but sometimes it won't work. My GPS is already calibrated. Maybe I should try out the lower confidence!

I use this plugin to control Tasker profiles to log my location periodically, but only when there's a good chance that it has changed (i.e. moving). I've found the plugin to be very reliable and easy to use. Worth paying for. Nice work dev.

It keeps connecting to the internet in the background for no reason. Not safe. Look elsewhere.

How does the %movement VAR work? Is it a boolean flag? I can't exactly test it out while driving. edit - Thanks! And is it set to null when no movement is detected? or is the variable uninitialized?

Glad to have a plugin that does the job Locale's built-in does, but does so very poorly. This has much better customization and accuracy. A+

Works really well. I had a slight issue with driving detection when my phone was in my pocket in city traffic, contacted the developer and he'd improved the detection within days, what more can you ask for?!

I use it to automatically switch on Bluetooth when I'm in my car. For this automation I use AutoMagic, which supports Tasker plugins.

Another commenter mentioned that stoplights trigger a change. I say that's good! It's responsive, both for walking and driving. I suppose the ability to define a delay could be helpful.

I had an impressively over complicated way of doing this in tasker, you thankfully made it obsolete. Only issue is stop lights...they register a change. Small problem, I'm sure it will be resolved.

Currently the plugin is very slow to react to movement changes. This could be an issue more with Google's detection algorithms, but I am not certain. I am using this with Tasker and setup a profile to start recording to MyTracks when I am out for a walk. I walked for about 15 minutes before it began recording. And it stopped recording about 5 minutes after I had stopped. Not an ideal solution to trigger various tasks when a certain type of movement is detected since it is too slow. I will keep this installed and see how it improves, and update my review as needed.

I'm using this to toggle Waze and Bluetooth off and on with Tasker whenever I'm in my car. Works just as advertised. I have a gnex and cm11

I have been trying different options to automate my phone, specifically to turn Bluetooth on when I get in my car (as I keep forgetting to manually set it). Originally I used tasker to automatically enable Bluetooth at specific times (heading to work, leaving work etc) but this did not account for any other journies. I looked into NFC but it proved too cumbersome and I kept forgetting to tap anyway. This plugin works flawlessly with tasker and turns Bluetooth on and off when it should. Thank you!
