PebbleTasker
$2.45About PebbleTasker
Control Tasker directly from your Pebble watch. Supports Pebble Time Round.
Choose three tasks to activate anytime without taking your phone out of your pocket. Have these tasks change based on Tasker profiles. Want to access navigation tasks while driving, but also have home automation tasks while at home? Need more than three tasks? Chain tasks together or take advantage of the 20-task secondary menu (by holding the middle button). Program PebbleTasker to open up or close based on Tasker events, so that your three tasks are ready to be used as soon as you get in your car or get home.
--> REQUIRES TASKER by Crafty Apps. Make sure you have Tasker installed before installing PebbleTasker.
Also requires latest Pebble firmware. Check the firmware inside the Pebble app if you have any issues.
Link to Tasker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
INSTRUCTIONS: Inside Tasker, go to the Preferences menu, and under the Misc tab, make sure "Allow External Access" is enabled.
Tasker must already be installed before installing this app. If PebbleTasker still doesn't work, please uninstall and reinstall the app.
If you're getting a "Loading..." screen that won't go away, you need to update your Pebble's firmware to the latest version. Check inside the Pebble app under the 3-dot menu for the "Check for FW Update" option. If you're running the latest version, restart the watch by pressing the middle button for more than 10 seconds, and toggle the Bluetooth on your phone. That should fix it.
PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE LEAVING A REVIEW IF YOU'RE NOT COMPLETELY HAPPY! I will do my best to try to solve whatever issues you are having so that you can enjoy the app to its full potential!
-----------------------------
Changes in 1.4:
New Tasker plugin:
- Now custom tasks are separate from the default ones, allowing one to restore to a default menu with much ease through Tasker.
- You can now open AND close the watch app through Tasker.
- The plugin now shows a more useful description for the specific action.
- New tasks menu! Supports up to 20 tasks. This will be improved as the Pebble API gets more mature. Loading a short menu can be quick, but loading a full 20-task menu may take up to 10 seconds. Press and hold the middle button to activate.
- Tasks can now be renamed for the Pebble's screen.
- Press-and-hold actions for the top and down buttons can now be assigned to separate tasks.
- You can now choose to close the watch app after executing a certain task.
- Ability to close the watch app if it hasn't been used for a while (3 minutes of no data communication).
- Enabled support for populating the Glance Tasker menu with the main three tasks from PebbleTasker. This is useful if you use Glance, but don't want to set up intents through Tasker. This feature is beta!

Please keep up the great work! I love how easy it was to make my pebble time even more invaluable to control my Harmony hub using tasker. Update: Lately, it has been getting error. I have to start the app for it to show my tasks. Can this be fixed? Is the PebbleReceiver not working?

I love this app. For ones who need more than 20 tasks in the menu, you can made a menu with submenues with Tasker and the PebbleTasker plugin for Tasker. One thing I miss is the old way it worked. In the firsts versions you can read the time inside the watch application. Now, when running it, you have a watch that didn't tell the time. Please fix it!

Mixed with NFC tags or bluetooth triggers, and I can easily have the right controls on my wrist depending on where I am. My car mode has buttons to flip to waze, torque, and slacker. When in the car, the app stays active on my wrist. When my car exit script is called, I flip back to the default profile and have the app on the watch exit to my watchface automatically. AWESOME!

Great glue between Tasker and Pebble classic. The Pebble does periodically lose settings and needs a refresh. Also, some tsks only seem to work when the phone is screen is on and unlocked. Could be the way I'm using it.

Works great with my Pebble Time Steel. But with my Pebble 2 the middle button long click doesn't seem to work. Sounds like it works though if you have <5 entries. Is it possible for an update to fix this for the Pebble 2?

This provides you extended control with your Pebble and your phone with Tasker (NOTE TO ALL: TASKER IS A SEPARATE APP). The possiblities are almost endless!

Please update this app. On Pebble 2 only 5 tasks are shown when long pressing the middle button. Checking tasks for more than 5 will result to middle button not showing the tasks.

I use this app to get quick access from my wrist to select my podcaster or music app, use "ok google" to send texts or setup reminders or whatever, hang up phone, lock phone so screen isn't on in my pocket, etc. Very handy. Only downside is it stops working whenever the app wants me to give a rating (hence this review ; ) ). This is one of my two chosen apps to use as quicklaunch.

Test it with your phone in your pocket or in the next room. It will not work. It's no different than without the watch, you must hold the cellphone up to your mouth and talk into the phone because the microphone on the pebble watch is not listening to you for anything except vocal SMS replies.

Now im on Pebble time this app has clearly come into its own. I still seem to intermittently lose connection. Power saving still affects continued functionality, but it's now at a level which I can tolerate.

Customize your actions on Tasker app. And activate them from Pebble. You should get this app if you have a Pebble. Only one issue: phone gets hot and drains the phone battery really quickly (from 20 hr sleep time to 10 hr sleep time). It'd be good if developers can look into this issue? Edit: app is working so far so good after a factory reset on Pebble.. Will update again if any battery drain on phone experienced

I am using this with Tasker on a Note 4 and a Time Steel. My Note forgets to play music when my car pairs to it, so via this app, I start music and push play with a task. Works flawlessly!

This app combines Tasker and Pebble in the most straightforward way possible. Two must have quick actions that work great with a remote trigger from my wrist: toggle the camera LED to make bedtime a snap and trigger notification beeps to find my phone. (If you cannot wake your device by another method with Tasker, try a pop-up!)

I have emailed customer support several times, with no replies. The app works for a few minutes, then Android unloads the app from memory, and you have to manually relainch it.

I like your app. Sometimes when I load it, it asks me if the android app is installed but other than that it is great. I got Google Now working with just a hit of a button. Awesome.

This little launcher is very useful combined with Tasker. With some practice, you can automatize a lot of stuff with a click on your Pebble.

Would be five stars if it didn't randomly lose connection sometimes, and didn't require a companion app.

Does this app actually do anything? If so... what? What exactly does it do?? Not much at all in reality.
