Tasker tutorial 1



Do you know, you can control your smartphone with the help of Tasker (android app) and another CELL Phone (Not necessarily be a smartphone, it can be a cheap black and white cell phone; it will work until and unless it can send SMS)?
What we would do is make our Smartphone intelligent enough to follow our orders. If we Ask it (send sms to it) to turn on GPS, it would follow our order and turn on its GPS, even it is anywhere around the world, until and unless it can receive SMS). Let me give you an example, "When we would send our smartphone an SMS on its number, which says 'Turn gps on' it would immediately turn on its gps. But, first we need to configure it so it becomes genius enough to interpret our sent SMS and follow our direction. This way we could set it up to do almost anything we want like, turning on Wi-Fi, opening brower or a specific webpage, take a photo, record a video, send that picture or video to us (on a certain email or through MMS) - That would be cool right. Or make it shutdown, lock, or turn on the music player; there are endless possibilities. But, you have to configure each of it separately, for example we would first set it to take a picture when we send an SMS saying "take photo", and then we would configure it to email us the photo when we would send it an SMS saying "email photo". Isn't it cool..!!!
Therefore, I would soon show you how to set it up like this. And, after sometime you guys could come up with your on ideas, when you know how to use it. If you want me to set something for you, just comment below, and I would write the profile (setting) for you within 2 days...!!

You can also do really cool stuff with tasker plugins, we would talk about tasker plugins in future tutorials.

Thank You.
