AutoRemote
With AutoRemote you have full control of your phone, from wherever you are by sending push notifications to your phone and reacting to them in Tasker or AutoRemote standalone apps!
Please don't leave negative feedback without contacting me first. I'll always do my best to help you, and I can't do that if I can't contact you.
AutoRemote is an amazingly flexible remote control system, them gives the user an unprecedented level of control. So, for example, you could control your PC or Chrome Browser from your Android device, control your Android device from hundreds of web services (like Facebook or Twitter for example), or even your Linux PC from anywhere. The possibilities are endless and you decide what and how things work remotely!
Check out everything you can do with AutoRemote here: http://joaoapps.com/autoremote/what-it-is/
Make sure you click the AutoRemote menu button at the top for a full list of possibilities.
Here's a must see video for anyone starting out with AutoRemote: http://goo.gl/RYCTh
This is how it works:
- Send an AutoRemote message from a web browser, your desktop, EventGhost, Chrome, Zapier, or any place where you can call an URL
- Setup an AutoRemote profile in Tasker to react to the message
- Do whatever you like with that message!

With device-to-device or PC-to-device messaging, you can control one of your devices from another device or even from your PC! And with a Tasker plugin to send messages via AutoRemote, you can have full bi-directional messaging!Imagine requesting your phone's location and have it displayed in a map on your tablet or PC.
You can also directly Share links or text to another device via the regular Share menu in Android! Imagine you are checking out a YouTube video on your phone, and directly open it on your bigger Tablet screen for better viewing!
With AutoRemote you have advanced matching options and a flexible command system (see how it works here: http://goo.gl/PRQas). It works just like with joaomgcd's AutoBarcode app!
See many use case examples here, including AutoRemote uses for saving lives and keeping in touch with your loved ones: http://goo.gl/3mFgz
Possible uses for AutoRemote(all these uses are fully customizable. You are free to use any other words or commands):
Can't remember where you put your phone? Create a lost-my-phone" command:You could send a "Where are you?" message to your phone, and have Tasker respond with a repetitive "I'm here! I'm here!".
Let your wife send you a spoken shopping list when you get off work:You can use AutoRemote with other Tasker conditions, such as the Date and Time conditions. Create a "shop=:=" command and combine it with a 5PM condition. Then, share your personal AutoRemote URL with your wife and have her send stuff she needs you to buy like "shop=:=carrots and ice cream". Then, at 5PM your phone could say that list out loud: "You need to go shopping! You need to buy carrots and ice cream"
Find my Phone:Send a "location" command and have your phone respond with its location via AutoRemote to another Android device, or simply SMS to any phone
And many many more! Your imagination is the limit!

If you like fiddling with and tweaking android, plus doing basically anything you can find a sensor or way to communicate for.... Tasker is your app. Autoremote is a welcome extension that enables you to easily communicate between devices. Joao is literally a god with Android dev. Dunno how they do it, but Tasker gets great support, has a huge featureset, and thus far I have yet to be disappointed in any of the plugins they've written. My minor critique: There's probably a bit better of a way to get device registration and such done - the QR code is kind of awk since some devices don't fully support that OOB, and... the link was kind of a pain to figure out how to copy. My suggestion would be enabling a few other options, like NFC or Bluetooth to do this. Anyway, great app, can't find much wrong with it.
I am having trouble getting the autoremote app to properly send messages consistently. I purchased the app but now instead of the goo.gl/ address it says I need the portion after autoapps.ja....etc that is seen in the lite version to register my device. I am not sure what changed that caused issues with my profiles in tasker that previously worked....
It's an very useful app and it works like butter, but I'm missing a feature that I like to see. I would like to have a option for automatically copying the message that you've received. Keep on going João Dias.
Loved this app for a LONG time. Now I can't push webpages from the Chrome extension unless I have the app open. I've tried disabling battery optimization and made sure the permissions were allowed. I really liked how this app worked.
A perfect compliment to Tasker's already comprehensive automation abilities, especially when combined with EventGhost. The developer is very responsive and friendly.
The newest version has a bug that looks to the wrong server, so other devices can't be connected. Since I want to send messages from one phone to the other like I used to, it's worthless now.
I'm unable to connect to my Google Drive account. I granted permission but it only gives an error every time I open the devices tab about a null volume.
Baught it because tasker is awesome and needed to send some notifications from my server. However, app price could be little bit lower
Another fantastic app to complement an already amazing Tasker. Great developer who constantly works to increase the possibilities of what can be done.
Amazing plugin. I use it to control my security-cam-phone. Works like a charm. Big fan of tasker and all the plugins.
Pretty much serves as the backbone of my (primary) phone remote control and device recovery solution, as paired with Tasker.
I decided to update autoremote. can no longer connect from homeseer. In fact, I do not get http:/goo.gl/xxxx link replaced by some other link incompatible with homeseer.
Arfiles(1) command is not showing anything when we send a file through eventghost or any other android through autoremote .earlier it worked fine but from some days its not working Plz give an update and fix this issue
Now this is where things get completely out of hand: send arbitrary messages between your devices, messages that can be displayed or trigger anything you can think of.
i thought this showed some promise. But trying to use it to work with Tasker and IFTTT it errors out. I've gotten zero hello from attempts in 3 different communities and zero hello from the author. i guess I'll have to fine another method.
Receiving Java error when trying to backup
Great app as always from this developer
.............y r u removing all the features ....like 1) we cant acess files in tasker using arfiles(1) ,. 2)earlier url were so short and easy to remember but i understand it used to be a google feature which has been removed by google. ...# it doesnt matter a lot 3)send messages and notification directly using the url I would never like to underrate your application because u r soo good and ur apps are awesome its the first time i have any issues with your app please fix this love from my side to Joao dias
Great app! Easily connecting Tasker to IFTTT, and tonight was easily able to send a screenshot from phone to PC for emailing out. Awesome.
Does not work for me anymore....i tried the lite version again and that one works...but it trims the messages to two characters because its the lite version....why is the paid version no longer wrking?
Liked it
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.
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...
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.
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!
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 :)
On Android 2.3.4 I get an invalid package file. It works on my newer Android phone though.
Very cool plug in. Its a bit like having a remote server to relay data between devices, while only having to make a one time payment. The only downside for me was latency with mobile networks. Not a good mix. It caused reliability issues and profiles were getting backed up. It would stop receiving, eventually bug out, then run old commands when corrected after a long retry process.
