Tasker Network Event Server

TNES is a plugin that enables Tasker to trigger events when receiving messages over network. There are two ways to send messages to the plugin :1) Sending an HTTP GET or POST to it : There is an HTTP server that can handle GET and POST requests on ressource "/" on port 8765. Variables of the POST can be filtered and transmited to Tasker as explains below.2) Over then remote server http://thacthab.herokuapp.com : Go to this adress and register a free account. Then configure the plugin with both the login and the password you used for that account. You can send message via the website or by sending a GET or POST request to http://thacthab.herokuapp.com/broadcast . The GET or POST request MUST contains following variables :
- login : the login you used for the account
- pass : the password you used for your acount
- title : a title, actually just some text describing the message
- message : a message, can be simple text or a serialized JSON.In this case, the plugin will consider following variables :
- senderName : its value will be equal to the login used to send the request.
- title : the title of the message
- message : the message.
- if message can be parsed as a JSON, then every attribute of it will be processed as variables.
The plugin will trigger the event if the variables contains in the message are not filtered. If at least one filter is evaluated as false, then the event is not triggered. Filters can be expressed when configuring an instance like this (one filter per line) :variablevariable == valuevariable != value

The filter "variable" means that variable should be present in the message, whatever its value.The filter "variable == value" means that variable should be present in the message and that its value must be equal to "value".The filter "variable == value" means that variable should be present in the message and that its value must be different from "value".

Every variable transmited via the network call will be translated into Tasker variable if the event is fired. The variable are named like this: %tpe_VARNAME, where VARNAME is the name of the variable in the network call, VARNAME is ALWAYS lower case so that the variable is local to the rule from the Tasker point of view.

Not what I needed. Requires a 3rd party service, probably so the app can just loop endlessly checking that 3rd party sever to see if a trigger was left yet. I can already do that in Tasker.

Once I figured out how it works and how to use it with Tasker, I decided to make this app a part of my Tasker arsenal of apps that I use on daily basis. This app would be even better if I could self host the broadcast broker server on my own Apache server. Or at lease, documentation on how to implement my own.

Great, but what a pity it's not running on my old phone which is Android 4. Hope you could do something.

Opening it leads me to Play store with some other app.

Useful and awesome.

Great app for Tasker. Would be better to have an option for us to enter our URL to relay the Post and Get. Worry if your relay server may shut down for whatever reason. Maybe make a paid version with the server side script provided would be perfect. Thanks.

Thank you for making this! Exactly what I needed. Allowed me to use an Amazon dash button to turn my TV on or off via my old smartphone with an IR blaster. The remote's power button stopped working so this is super convenient!

Just what I've looking for - a simple web server plugin for Tasker that is easy to configure and works over a local network. Thank you.

Allowed me to put together a simple LAN based HTTP control interface to my tablet media center. Remotely start/stop/change radio streams. Awesome.

Looks a useful glue component that I was missing. Would go with 5 stars if ssl was used

It take me to install a paid app

Works great with IFTTT and Webhook maker!

Didn't try the remote stuff but over a local network it's nice and fast.

Last piece of my puzzle using the Nexus 7 as a sonos controller. Via this plugin a shell script running on my server can turn the Nexus 7 screen on and off according to whether music is playing. Perfect - thank you!
