I ordered some. Anyone use Tasker? I am trying to figure out how to set up some tasker tasks. I would like to have a NFC run a task to open maps, nav to home, SMS the wife that I am "on my way" with ETA from maps. Then open pandora.
I have a 200 mile a day commute. When I leave work I send my wife a On My Way SMS with my Eta, Start Nav to home, (traffic view), start pandora. I would love to be able to tap a tag when getting in the car and be done.
Any Tasker experts out there?
Not an expert, but here's my $0.02. You can probably accomplish mostly everything you noted above, except I don't think there's a way to do the ETA in the SMS. I believe you can send a pre-programmed SMS from either NFC Task Launcher or Tasker, but I don't know of a way to have it include your ETA from Navigation. You may be able to have it pre-type the SMS, then you'll just need to add the ETA once Navigation is booted up and data is pulled down.
Keep in mind that although you can link Tasker tasks in NFC Task Launcher, certain tasks such as killing apps, disabling keyguard cannot work with external apps. There's a short dialog box that pops up when you try and link a tasker task from NFC.
Also keep in mind your NFC tag "memory" size and the size of the tag you're programming. Certain tags have higher capacity than others, and thus can hold "bigger" tags with more tasks. I didn't buy 1K tags, and I've already run into one situation trying to program a switch tag where it exceeded the tag's memory size.
