[Q] Disable Touchless Controls using Tasker

[natezire71]

Is there anyway I can change the setting to enable/disable Touchless Controls with Tasker? It would be useful to turn off Touchless Controls at bedtime or when I know I wouldn't be using them to begin with. No clue how to approach this.

What.....

I said I want to disable Touchless Controls at night. I'm not using it at night. I'm asleep. No sense in having it on and running if I'm not using it.

i understood, the only way is going to the settings it, and disable the first option

You can do this with Secure Settings.

I forget what the action is called within Secure Settings, but it just does the Android 'disable' for you

Titanium backup can give you a widget to freeze it with a click.

But yeah....4 clicks can toggle it off in settings.

I know that, lol. But Tasker is obviously a smarter choice.

But when you disable it, won't you have to re-enable it manually?

That takes care of disabling it... however, when you re-enable it, you still have to go to Settings to "Enable" it again. :|

Secure settings -> root actions -> package state. When you use "disable" do NOT use "user disable."

As long as touchless controls was on before you use secure settings to disable it, it will be on still when you use secure settings to re-enable it

You've gotten that to work? I tried it with both and neither one worked

Has anyone got any other ideas? It's been a while, maybe there is something newer?

 

[csytracy]

did you figure out how to do that? I am also interested.

Why would you disable it while you sleep? It hardly drains the battery as is. Are you saying OK Google Now in your sleep?
