I'm trying to utilize Tasker to do the following: when any paired Bluetooth comes within range of the Android tablet running Tasker, then Tasker starts a task. The tablet is always on, with the screen always lit.
I don't want to have to manually do anything. A paired phone in my pocket, for instance, should be detected by the tablet as I approach it and the task should be triggered. Yet it's not happening!
Am I misunderstanding how this utility is supposed to work? Or are there settings (& perhaps other plugins) that will make this work as desired?
Btw, the task is to have Smartthings automatically turn on the porch light. It works if I turn bluetooth off on my phone, and then turn it back on a couple minutes later. And I can trigger that in Tasker via Bluetoith AutoConnect by turning on the display, and it catches the light from outside occasionally. I wa hoping for better....
