Using Tasker with Unified Remote

I'm trying to figure out a way to use the Unified Remote without eating up the battery. While you can keep the WiFi connection active in the background, it doesn't suspend stand-by the way, say, My Phone Explorer does (the display will dim as usual but not turn off). Can Tasker do this? I haven't found a way.

Ideally what I'd like is for the phone to go to black when face down but not turn off (I had a remote on my old iPhone that would do that). Is this possible? I tried setting up a profile using Orientation (down) and Display Brightness set to '0', but that only dimmed the screen.

 

No, I'm talking about the display turning off. I can keep the connection alive no problem; I'm just trying to avoid having to go through unlocking my phone all the time when the display times out.

 

Perfect, thanks.

Are you familiar with Tasker? There is a proximity sensor context (State > Sensor). Is it possible to use that in a profile in conjunction with UR to accomplish the same thing?

 

Well I've checked it out but it doesn't do exactly what I want. It turns off the display just fine, but when it comes back on I'm at my lock screen. That's what I'm trying to avoid.

 

No, but I figured it out. It was GO Locker. Once I disabled that it works... sorta. Still has some kinks hopefully that can be worked out.
