Tasker: Using OR logic in contexts

Question

Let's say I want to create a context where the SSID of a wifi connection is either 'ABC' or 'XYZ'. I can see where I am able to create 2 contexts, but it seems to enforce and logic between the two, so in order words I must be in proximity to both 'ABC' and 'XYZ'. I want the context to be either, not both.

Answer 1

Specify SSID in the WiFi Connected context to be ABC/XYZ This will activate the context if you connect to ABC or XYZ,

Answer 2

Or probably you can use "Inverted" conditions to do an opposite task?, e.g.

If you want to run a task when WiFi is connected OR when the profile:A is inactive, you can instead setup contexts for "WiFi is disconnected" AND "Profile: A is active" both with "inverted" checkbox selected, and setup a task that does the opposite, if that is possible.

This basically works because of:

(A OR B) = NOT((NOT A) AND (NOT B))

Answer 3

You will need to make a single profile for each context and pair it to the action individually.

Answer 4

You could make your action depend on a variable "%condition=true" and then make two different profiles:

• profile a: set condition to "true"
• profile b: set condition to "true"

your profile: if variable "condition"=true then ... and there goes your exit task

But would be nice if the authors would enhance tasker for that... :)
