Run a Tasker task via ADB

Question

I'm looking for a way to run a Tasker task named test via ADB command. I found this thread Running a tasker task via SSHDroid (or adb shell) and tried but did not succeed. All I got was

adb shell am broadcast -a net.dinglisch.android.tasker.ACTION_TASK -es task_name test
Broadcasting: Intent { act=net.dinglisch.android.tasker.ACTION_TASK pkg=test (has extras) }
Broadcast completed: result=0

So how can I run a Tasker task via ADB command?

Answer 1

I use MQTT to handle firing tasks from the command line. This doesn't require root, or to be connected by USB for ADB.

Place this batch file in your path:

cat post.cmd
@echo off
set _tail=%*
call set _tail=%%_tail:*%1 =%%
mosquitto_pub -h %ip% -p %port% -i "My_pc" -t '%1' -m '%_tail%'
echo Topic: %1
echo Msg: %_tail%

Then make a profile using the "Mqtt client" app, listening to S10/# (my phone is an S10, set any topic name you'd prefer)

Profile: S10/# (431)
Cooldown: 1
Restore: no
Event: Message Arrived [ Configuration:Main - (Your mqtt broker IP here) : # : msg : topic : : ] 

Have it target this task. (I couldn't share mine without giving you my MQtt IP address)

Now from the command line,

post s10 taskname1=:=par1 etc
topic : s10
msg: taskname1=:=par1 etc
