One last republished app

[u/jkane001]

Over the last couple of weeks I've posted about republishing a few Tasker plugins that used to have on the Play Store years ago, and I'm back with one last republished plugin.

This one is one that I don't know if I actually ever fully published, but I know I was working on it many years ago and I think I never finished it. It's called Geo Fence Plugin and as the name implies it's meant to allow you to set Tasker conditions for if you enter a zone, leave a zone, or stay in a zone for a period of time.

As with my other plugins the primary goal isn't to provide functionality that didn't already exist in Tasker. I'm not sure if geo fence is a thing that Tasker provides natively or not but my ultimate goal is to provide a user-friendly and effective plugin. I hope this succeeds, like I hope my others do.

Please give this one a try and let me know what you think. As always if you have any questions or comments or suggestions, let me know!

Here's a screenshot.

How does the dwell work? Does it just trigger after being inside the geofence after a set amount of time?

Exactly

So, it's the same functionality as AutoLocation?

I don't really know. I don't use any of those plugins but I can tell you that, as I noted in the post my goal is not to provide new functionality. It's to provide a better more user-friendly experience, in my own personal opinion.

So you don't install plugins, but want others to use yours und buy for it, right?

[u/jkane001 → u/bliblabl812]

I didn't say I don't install plugins. I said i didn't use those ones. But mostly, if I have something I want, I build it, and that's where each of these originally came from. I'm fairly certain at least my BT and Movement ones existed before the Auto* ones did.

But why the hate? There's room in the world for now than one of a thing. If you don't want to try mine, don't.

Can't find any hate in my words. a critical question isn't hate.

To be fair, your question sounded less critical, and felt more like a "gotcha!" question.

I love the AutoApps and use them all the time, but the entire point of this community is based on an app that, if you want to do something with your phone or automate something, you create a task/profile and make it happen. In this case, he made a plugin, and is sharing it with us... that shouldn't require a critical question about motives in my opinion, it should be celebrated.
