Hello,
As you know wear aware allows you to find your phone when the watch is still connected to the phone. However this is useless in the event that it is disconnected or someone tries to steal your phone. That's where tasker comes into play.
Currently I have tasker set up that should my watch go out of range of my phone (disconnected bluetooth), my note 4 will lock the phone, put the ringer volume to max, and play a very aggressive ringer for about 25-30 seconds (Splinter cell alarm). This is so that even at the distance it takes for bluetooth to be disconnect, i can immediately hear/ track down my phone.
My dilemma is that i am not very experienced with development or even tasker for that matter, and i dont know how to go about creating an appropriate "trigger" to turn off the ringer once i have the phone back in my hands. Otherwise the ringer would play for the full 25-30 seconds. Would anyone be able to help me with this? Or even turn it into an app with the Tasker app maker?
Also since volume up and down options are also overridden by the active tasker task to play at max volume, it would also be cool if powering off the device be disabled during this period as well. Makes it harder for those thieves to steal our phones! ;)
Thank you,
This is what i have so far:
- Profile: Not BT connected Moto 360
- Tasks: Play ringtone Splinter Cell Alarm, Ringer Volume level 15, System lock
Ps. I apologize for any lack of formality or necessary information as this is my very first post!
