Create a profile to disable other profiles

Question

I have a couple of profiles defined in Tasker that I would only like to enable while traveling abroad. As Tasker cannot recognize the state "traveling abroad", I would like to set this state manually which should then disable all the profiles related to this meta profile "traveling abroad".



I envision this in Tasker:




  • Category: Traveling abroad (switch off/on)




    • Profile 1 (switch off/on)

    • Profile 2 (switch off/on)

    • Profile 3 (switch off/on)

    • ...

Answer

Disabling a profile constitutes as an action so you need to do something in a task only. Tasker supports toggling the status of profiles from a task.



Create a new task and use this action: Tasker → Profile Status




  • Name: name of the profile to be toggled

  • Set: On/Off/Toggle



When would you or how would you like to run this task is upon you to decide. You can setup a location profile, a time trigger or perhaps, bind the task into a widget (1x1) to toggle all those profiles from a single touch on a shortcut.
