Setup

Requirements

• Tasker installed on your Android device
• A running Home Assistant instance (local or remote)

Step 1 — Create a Long-Lived Access Token

1. In Home Assistant, go to your Profile (bottom-left avatar).
2. Scroll down to Long-Lived Access Tokens and click Create Token.
3. Give it a name (e.g. TaskerHA) and copy the token — you will not be able to see it again.

HA profile → Security tab → Long-Lived Access Tokens → Create token

Step 2 — Install the App

Source	Notes
GitHub Releases	Latest version, sideload APK
F-Droid	Open-source store, may lag behind

You cannot install both versions side by side — uninstall one before switching sources. Your tasks and profiles will survive, but you will need to re-enter your server settings.

Step 3 — Add Your First Instance

1. Open the TaskerHA app (not from inside Tasker).
2. Tap Add instance and give it a name (e.g. Home).
3. Enter your Home Assistant URL (e.g. http://192.168.1.xxx:8123 or https://ha.yourdomain.com).
4. Paste the access token you created.
5. Tap Test, then Save.

Add Instance — name, Remote URL, and Access Token

That's it — you're ready to add actions and profiles in Tasker. For more advanced instance configuration (multiple servers, automatic local/remote URL switching) see the Instances page.

Step 4 — Add Actions or Profiles in Tasker

All functionality is available under Plugin → TaskerHA in Tasker.

Feature	Type	Where to find
Call a HA service	Action	Task → Add → Plugin → TaskerHA → HA Call Service
Read an entity state	Action	Task → Add → Plugin → TaskerHA → HA Get State
Send message to HA	Action	Task → Add → Plugin → TaskerHA → HA Send Message Back
React to entity changes	Profile	New Profile → Plugin → TaskerHA → HA On Trigger State
Receive messages from HA	Profile	New Profile → Plugin → TaskerHA → HA Direct Message
