Prompt a dialog box to take action

@rey_rios you can definitely do this with Tasker + SharpTools. I guess it depends a bit on what you want to use as your trigger for leaving the home though… were you thinking about using one of the presence devices from SmartThings or triggering based on something else (GeoFence, WiFi, etc)?

Let’s say you are using AutoLocation with a geo-fence around your home, you would setup the Tasker profile based on your device leaving the geofence, then in your task you could use the action Alert > Notify and configure the “Action” buttons with up to three different options using SharpTools to control your things.

Using your example of prompting to set the thermostat of turn off the lights, here’s a screenshot doing this as one notification with two action buttons:

From Tasker:

  1. Profile: New ‘+’ > Event > Plugin > Autolocation > Geofences: Home, Outside
  2. Action: Alert > Notify
  • Title: Left Home
  • Text: Adjust your thermostat/lights?
  • Actions: Create two actions, set their names, and choose your icons
  1. For each action you create in Notify, you would use Plugins > SharpTools > A Thing
