Help Control 'OK Google' with Tasker?

Hi @stuarta,
I moved your question out into its own thread so that maybe it can get some attention - the What Tasker profiles is everyone using?? (This thread is NOT for requesting help with profiles) thread isn't a good place to seek support.
Hopefully someone will be able to help you out this way - I'm afraid I haven't dug too deep into Tasker lately.

Are you root-ed? What device?
If root-ed you can probably do it with the shell action to deliver the dialog clicks that you want to inmate it. There is a voice plug-in that could be used to start the process.
If you are using a Droid Maxx, Maxx 2, Turbo, or Turbo 2 the Motorola alternative does what you want already.

N6 and not rooted
I think you are out of luck. The capability to simulate a button push by passing it a screen coordinate requires root-ing. I am not root-ed and verified that it fails on an un-root-ed device.
(BTW Touchless Control is the feature on the Turbo that IMNHO sets it apart from the competition.)

Unfortunately one of the primary security features of Android prevents one app from directly influencing another ("sandboxing"). Tasker won't be able to change any configurations within the Google Search app unless there is a specific API to allow it. The workaround @Thom mentioned would essentially simulate the same touch events that your finger would trigger by launching the app, going into settings, and toggling the setting.
Without root, about the only other workaround I can think of would be using something like the AutoVoice plugin to essentially chainload Voice Search. You could then have "Always On" disabled and just use Tasker/AutoVoice to forward queries the Google app while Bluetooth is connected.
