fsintents with tasker- How to?

Has anyone set up fsintents to work via tasker? Is there a walk thru somewhere?

I have to admit, setting up tasker profiles seems to stump me.
 
You'd need to make API calls in order to make that happen I would think. I don't know if you can do that with an automated script or not. If you can, you can call scripts from Tasker.

Should you have to create a new profile for every location?...

Is not possible add many tasks to one profile? or there is a simple way to make it?.

Thank you. Regards.

Hi!

If I'm understanding correctly, you want to check-in at various places with the same Tasker profile, right?
If so, just call FsIntents several times in the task: once for each venue you want to check-in to.

Hope this helps.
 
I followed your Tasker instructions. Allow Duplicate Checkins is unchecked and Checkin Cooldown is set at 300 - this is my work location. I'm using cell near. I still get overwhelmed with notifications of "Check-in not successful... You would be checked in at the same place twice in a row." This sometimes happens 10 or 20 times a minute and sometimes not at all. Any fixes?

This user contacted me directly and we resolved this issue. Just in case anyone is having the same issue:

"I think I know why this is happening.

Tasker will check you in whenever you are near some specific cells you scanned. What happens is, your cell phone is probably connecting to different cells all the time (happens a lot if you are in an urban area, for example). So, every time you get connected to a cell you didn't scan, and then you connect back to a cell you DID scan, Tasker will attempt to check you in.

Let me put it this way:
- At work your are near cells 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
- When you scanned nearby cells, you scanned cell 1, 3 and 5
- When you arrive at work and get connected to cell 1 and Tasker will check you in
- Minutes (or seconds) later, you get connected to cell 2, your Tasker profile where you use FsIntents will now be inactive
- Some time later you get connected to cell 3, and Tasker will once again try to check you in
This goes on and on, because your phone keeps switching cells.

The way I would get around this is, whenever you see you are getting checked in multiple times, go into the Cell Near condition in Tasker and scan for a while, and see if you can get more cells in your scan. If, in my example, you had scanned all 5 cells, you would only be checked in once by Tasker.

Alternatively, you can add a Wifi near, or Wifi connected conditions in tasker, if you have Wifi at work."
