Tasker and PIN lock

[lotus49]

I have my phone set up to require a PIN after the screen locks. I don't need it to do this when I am at home though so I would like to use Tasker to disable this when I am at home connected to my wifi.

I can create a profile tbat detects the required state but I cannot disable the PIN lock. I used the Keyguard Off action but it doesn't seem to work. My phone activates the profile but I still have to enter the PIN.

Has anyone else managed to do this on an S4? Is Keyguard Off not the correct action?

There's a dedicated Tasker forum here Tasker - Android Forums where people are more likely to give you much more relevant advice, i've reported your post just to try to get it moved over for ya.

Thread moved to the Tasker forum. Good luck!

Although that wasn't exactly what I was after, it did give me the information I needed to create a profile that did what I needed so thank you very much for your help, I appreciate it.

For some reason using Keyguard doesn't seem to work but using the Secure Settings plugin and PIN disable/enable did the trick.

NP. I saw your thread in the S4 section and said "Hey, I like that idea!"

Just a matter of finding the information that worked.

Having messed about with this for ages (one x), i noticed that keyguard disable isn't in the administrative rights section of secure settings, whereas pin/password disable is, which is why it works.
