What have YOU done with Tasker?

[VoiceGuy]

I haven't been happy with any of the "Bible Verse of the Day" apps and widgets in the market. I'd like to be able to create my own using Tasker, Minimalistic Text, and the verse of the day from Biblegateway.com I tried modifying a few of the profiles listed in this thread but with no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have followed the steps here: Low Battery Usage Wifi Enableing Profile Using Wifi Near - Tasker Wiki to turn wifi on/off.
But why all this hassle?

Why don't create one profile "Home", which is active when "Cell near" and turn wifi on/off?

use received text any profile

in the task use variable randomize with %RINGSOUND min 1 max 4
(MEDIA) Play Ringtone if %RINGSOUND matches 1,2,3 or 4 for each ring tone

under variable tab set %RINGSOUND to 1

Create Variable %StolenFilename as Stolen
Create Variable %Shots as 1
Create a task
(Task) For %Shots items 10
(Variable) Variable Join %StolenFilename %Shots
(media) Photo - under filename put %StolenFilename
(Phone) Compose MMS (number is whoever you want to get pictures) Attachments %StolenFilename
(task) wait 1 second
(Task) end for

sends 10 mms pictures (change the number of items for more or less)

I'm looking to tackle Tasker and wanted to start small. As a simple test I wanted to ramp up an example to learn from in these stages:

1. Have the phone speak a phrase at a specific time.

2. Have the phone speak welcome messages upon my arriving home.

3. Have the phone speak those messages with variable phrasing based on the time of day/night.

Already I've hit a confusing point. I set up one to just say "Time to party!" a few minutes from the time I created it. The time came and went. No sound. I then turned on the phone to see what was wrong and immediately I heard, "Time to party!". What do I need to do to have the phone speak regardless of the phone being

the delay is probably down the the settings for display off monitoring - Tasker takes longer to check when the screen is off

1. use profile time
2. use state, net, wifi connected to home SSID or location
3. use profile time to set variable and IF condition on (misc) say

Great app. This may be here already. I read about the first 30 pages, then decidedI'd just ask. Looking for a simple Profile. I'd like to have extended or no screen timeout during telenav while plugged in. I can do the extended screen timeout, but I haven't worked out the when plugged in part. That way should I forget to exit telenav when I leave the car, the screen would then timeout. Thanks for your help.
