How to user Tasker to control NiLS preferences

Since version 1.7.577 (beta) NiLS provides a service intent that allows Tasker app to control its preferences.
This allows power users, for example, to set NiLS to not turn on the screen during night hours, or to switch to private mode while at work.

How to use it?

  1. On Tasker app, go to Tasks and click the "+" button.
  2. Give a name to this task, for example - "Disable NiLS screen waking"
  3. Click the "+" button to add new task.
  4. Choose "System" and then "Send intent"
  5. Fill in the following fields:
    - Action: com.roymam.android.nils.SET_PARAM
    - Extra: the option that you want to set and its value, for example: turnscreenon:never
    - Package: com.roymam.android.notificationswidget
    - Class: com.roymam.android.notificationswidget.SettingsProvider (case matters)
    - Target: Service
  6. Click the back button, you'll see the new created task. now you can use it like any other task to be launched on several conditions.
