Recently I started using Tasker automation on my secondary device Redmi 12 5G.

Mainly I use it to unlock my mobile, Get a cricket score Update on Telegram, launch a YouTube music player and play a song automatically, and many more automation tasks.

there are many ways to trigger tasker tasks but I want to utilize my smartwatch, Alexa, and Google voice assistant device for automation
check my YouTube shorts I uploaded the video related to Tasker automations.

In this blog post, we are going to see how I use the Alexa Echo device to trigger my tasker tasks.

Requirements

  • Next in response add some random reply message for the assistant
  • Save and link this event to the Lock screen wakeup tasker task
  • That's all our tasker creation part is over

How it works?

  • Open Alexa app
  • Goto skills and search Autovoice skill
  • install it and link your Amazon account
  • Done now it's ready to trigger the tasker task

Now use this command in Alexa to trigger the tasker task "Hey Alexa ask Autovoice to unlock" Alexa confirms this voice command with the random reply message we gave while creating the event.
Next, it triggers the tasker task it wakes up my lock screen with a voice message.
