Cannot recieve serial messages

[juanlozanodbz]

Hi! I can send messages from Tasker to the Arduino but not the other way around. I tried using %serial_data() to do it but I have not managed to achieve it. Could you give a bit more detail on how to do it? I'd be very grateful.

The problems could be from your device that sends the Bluetooth data. Are you sure that this is working properly ? Did you try to receive the Bluetooth data using another software, for instance, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kai_morich.serial_usb_terminal ?

When adding an action, there is no choice for receive. Only connect, disconnect and send.

@motomech the receive functionality is under "Events" -> "Plugin" -> "Bluetooth Serial for Tasker"

It took me a while to find it!

@juanlozanodbz You'll need to use %serial_data(<) to grab the most recent transmission from the serial data array. That part also threw me for a loop.

Hey can you give me a tutorial on how to recieve data sent by arduino through bluetooth on this plugin im not able to configure the process even if im able to flash the message on my phone it would be enough.this has something to do with my engineering project so please i need help...

I can sent and receiver data from M5Stack on Android Serial bluetooth terminal.
But on the plugin I cannot receive.
Pls. can you make a tutorial or short instruction how to set up the proper receive profile in tasker.
Or even better add a tasker action to the the GitHub repository to import.
Thank you

one step ahead: It is important first to send a connect before data can be received!

After a while I stop receiving serial messages. I have to execute another BT Serial Connect. Any ideas? The device is an Anysecu PTT mic which is Bluetooth 4.2 so perhaps it has to something do with BLE.

@brucevdkooij I think I've ended up here trying to do exactly the same thing as you; interpret the serial messages from Anysecu PTT (or inrico b01 as mine is called) and map it's serial messages to software buttons in android. Did you have any success that you can share with me? Thanks

@Bfreak Been a while since I've played around with this but I recall switching to Automate and writing one flow with a loop to reconnect and another flow to monitor button presses (PTT & SOS) Regretfully, lost the automation when my phone died. Not using the mic key at the moment.
