Tasker 5.10 rolls out in stable with Android 11 Controls support
Tasker developer joaomgcd showcased an experimental plugin earlier this year in August, which allowed the automation app to hijack Android 11’s new power menu to trigger any event. The plugin was rolled out to users with Tasker 5.9.4 beta late last month, and it allowed users to add Tasker tiles to the power menu as clickable buttons. Now, the feature is finally available on the stable channel with the latest update.
As you can see in the attached video, the new Power Menu Action feature in Tasker lets you create tiles for the power menu in Android 11. These tiles can be customized to trigger every available task on Android 11 with just a tap. But they’re not limited to single tasks. The tiles can also be dynamic in nature, allowing you to perform different tasks based on various factors like your location, time of day, etc.
Along with the Power Menu Actions, Tasker 5.10 brings a new Action Command which lets you trigger the Command event with the AutoApps Command System, an Event Command that you can trigger with the Command action, and the ability to allow third-party apps to send commands that trigger the Command event. Check out the changelog section below to see everything new in the latest Tasker update.

Changes:
