Change tasker variable when item is updated

Welcome to the community!

The Tasker integration with the openHAB Android app only enables us to send commands to items from Tasker. To go in the other direction, I send notifications to the openHAB Android app and have Tasker act on them.

  1. Create a rule that triggers on item changes, with the sendNotification as an action.
  2. Create a profile in Tasker that monitors the openHAB app and triggers a task to update your variable (or do whatever).

I also use the Notification Listener add-on to delete notifications. Tasker doesn’t have that capability built in.
