Tasker - Add a Profile to deactivate Motion Detection

How do you disable motion detection when you are at home?

Add a profile (motion detection disabled)

Now we just have to automate the just created action. Go to the profile tab and press the plus to add a new profile. Here we choose the state preset to use the WLAN connection status of the smart phone to trigger the action.

1. Go to the Profile tab and click the + to add a state profile.

2. Then select the Net Tile.

3. We would like to carry out the action as soon as the smart phone connects to the mobile network.

4. Connect the profile to a previously created task.

5. Now both profiles are active.

To make sure that the action is executed only when we are in our home Wi-Fi, we need to set a value that Tasker can use to detect it. In our case we will simply choose the name of the network (SSID). In our case, the profile will only perform the action if the smart phone connects to a Wi-Fi network called WTec. You can also assign a fixed IP address to your phone via the router, or use the MAC address of your wireless router as an indicator. Then go back to save the profile and add the previously created task to the profile.

6. Define here where Tasker should recognize your home network and assign the previously created task to the profile.

Your Android smartphone will now automatically activate the motion detection of your INSTAR HD IP camera as soon as arrive back home. If you leave your home and the smartphone loses the connection to the home WLAN, motion detection is automatically deactivated again. If you want to do the opposite and only activate motion detection when you are not at home, you only need to swap the two CGI commands in Task I and Task II.
