ADB Shell [Tasker Plugin] 6.3b

This Tasker plugin facilitates sending ADB Shell commands to a remote device, as long as ADB over WiFi is enabled on the target device. Tasker is required for the plugin to operate, and it should be noted that Tasker is a paid application with a 7-day free trial period.

When integrated into Tasker, this plugin enables users to perform a variety of actions on the target device equivalent to those possible through the terminal or ADB Shell. This encompasses tasks such as launching apps, transferring files, and emulating input commands.

Several noteworthy points to consider include:

• You can send multiple commands simultaneously by separating them with a semi-colon.
• All commands within a single action are automatically terminated with an "exit" command to close the ADB connection.
• For successive actions within a Tasker task, maintain the default timeout setting for optimal performance.
• To establish a secure connection, it is imperative to always "trust this computer" when prompted to do so.
• The console output can be accessed and reused within Tasker via %output1, %output2, etc., or by iterating over %output() using a for loop.
• The plugin generates two key files on the user's device to ensure a secure ADB connection to other devices.

Some practical commands you can utilize include:

• Sending "input keyevent POWER" to turn on or off an ADB over WiFi enabled Android TV (e.g., Nvidia SHIELD).
• Executing key press events such as "input keyevent DPAD_RIGHT" or "DPAD_LEFT".
• Using "reboot" to reboot the device or "reboot -p" to power it down.
• Launching apps using commands like "am start -n com.android.chrome/com.google.android.apps.chrome.Main".
• Executing commands on the local device by entering "localhost" in the IP address field.
