Screen Time-out Settings While Charging with Voice Prompt

Here's how to make a profile use the "Say" task to read aloud chosen text for the active Profile.

Using the previous "Screen Time-out While Charging" Example we will add in the extra steps of the "Say" command.

• After completing the above example, tap on the "Screen On" Task and choose "Edit"
• Click the "Add" button
• Choose "Misc" and then "Say" 
• In the "Text" box enter what you want to phone to speak. For this example type in "Now Charging"
• Next to "Engine:Voice" click the magnifying glass and choose "Picco TTS" next choose your language
• Click "Done"

you should now have a screen showing the "Display Timeout" Task and a "Say" Task like this, Click Done.

Now we need to do the same for the "Exit Task" so click on the "Screen Off" Task and choose "Edit" again.

Select "Add" and choose "Misc" and "Say" just like we did before. This time we want the text to notify us that the cable is unplugged and charging has stopped, so in the text box enter "Charging Stopped" and again scroll down to the "Engine:Voice" box and choose "Picco TTS" and your language. Click on "Done" and then "Done" again.

Now when you plug in the cable the Phone will keep the Display on and say "Now Charging" When you unplug the cable the screen timeout will return to normal and the phone will announce "Charging Stopped"

Screen Time-out Settings While Charging

This Tasker example will show you how to keep your screen on for longer while the phone is charging and return to default when the charger is removed.

• Open Tasker and click "New" and name the profile "Charging"
• Choose "State" and select "Power" for this example we'll make it work on both USB charging and AC power so  in the dropdown box select "Any"
• Select "New Task" and name it "Screen on" Click the "Add" button in the bottom left - choose "Display" and then "Display Timeout" go ahead and choose how long you want the screen to remain on for. I have mine set to 5 minutes. Click "Done" and then click "Done" again

Next we have to make an Exit Task, this is what tells the phone what to do when the charging cable is unplugged. You should have your two tasks showing - "Power" and "Screen On". Click on the Green arrow next to the "Screen on" task. You should now have the option to "Add Exit Task"

• Click "Add Exit Task" and choose "New Task" name it "Screen Off"
• Click the Add button in the bottom left and choose "Display" and "Display Timeout"
• Choose how long you want your screen to remain on when not charging - I have mine set to 30 seconds.
• Click "Done"
• Click "Done" again.

Now you should be able to plug in your USB cable and the phone will keep the screen on for the specified 5 minutes before locking the device.
