Recently there is the possibility via the Taskernet sharing all of your own projects with others is possible via your Google account. To import the required Tasker project, click here -Link can be also found at the end of the instructions on Page2
After you have clicked on the link, you will be forwarded to the Taskernet, if you open the link for the first time you will be asked for your Google account.

Click on VARS at the top right to see the variables that Tasker processes within the project. On the right are the values of the variables, in the best case you can see your xDrip values there, here you can see how it looks if everything was well done.
In the worst case, you won't see anything here and a notification from AutoTools will be displayed. AutoTools Parsing error. This means AutoTools is not able to receive the values from xDrip, this is mostly because the local broadcast was not activated or something went wrong. In that case, go back to the beginning and check whether everything has been followed correctly.
Activate AndroidAPS Statusline in xDrip
To activate the status bar, the xDrip status line (clock) must be activated in AndroidAPS in the configuration menu. This is also necessary to display the basal rate and the Wear integration in AndroidAPS must be activated even if no Wear OS smartwatch is used.
Set the target area
From version 1.04 it is possible to determine the target area yourself, this changes the target area of the glucose graph and also the coloring of the glucose value. Normally 80-150 are set here to change this you do the following:
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING: The values you enter here MUST be in the mg/dl format. Even if you use mmol/l, you still enter the values here in mg/dl. Watchmaker does the whole conversion if you use mmol/l to display everything correctly.
Open Tasker and check if you are in the right project. At the bottom there is a bar on which you can select your Tasker projects, the small colored bar above shows which is currently selected. The white house on the far left is your basic project. The red drop of blood is the xDrip+ Watchmaker Tasker project which you now select if you haven't already done so. Then press TASKS at the top.
Here are 3 tasks you click on the following: xDrip + _GRAPH_VARS
Here are all the variables Watchmaker needs for the graph. The Variables 2. upperBG and 3. lowerBG set the values for your target area.

Then press the back arrow in the top right corner to exit the task. In order to finally save the changes, it appears every time you leave a task
the marked confirmation checkmark in the top right. Its important to apply it after you done changes.
Never leave Tasker with the home button on the navigation bar, but always with the back button in the navigation bar. Otherwise, your changes may not be accepted. The easiest way is to press the back button until you are back on the home screen, so you play it safe.
