Common Issues and Fixes

To be honest, Watchmaker has few to no actual issues. At least, none that can't be mitigated, worked around or fixed! However, when it comes to integrating Tasker, you may hit one or two rare issues I've seen happen to others!

Common Tasker Issue

Many users have found that if they install Tasker after Watchmaker has been used for some time, the Tasker integration may not work as expected!

First check Tasker preferences and ensure Remote Access is enabled. This allows 3rd party apps to communicate with Tasker.

Failing above, uninstall Watchmaker and reinstall.

This last action is almost always the fix. It appears because Watchmaker doesn't register with Tasker for Events/State contexts, Taske doesn't acknowledge it until the app is installed again.
