After doing the notification counter in Zooper with Tasker it got me thinking about other possibilities. I created a table with all built in Tasker Variables and an easy way to use them in Zooper.
You can search the Tasker Variable table for interesting Variables. Beneth the table is a pictured guide on how to use them.

How to use Tasker Variables in Zooper
Let's say you want to display the content of one of this Variables. To do so you need to create a Profile by pressing "+" in the Profiles screen. Then pick "Event".
Now select "Variables" and "Variable Set".
Now you can either manually input your Variable or choose it from a menu by pressing the sign next to the field. I chose "%CELLSIG" which is the Cell Signal Strength. It's just an example. Confirm by pressing the back button.
Now you have to assign a Task. Create a new Task and press "+".
Pick "Plugin" and "Zooper".
Press "Edit". “ZW Variable” names your variable in Zooper, “ZW Text” is your Tasker variable (actually its value). Press “Save”.
Tasker shows me that I will have to use #TCS# in Zooper. You can name your Variable in Zopper anyway you like.
The Tasker Configuration is finished.
Explanation: This type of Profile will always be triggered when a variable change (Variable Set) happens. This change is transfered to Zooper.
In Zooper simply add a text item and choose “Edit text manually”. Put in your Zooper Variable name, mine is “#TCS#” and confirm.

Hi alex, i would like to ask if it would be possible to make a bluetooth on/of toggle widget using zooper and tasker that changes icon if bluetooth is on or off? If so, how can this be done, would like to make my own toggles from scratch. Thanks
I’m working in something like this. Will post soon!
Here you go:

The Icon change will be added later.
Hi. thank you for your tutorial. can you please help me do the battery status? i want to integrate it with UCCW. tahnk you
UCCW can show Battery statuts itself, I think!
Thank you alex, i have studied the bluetooth toggle file you posted and i have learned to make toggles with my wifi, bluetooth, screen orientation and wifi hotspot also ican make the icon change by making icon set for zooper.
Is possible to add a field notifications “push” information to the stock exchange, or a specific channel of social networks?
Hello Alexander!
I wonder if it’s possible to create a variable in tasker to tell zooper the state of mobile data, like %WIFI does for wifi? I know there already is a variable for that in Zooper, but it’s so slow and that’s why I would like to create a variable in Tasker instead. If that’s possible, how do I do it? I have tried a lot of times but I can’t figure it out…
Thanks
Hello,
what do you mean by slow? What phone do you use?
To my knowledge Tasker has no Mobile Data monitoring Variable.
Thanks
Thank’s for quick response! 🙂
I’m using a bitmap + variable ( # NCSTATE # ) in Zooper that indicates when mobile data is on/off, but I have to turn off and on the screen every time so the bitmap will become visible/invisible. I don’t have to do that with the variables for BT, GPS and Wifi that are created in Tasker to use in Zooper.
I have a Xperia Compact, but it’s exactly the same procedure with my other devices (turn screen off/on to make the bitmap visible/inviible).
Well, I can live with that. 🙂 But when I discovered how fast and smooth (but also complicated) Tasker is, I wished to create a Tasker variable (like # NCSTATE #) to use in Zooper.
Thanks
thanks for the tutorials. I’ve had tasker for a couple of years, and just now created my first task (Wapp/zooper notification). Would it be possible to set up a task that creates and auditory or text alert when my phone re-engages with my home wifi network?
thanks again for a very precise and easy to follow instructions.
Do you know if it’s possible to identify when Tasker is no running? My objective is to put a text “Tasker is Running/Not Running” or something like that.

Hi Jagwar, thanks for that – great info. I am just wondering how to implement the other way round. Reading ZOOPER variables content by TASKER…
Hello Martin,
this is not possible.
Thanks
That’s bad news, indeed…
