Tasks and profiles for Tasker
Of course, these all require Tasker.
Use the text file icenumbers.txt to store the phone numbers of your text ICE contacts, separated by a | like so:
15555551212|15556661313|15557771414
then tie either ICE task to an event, and it will send a message to all those contacts with your message and location. The message formats are as follows (where %LOC is replaced by your location and %BATT% replaced by your battery percentage):
Send_ICE_message.tsk.xml I need help. Please call, text, or check on me.
I am at http://maps.google.com/maps?z=12&t=m&q=loc%LOC
Battery at %BATT%
Silent_ICE_message.tsk.xml I need help. This is a SILENT alert. Call the authorities, not me.
I am at http://maps.google.com/maps?z=12&t=m&q=loc%LOC
Battery at %BATT%
Ever since Lollipop, I don't get presented with the "need to log in to wifi" prompt. So this profile and set of tasks will take care of that.
Files:
wifi_login.prf
The profile that is called upon connecting to any wifi network
net.checkip.tsk
Calls http://checkip.dyndns.org/ . If the response is anything that doesn't make sense, it sets the variable %IPaddy to 0.0.0.0 ; otherwise it will return %IPaddy with the valid address.
net.logon.tsk
Calls checkip and if the result is 0.0.0.0, launches Chrome, then afterward calls checkip again to set the variable properly.
net.localnet.info.tsk
Returns the variable %LocalIP which gives you the local IP address of the device and %SSID which gives the SSID of the WiFi network you are connected to. Useful if you've set the particular IP address and want to test that (along with SSID) to see if you want to perform a task, such as connecting to a VPN.
net.powercycle.tsk
Powercycles the wifi.

This project provides the usage of netcfg and Tasker to check what interface you're using (cell data, wifi, or VPN) and what your local and internet IP addresses are, and provides a task to pass them to Minimalistic Text for a conky-like interface for your Android phone.
The variables returned are:
- %Iface
- %LocalIP (your IP on the LAN, duh)
- %SSID (the SSID)
- %IPaddy (your WAN IP)
You can see all that is returned from netcfg by (installing a terminal emulator)[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en] and simply running netcfg at the prompt.
