Ratings and reviews

I cannot assign numbers to %btbuttonnum according to BT button pressed on my connected BT remote with play control buttons. This is possibly due to lacking documentation that needs to be greatly improved. It looks like only one or two buttons on the remote can be used fot automation? Many remotes have 5 buttons: (+) (-)(back)(forward)(play/pause].

When I was 2way integrating Tasker and KWGT, I found it difficult to totally disconnect Bluetooth headset from my phone through a tasker task. It's an android limitation, i guess. So I had to turn to this plug-in. Yeah, it solved the issue. Nah, it no longer serves the purpose it was installed for. It's a good plugin, nonetheless. Yet, there is onething that I don't understand. Why does an app, that was released in 2015, not have rating.

i have a OnePlus 8 Pro and installed this thinking it would allow me to actually use Tasker to disconnect a connected Bluetooth device (normal disconnect task won't work). i still can't get it to work. no instructions on how to use the plugin in a Tasker task. can't find it when searching Tasker. Fail.
