Major release. Adds widget monitoring, more flexible selectors, and several Tasker actions:

  • Widget Updated — trigger a Tasker event when a widget or a selected element changes. Selectors can be path or regex, provides %widget_value, %widget_old_value, %widget_changed() and %widget_json.
  • Click Widget — allows to click an element by path, text or regex. Unifies the Click Widget Text and Click Widget Path actions.
  • Get Widget Data — reads the whole widget as json or a selected element. Selectors can be path or regex, provides %widget_value or %widget_json. Unifies the Get Widget Data and Get Widget JSON actions.
  • Pause Watching Widgets — pause or resume background widget monitoring.
  • Keep the CPU Awake — control the monitor's wake lock from Tasker.

Improved reliability to recover lost widget bindings and displaced monitored widgets.

⚠️ Compatibility with WidgetRelay v1.0 — since some Tasker actions were merged into unified actions, you may need to reconfigure actions after updating.

Requires Android 6.0+, Tasker, "Display over other apps" for widget access, and additional notification/background permissions for widget monitoring.
