I assume that just disables the pin of whatever lock you have. I only use the slide unlock and if I use Tasker to wake my phone it stays at the slide unlock screen.

Oh I see. So if you're out and about your phone is unsecure? Tut!
I have no idea about the thing though, sorry.

Yup. No security on here. I can't be bothered with a pin or anything.
Seems silly that there's no way to wake the phone to the home screen. If I try to go to an URL from the lock screen nothing happens. And it didn't work this morning after the call/end call thing so we had a cold house.

You don't want a cold house!
I've got a new remote/wireless relay to fit to the boiler to change from the arduino+receiver+relay combo.

Right but what you're doing here is avoiding using the simple timer function of your heating by some overcomplicated kludge phone thing involving two apps but at the root of it is your phone's clock, ie a simple timer... I say you pretty much are asking for a cold house!

Possibly a better idea
Create a PHP file that has a PHP exec command in it to run a script that turns on the heating.
Tasker can run file/http open commands, point at that address.
You may even have the possibility to do that already with your web interface and tasker.
Just checked, it's the HTTP Get task.

So if you have something like this
http://ipaddress/homeautomation.php?command=turnonheating
You could use tasker to "open" that address.

Does that work with the screen off? If so that would definitely work.
My web server does that yeah, so
http://ip.net/boiler/index.html?param=heatingon
(or heatingon90 for 1.5hrs of heating (or heatingon13 if you're feeling unlucky))

Yeah, screen off is fine. All in the background, you just need to set the trigger.
