I have managed to do the following:
Create a scene that sends a notification.
Phone is running tasker with the autonotification plugin. The autonotification intercepts the notification using any filter you like. As a result tasker reacts by running any other task you want!

Howdy,
I've never tried the lock screen thing but there is a relatively easy way to get device status through Tasker. I have several old phones/tablets hanging around the house as control panels. I hit one button when I'm leaving and tasker checks to see if the garage door is open or closed. Then, along with shutting all my lights off, it will open the garage if it's closed. I also recommend finding a motion camera app that turns your screen on when the front camera sees motion. It's much nicer then having to manually turn the device on.
I've also used Atuoremote with Tasker so that the device in my bedroom gives me audio alerts when things like exterior doors or the garage door opens. Also useful if you want to be warned that you child is out of their room in the middle of the night.

Could you please give me more info about tasker configuration? How did you accomplish that?
Thank you

The link at the bottom of my post was what helped me get the device status. Basically you have to use an HTTP Get action within a task. Then split down the info you receive into a variable. Then base other tasks of that info within that variable. It's been a while since I set it up. Use scenes to create the control panel UI.

Not quite what you are after but this is something else that I'm using at the moment, a little round about though:
I also have eventghost installed on the same windows as InControl along with pushbullet and webserver plugin and pushbullet on my phone.
You have to create a simple webpage through eventghost that has the trigger to send a pushbullet from eventghost to your phone. Incontrol sends a http GET to the webpage. This triggers eventghost/pushbullet to send a note to your phone which Tasker can intercept and do something with.
It would be easier if Ryan can add to the Tasker/Incontrol plugin with the new notifications thing.

This sounds a lot like Autoremote. I just have a scene send a HTTP Get to my Autoremote link with a custom message and Tasker picks it up.

Yes, except it's free. (I know I'm cheap)
I can also send an SMS to the wife's phone as she doesn't have Tasker.

The new notification feature in conjunction with tasker will make it much easier i guess.
Ryan,
Do you have an estimation on when the new notification feature will be available?
Thanks

New notification feature is there for Incontrol at the moment in the betas ( I think it's still in Beta) and it works to get notifications on the phone.
However it isn't in the Tasker plugin that it will intercept a notification with certain text and register it as an event.
Probably could add it to uservoice if you want it to happen.

I've had a go and can't get it to work like that youtube video either.
Tasker sends notification with text as 'Test'
UI Notification with Incontrol HA as the app and 'Test' as the text an nothing registers.

Not sure if I have to get autonotification for it to work like that video.
