Auto DND (Do not disturb) mode

[GroovyGeek]

Guys who use tasker, care to share your Profile for it?

OK, aftersome messing around I think I have figured out both how to get DnD to work on a schedule, and also how to get all three sound modes (normal, silent, vibrate) out of the OP5

Initial setup: Settings->Alert Slider->Silent: Enable Vibration=OFF
This is essential in order to get all three sound modes with Tasker. The other modes in the Alerts Slider can get set you your liking.

To turn DnD on/off

Condition: from 10:00PM till 7:00AM (you can change this as well as add days of the week as you need)
Entrance action: Do not disturb=Priority
Exit action: Do not disturb=All

That's pretty much all it takes. You can then control what sounds are played and what are supressed with the settings of the Do Not Disturb alerts slider.

To toggle through sound modes download the Sound Mode Plugin and then define a new task

If (%SILENT eq off)
 Sound Mode: Configuration=Silent
 Flash "Silent"
Else If (%SILENT eq  on)
 Sound Mode: Configuration=Vibrate
 Flash "Vibrate"
Else
 Sound Mode: Configuration=Normal
 Flash "Normal"
End if

Associate the above task with a widget, give it a pretty icon and add to your home screen. Then every time you touch the icon it will go to the next mode Normal->Silent->Vibrate->Normal. The only thing that does not work at the moment is that in vibrate mode there is no icon in the status bar to tell you that you are in vibrate. You can probably manage that with Tasker too.

Can you share the xlm file for this? I'm brand new to tasker... couldn't figure out how to do all this yet. Thanks.

This was one of the most useful feature of OnePlus 3, I wonder why they changed it... Who wants to do this stuff manually? Tasker is not free. llama is not really straight forward.
Damn, I'll miss this!

Note that "Automateit" is free and comes with 6 default rules including a silent mode at night.
I just installed it, couldn't test if it's compatible with the usual DnD of OP5, but worth the try.

I use IFTTT less complicated than tasker

+1 & Thanks!

This works PERFECT with root access - totally saved this phone for me.
Excellent find!

I feel that the switch idea was a bad one. And it smacks of copying iPhone design. There are reasons why Android is/should be different in features like this. IMO
My #1 install-first app had been Shush! Basically DND/Silent on a timer. Brilliant for movies, meetings, etc. so you don't forget to come off Silence. But the switch breaks that.

Thanks for the tip. I have it setup like this but now when I have the slider in the "silent" mode, my phone won't vibrate outside of the defined scheduled time for the tasker's "do not disturb". Any idea how to fix it?

Does the Tasker solution require root? Seems like no matter what, my Tasker tasks won't override the current setting. For example, triggering Vibrateff or DND:Alarms will -- for a split second -- turn off vibration. I can see the icon change in the notification bar for a split second, then it changes right back to whatever OxygenOS has it set to. Is everyone doing this with root?

The tasker sound mode plugin does not require root, if you reference to that. It switches modes nicely.

Ok, I'll give that plugin a try. I was using the "Audio" config.

Also I just noticed this is a OnePlus 5 thread. I'm on the 5t. Not sure if that matters. I'm running OxygenOS 4.7.6

Alright, this still isn't working for me even with Sound Mode Plugin for Tasker. I must be missing something or maybe I have a different OS version.

No matter what I try, when I run the task, nothing changes in terms of Vibrate on/off. It stays at whatever the slider is set too. Here is my Tasker action and here are my OS settings. Racking my brain here.

Alright I got it to work. The slider MUST be in "Normal" position, the bottom one, for any of the Tasker actions to take effect. Not sure if that's what everyone was already doing, or if it's just me who had this problem.

You're really better off flashing a custom ROM that has more respect for Android. Oxygen is the Chinese operating system Hydrogen with Google Play Services installed. Eliminating scheduled DND is one of the ways Oxygen "improved" on Android in ways that make no sense. Another is swiping down to answer phone calls. Another was turning off Doze mode by default in OOS Nougat and hiding a toggle to turn it on in the hidden developer settings.

If you download the Chinese Hydrogen operating system,flash it selecting English as the default language and manually install Google Play Services you won't be able to tell the difference between Oxygen and Hydrogen. Oxygen beginning with Nougat has been 100% programmed in China by the Hydrogen programming team. And since One Plus sells hardly any phones in China they don't attract the most talented software engineers.

My tasker profile works but whenever I get a notification the sound profile resets, is there any fix for this?
