Has anyone managed to get Do Not Disturb mode to work properly on S8 using Tasker?

I'm not sure where else to put this, and I haven't managed to find any solutions in any of the other threads about this, so hopefully some of you knowledgeable folks can help.

On my S4, then S6 Edge I had a Tasker profile to turn on Do Not Disturb automatically when I plug my phone in to charge at night, and it worked a treat.

Now with the S8, no matter what I try, it still vibrates and activates the LED notification, even though it is showing as Do Not Disturb mode on, and in the settings I have ticked all the options to hide notifications when the screen is on, and off, and set no exceptions, or alarms only with the same result.

Any ideas?

Should I just try a different configuration in Tasker that doesn't actually use the Samsung 'Do Not Disturb' mode? Like I had on the S4, before there was a Do Not Disturb option?

I have even tried it with Tasker disabled, and just the system Do Not Disturb mode enabled, but it still disturbed..

Here & Now
In Tasker set Do Not Disturb to Alarms if you want to get the alarms sound only.
Other options:
None = NO sound at all - all muted
Priority = As set in settings
All = All sounds/vibration are audible (on/unmuted) = back to normal
Alarms = only alarms are audible

The variable controlling the Do Not DIsturb in Tasker is %INTERRUPT. As far as I know, the LED notification doesn't have anything to do with Do Not Disturb mode.

If none of the above works as intended (no vibrations), try using Sound Mod Plugin instead. I had mixed results with it in Nougat, but it's worth giving it a try.
