calendar note change ringtone - Tasker Tips & Tricks

I need when the calendar alert is triggered to switch the ringtone to loud. Thank you

Use AutoNotification Intercept as the profile context. Add a profile -> Event -> plug-in -> AutoNotification -> AutoNotification Intercept.
It's easier to setup if you have the calendar notification already displaying in the notification drawer. Then you can just use the "Fill From Current" feature in the AutoNotification Intercept configuration screen.
For the entry task, add an action -> audio -> then select the audio channel(s) to change the volume on.

Thank you

Tasker profile selection for audio app??

I've been looking but I haven't seen a tutorial of this certain task. How could I voice commands using Google now to switch between the volume profiles I have setup in my audio app?
Rather than having Tasker change the volumes within Tasker, I want Taker to select preset profiles I have setup in Audio Manager Pro.
Example: Saying Ok Google "loud volume", then it selects the profile within a.m.p. title "loud".
If there is a tutorial I could use for what i'm asking please point me in that direction.

Google now reminders ignoring Interruptions settings in Priority mode?

I'm on 5.1. I want to set priority mode so that it behaves similarly to the old silent mode on prior Android versions. For example, when I'm sleeping, I want to set up priority mode so that I ONLY get alarms (no sound or vibrate for calls, messages, reminders, other app notifications, etc.).
Anyway, I have configured the following settings:
When calls and notifications arrive -> Allow only priority interruptions
Priority interruptions:
Events and reminders -> ***OFF***
Calls -> OFF
Messages -> OFF
My problem is that, even though "Events and reminders" is set to OFF, I STILL get a notification sound and vibration for reminders set within Google Now. However, this DOESN'T happen for reminders attached to notes within Google Keep. I haven't yet tested all the other possibilities with Calendar events and reminders.
In the "App notifications" settings for the "Google App", Priority is OFF.
What is the expected behavior?
This seems like a bug to me.
As an additional comment, it seems like it would be useful to have customizable presets for the Interruptions settings. Depending on the situation, I may want to configure interruption settings differently. For example, sleep vs. in-a-meeting vs. driving vs. in-a-movie-theater, etc. Rather than having a single "Priority" mode, there could be a drop-down where you select from an arbitrary number of customized presets.
Finally, how do the per-app notification priority settings interact with the Interruptions settings? For example, what is supposed to happen if I turn on Priority in the per-app notifications settings for Hangouts, but have Messages OFF in the Interruptions settings. What happens when I get an SMS?

Have you checked the settings in the Google Now app itself? Notifications are set up as either priority or none for the app. Looks like they are set to priority by default. Google Now> tap the 3 lines and select settings> Now Cards.... see the screenshots below.
I have Ringtone set to silent and vibrate turned on. In priority mode, I still get a sound for reminders. I don't really understand what these settings do.

Use Tasker to only get arlo camera notifications at certain times

Is this possible to do through Tasker? If so, how do you code it?
I want my cameras to record but I don't want to get notifications except for after sunset and just after sunrise everyday. So like 6pm to 8am.
Otherwise I want it to record but not notify me.
I posted this on reddit/r/tasker but no one has responded yet.
The time profile is easy. The trigger context is the window of time you want to block notifications.
The task would do the heavy lifting of actually blocking the unwanted notification. You probably could handle that using Notifications Off (Root), assuming of course that you're rooted. Else, AutoNotification can do that for you. Both are tasker integrated.

Unfortunately neither of those are working. I have a pixel that is rooted and an s8+ that is not. So I tried both and I'm still getting notifications. Any ideas?

I didn't specifically state, but should have, that when using the AutoNotification method, an additional profile trigger needs to be an AutoNotification intercept event.
You could post a export (description) of the profile you've built.

Stuff (4)
A1: AutoNotification Block [ Configuration:Apps: com.netgear.android
Toggle: Enable Timeout (Seconds):60 ]
I pressed on export and that's what it gave me.
I also took screenshots. Here you go: https://imgur.com/gallery/bAhRY
Lmk if there is anything else you need.
Your profile is currently triggered by the arlo app. So anytime that app opens, your "stuff" task runs. Not what you were shooting for ?
On the left side of that screen, on top of the part that shows an icon and "arlo", do a long press. That will allow you to add a context.
Choose: state -> plugin -> AutoNotification -> Intercept.
Then leave "Event Behaviour" checked.
Tap on "Action type" and select created.
Tapp on "Apps" and check the box next to the Arlo app.
At the top of the screen tap the check mark to accept the configuration. Then on the next screen, the left arrow at the top left to lock in the context.
You will now have two contexts for that one profile.
Long press the original one for the arlo app and select delete.
Again, long press on the context that is remaining (AutoNotification Intercept) and tap add.
Now tap "time" and configure for the window you want this profile to be active.

[GUIDE] Add sound/vibrate toggle tile in quick settings

In many devices with Android 7.x, there is no tile in quick settings to toggle the vibrate/sound mode. In my opinion, it's too bad. With Tasker, we can add a tile to toggle sound/vibrate mode in quick settings.
Introduced in Android 7.0, the quick settings tiles API allows access to specific actions or settings of an app. It wasn’t until the release of Tasker v5.0 that these tiles became a native feature. Located in the preferences menu under the Action tab, there are 3 slots for Quick Settings Tasks. Clicking the magnifying glass icon opens a menu with Named Tasks to add in any of the three slots.
Prerequisites
Android 7.x
Tasker 5.x+
Please see screenshots below
Adding a quick settings task (tile)
Swipe down to expand the notification shade.
Click on the pencil icon to edit the quick settings tiles and locate the Tasker tiles.
Drag the first one "toggle" to the top, to add it to the notification panel for use.
Instructions
Create a new task and name it: ToggleSound
Select an icon for this task as a speaker: Icon > Holo > Speaker
Open the task and create the entry task:
1. Task > If: %SILENT ~ off
2. Audio > Sound Mode > Vibrate
3. Tasker > Setup Quick Setting > Number: 1, Name: ToggleSound, Status: Inactive
4. Task > Else
5. Audio > Sound Mode > Sound
6. Alert > Vibrate > Time: 50, Continue Task After Error: Yes
7. Tasker > Setup Quick Setting > Number: 1, Name: ToggleSound, Status: Active
8. Task > End If
9. Input > Close System Dialog
Setup quick settings tasks action
Tasker > Preferences > Quick Settings Tasks > Set to the first one the task created: ToggleSound
This tile is usefull for devices without tile to toggle sound/vibrate mode, as Moto series and LineageOS 14.

Block calendar notifications while driving

Hi,
might seem a silly question but it's very annoying while driving that I receive Samsung calendar notifications. While they appear full screen, Waze and music sounds are silenced.
I have to manually dismiss them before all sounds are 'restored'.
I just want to drive without interruptions of the calendar app, anyone know how this can be done? I'm also using Android Auto but don't see any setting that can accomplish this.
thank you
I'm using Tasker and AutoNotifcation for this. I block some notifications and enable the AOD while connected to my cars Bluetooth.
- install both apps
- in Tasker add a task and search for "AutoNotification Block".
- Tap the pen of Configuration and select the apps you want to block the notification for. You can also add the package name manually
- Under "Toggle" set it to "Block"
- go back and set the timeout to none (slide the slider to the most right)
- go back to the task
- go back to the task list
- add a new task, do the same as above but instead of "Block" set the Toggle to "Unblock".
Now you have the needed tasks and you can set the profiles for them.
- In Tasker go to the profile tap and add a new profile, name it whatever you want.
- Tap on "Status" and filter for "Bluetooth connected" (Note: Bluetooth must be enabled while creating the profiles!).
- Name is optional, tap on the magnifying glass for "Address" and select your cars Bluetooth address.
- go back and Tasker will popup a window where you need to assign a task. Assign the "block" task.
- now do the same again but Mark the "Reverse" check mark in the Bluetooth address menu and after this select the "unblock" task.
So, Tasker will tell AutoNotification to block the specific notifications while connected to the Bluetooth device and unblock it if disconnected.
I hope it works for you. I don't know the English menu entries for Tasker since my app is in German, sorry if there's something different.
thanks, great tip : I already bought Tasker a while ago, I'll set it up like that
