toggle 'mute connected phone'

scenario :
- during the day, I want 'mute connected phone' active
- at night, I want my phone to ring, as I usually remove my watch at home ..
is there a way to do this automatically .. been trying to find it using tasker, no go ..

You could use any scheduling app, such as Trigger. To have the phone sound profile set to Priority/Mute during daytime hours and ring at night.

hmm .. that's not my idea .. but It does gave me another idea .. thanks ..

I use something similar to Trigger, but the "mute connected phone" option in Android Wear overrides any profile settings. I have to disconnect my watch when I get home as this is the only solution I can find.
I keep my phone on my desk at work and pre-L I used a profile manager to mute my phone; but keep my watch vibrating. With L as soon as I mute my phone the watch also mutes.

solved with Tasker
I solved this with tasker :
made several profile :
- home, night -> medium volume
- day, watch connected (bt connected)-> silent
- day, no watch connected (bt not connected)-> loud
and on the android wear apps, I don't enable mute phone while watch connected option, so all volume control is in Tasker

Wifi Near profile doesn't switch off vibrate mode

I have a WiFi Near profile which activates if the CELLA variable is equal 1 and my home wifi is near.
It turns on the wifi which is working fine and there is a command Silent mode OFF which is not working for some unknown reason. I have also tried to replace this command with the Ringer volume set to 5 command but this also doesn't work.
I can feel one vibration if this profile becomes active so I think this maybe working but after that it is immediately turns in to vibrate mode.
What could be the problem?

Tasker & BT Media Volume Automation

Has anyone got any experience with automating sound settings with Tasker on the Huawei P10?
I have a task that should turn off the WiFi & turn up the BT volume when connected to my car's WiFi. My WiFi gets turned off as expected when I connect, but the volume stays at 0.
This task worked flawlessly with my Sony Xperia I upgraded from.

I have experience with tasker service getting killed every few days on my p10. I have no idea why.

Some actually! I've used Tasker for several years on the P10, P9, HTC M9, M8 M7 etc etc and have similar profiles running to turn off WiFi, read out SMS's etc when I connect to my car.
Firstly is Phone Audio & Media Audio both turned on in the settings of the paired device (car) in Bluetooth settings?
What volume are you trying to change, phone call, media or both? (In Tasker... BT Voice Volume or Media Volume?)
I've just tested my P10 in Tasker, while connected to my car, and both BT Voice and Media change volume up and down with no issues.

On the Phone: Settings, Apps, Settings, Special Access, Ignore Optimisations, All Apps at top, Allow Tasker
In Tasker: Preferences, Monitor tab, Run in Foreground (Probably ticked already)

Thanks, but everything is already set.

OK, how about this bit then (shouldn't make any difference if you've allowed Tasker to ignore optimisations, but you never know!)...
Settings, Apps, Tasker, Battery, Power Intensive prompt & Close after screen locked both off
While I've not specifically noticed Tasker being killed, I've noticed the P10 (& my P9 before it) would sometimes randomly close things anyway, nevermind what ignore options were ticked! But they did usually restart of their own accord soon after. May just be a "glitch" with EMUI/Huawei phones!

Yep, both are already off. And it's the same for dropbox. Photos just won't upload anymore after few days.
Looks like huawei really is overly enthusiastic in closing background apps

My task is set to turn the media volume to max (15) then adjust the BT volume to max (again, 15) before turning the phones WiFi off. I've also tried to use the app Volume Profile, which has a Tasker plugin. I don't know if I need to set a delay? My old phone worked without one, but I remember I had timing issues in the past with other phones.

I had similar problems, they seemed to go away over time. I remember reading in reviews that Huawei uses machine learning to optimise app response and battery, so I don't know if that's influenced things improving over time. I remember my phone mysteriously revoking notification access I granted apps.

Don't think you need a delay, mine certainly doesn't, just done a test again changing both at the same time without a delay...no problems
This is the task I just tested....
Tester (50)
A1: BT Voice Volume [ Level:8 Display: On Sound: Off ]
A2: Media Volume [ Level:8 Display: On Sound: Off ]
Try it on yours. The "Display" bit just shows it's worked. You don't actually need it, but it's a good "bug check" as would be the Sound option, to make sure the task is actually working. The 50 is just the number of my task.

Yes you may be right, certainly Huawei does seem to mess about with permissions etc that other android phones don't!

Tasker sleep profile - vibrating

I am trying to set up a profile for sleeping where my volume is off and no vibrate. I have it set up to trigger when I plug it in for charging and that works fine, but the action is evading me.
If I use dnd then when it "wakes up" (turns off dnd in the exit side) it plays my current notification sound which wakes up my wife.
If I try to set volume to 0 I still cannot turn off vibrate.
My phone (s8+) has a "sound mode" with sound/vibrate/mute but I can't find the corresponding tasker action to set this.
My desire is to have both ringer volume and notification volume 0 with no vibration. I don't want any sound or beep or vibration to happen when I end this profile. (If something causes a notification at that moment I understand that it will beep - what I am trying to avoid is the beep which is generated automatically exiting from the profile).

Does the "audio -> vibrate mode" action not work?
