I need a guide to create an advanced profile with tasker - Tasker Tips & Tricks

I need to disable notification sound only from selected app (For example what's app) when Bluetooth headset is connected. Is it possible with tasker? If yes please tell me how.......
Thanks in advance

my personal thoughts, this is so complicating and might not worth it... unless you have a real good reason for doing it, I would not recommend trying to implement this.
in case you still want this, you can try:
- install autoinput or something similar to mimic your actions in turning off sounds in those apps
- link those actions to a Tasker profile with Bluetooth conditions
I imagine you would need to have screen turned on for the actions to be carried out

This should not be very difficult.
You should set a profile to create a variable When bluetooth is connected.
Then a profile when the app is running, the task within would be: set a variable to memorize current media volume, then "if bluetooth connected, set media volume to zero".
Exit task would be: set volume media to original media volume.

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.

Repeating timer question

Device: Pebble Time
Goal:
No Bluetooth connection
Start a repeating timer (vibrate every 5mins)
By shortcut button (ie. Long press up)
Without leaving the watchface
Stop by same method.
Anyone have an Idea how to do this?
The only way I can think of is using Tasker (needs bluetooth) or using a timer app (leaves watchface to go to app).
Any help is much appreciated
Pebble Cloud would make adding this function easy. They have great examples and tutorials. That would be one way to add this.
Your idea about tasker would work also, you would need to start a timer, alert, restart timer, stop timer if pebble connects.
Message me if you are interested in Pebble Cloud, I can send you a zip of the basic time date weather battery bluetooth disconnect layout to get started. It's actually a lot of fun to write your own watch face!

Set a variable when bluetooth is enabled manually

Hi,
lets say i want that every time my smartphone connects with the wlan at home bluetooth should be enabled and disabled when i leave the wlan. this is easy to do with tasker.
but when i enable bt manually when i'm not at home, then tasker has nothing to do when i connect to the wlan. but whe i leave it bluetooth will be disabled.
is there any way to prevent bluetooth disable when i've enabled it manually? maybe there is a solution using variables? set a variable from 0 to 1 when bluetooth is enabled manually and not when it enabled automatically via tasker?
Restore settings being enabled in your profile will automatically restore the configuration based on the entry task. Deselect restore settings (long press profile, with it selected tap the cog/gear icon) and expressly restore the settings in your exit task.
In the entry task add a variable set %BTon to "true". Include an "if statement" in the variable set action "if %BLUE does not match on".
Then in the exit task, when you expressly turn off Bluetooth, add an "if statement" to the BT off action so it only runs if the variable "%BTon matches true".
Make sure to add a variable clear for the %BTon variable at the end of your exit task.
Tips
Thanks

Automatic Do Not Disturb

With my Pixel 3 I could set it to automatically go into Do Not Disturb during a calendar event (such as a meeting). I can't find this setting on the S10. Is it there, or is there an app that will do it automatically?

You can set this up in Tasker. It's a bit of a learning curve to create each scenario you want, but it can work very well.
I currently have it changing my sound mode to Vibrate and media volume to 1 when I connect to my work's WiFi. And then it will change the sound mode to Normal and media volume Max when I connect to my car's bluetooth.
I'm using Bixby Routines to set separate Do Not Disturb rules - one for weekends and one for weekdays. Surprised Samsung didn't include this ability in the Do Not Disturb settings like the Pixels have.

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
