Created a Tasker profile for continuous notification upon receiving SMS, how to Exit?

I have created below tasker profile to generate continuous notification with Flash on & off upon receiving a text message with word "Emergency" in it. It works perfectly however I cannot find a way to stop the sound, vibration and Flash light loop.
I tried to create a scene with TAP action = cancel alarm (disable any) but it just opens system's alarm app.
Please suggest a way to stop this loop. I created this profile so I do not miss any Important SMS page from work while sleeping.
P. S. = I used alarm as notification type because it will play even while my phone is set to silent profile (Device - oneplus 3T). If alert slider is set to silent only alarms are working.

The ringtone action can't be stopped, it runs autonomously (unless the "silence ringer" action works on your device).
So, I would use a Music Play action with the output stream set to alarm. Then in the scene, you can have a Music Stop action attached to a button in the scene. If you don't have a stop button in the scene, you need to add one.
There is also a variable "%PerotStop" that I added. It is set to "true" when the stop button is tapped and the GoTo action executes only if it's not true.
Notice that the GoTo doesn't go back to the Music Play action, but only back to cycle the vibrate and torch. It's not necessary to do more, just check the box to loop the music in the Music Play action.
Finally, after the GoTo stops executing, we clear the "%PerotStop" variable and it's ready for the next time.
Note: the [X] at action 7 shows that it's paused and won't run.

Silence when flipp, but not when the phone is already flipped

I'm using a downloaded task profile to silence my phone when ringing when i'm flipping it. The tasker profile also sends a SMS to the caller to let them know i'm not be able to pick u the phone richt now.
This task works out great except for one thing . When the phone is already upside down (flipped) the task will be activated right away, so I won't be able to pick up the phone and answer the call even if I wanted to.
Can somebody please help me solve this problem, by (for example) adding a timer of 10 seconds or something like that.

SMS Read, reply, change , cancel profile

I just did little modifications.
I had some problems with AutoNotification it just doesn't want to read aloud anything.
I used google Text - to - Speech which was updated again just today.
Note 4, Tasker v5.8.5. Android 6.0.1. Not rooted.
Installed Media Utilities and Security Setting from Google Play. Honestly I have no idea what do they do but I believe they will stop music playing when a text message comes.
I used one of the voices in the Google TTS. It works without WIFI or DATA or Internet connection.
It used Media stream and most of the Respect Audio Focus were set to OFF.

My variable profile isn't active but it is when I add it to a task?

I've been using Tasker for awhile but I'm not too tech savvy so I thought I had this right but it isn't working. I basically want the sound on my phone to mute when I turn off my earbuds in certain situations. 1 of the situations I want it to turn off is when I am at home, during the week, after 6pm. I made a variable with those 3 in it called Weekdays. So I set the exit variable task If the weekday variable is set to mute my phone. When I look at the actual variable profile right now it is red, which it should be because it is not past 6pm. But when I put the variable in the task it is showing green as if it is active. Am I doing something wrong?
Here is the Weekday variable I set up 1st.

YouTube Vanced AutoPlay after being disconnected (not paused) from car bluetooth

Hello,
I came across XDA in my various searches for Tasker and media related inquiries. I posted this originally on Reddit and got some replies and made some things happen but it seems I've hit a dead end. What I would like to do is have my YouTube Vanced auto restart playback when I am reconnected to my car. Depending on the sequence of things, at times, the application can be paused (with the play button visible in the mini-player) and other times it has a pause button displayed in the mini player and won't initiate playback after turning back on the car.
I've been able to follow this description left by a user on Reddit - which has allowed me to playback any "APM Policy Manager start and stop output". It works with the toast notification but alas if my car is turned off and I see the pause button and not the play button, it won't continue playback on connection. My car seems to send a disconnect message and therefore I see the pause button - my headphones seem to send a pause and therefore I see a play button on the mini-player if they are ever disconnected.
Initially we are acting on logcat messages - perhaps I thought about deciphering the difference between my car disconnect message and the headphone disconnect message but I am not sure. Here is the code to make this happen - anyone try the same thing?

Here is the Reddit link as well: YouTube Vanced - AutoPlay
I have had some success with making a task with Play (simulated) on %app1 etc... but %app1 can change to the display or .... LED cover if the screen is just opened on my phone... etc. I've even tried Open App, %app1, or YouTube Vanced... simulate play or toggle paused... no avail.
Can you intercept the bluetooth disconnect message in a logcat and block it? Or change it to something? Is Tasker the right tool for all automation ideas? I have tried MacroDroid, Automate... they seem more userfriendly but then I found myself left underwhelmed - perhaps my lack of experience and knowledge is the only factor.
Cheers,
Erik
