DND Vibrate on Oreo?

[Bryan Moore]

For the life of me, I can't seem to figure out how to create a Profile & Task to "turn on" vibrate only at one time and turn the sound back on at a later time; e.g., during the work day, only allow vibrate. Oreo's built-in DND still fails to have a vibrate choice and it looks like P will be worse.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Did you try the new custom settings action in the beta? Maybe that'll help you find the correct settings?

I don't mean to be thick, but I'm not sure what to do with this and the "how-to" didn't really help...

Did you try clicking the magnifying glass there? :)

[Bryan Moore]

I didn't find what I was looking for there...

What I thought I could do was this:

But that didn't work...

Can you please let me know what phone you're using? Maybe it doesn't support vibrate mode?

[Bryan Moore]

Moto g5+; vibrate works fine...

So if you set it through Tasker it simply does nothing?

[Bryan Moore]

Correct. Tasker will not follow the time rules, only allow me to manually start the vibrate setting action and turn it off, but not to follow a schedule.

Oh I see. Did you enable the "Use Reliable Alarms" option in Tasker?

[Bryan Moore]

Yes.

I just want to be clear, too: I think this is user input error--i.e.,
me--I just can't for the life of me figure out what I'm not doing...

I think it's the phone not you. I have a Moto G5S+ still on Nougat. When I set Vibrate Mode on it only the Notification/System/Ringtone channel(s) are muted. Media, Call Volume, and Alarms are NOT changed. As a result on my phone I have a task that sets the volumes individually to 0 and turns on Vibrate which achieves what you want I think, and then a second task which sets then back to normal. Both tasks are on one toggle widget on my screen.

VolumeOff (133)
A1: Do Not Disturb [ Mode:All Continue Task After Error:On ]
A2: Alarm Volume [ Level:0 Display:Off Sound:Off ]
A3: DTMF Volume [ Level:0 Display:Off Sound:Off ]
A4: Media Volume [ Level:0 Display:Off Sound:Off ]
A5: Notification Volume [ Level:0 Display:Off Sound:Off ]
A6: Ringer Volume [ Level:0 Display:Off Sound:Off ]
A7: Sound Effects [ Set:Off ]
A8: System Volume [ Level:0 Display:Off Sound:Off ]
A9: Vibrate Mode [ Mode:Vibrate ]

Sorry, a P.S. is that I tested it with your time profile and it worked correctly with my task being called to silence the phone on Nougat at least.
