Can Tasker differentiate between silent mode and vibrate mode?

[Travis Stinebaugh]

Hello, I'm trying to write a task in Tasker that will allow me to change the system volume from 0 to 7 when a starred contact is calling (which I already configured in a profile), but only if the phone is in silent mode and not vibrate mode. Is there any variable I can use as an if condition that would differentiate between vibrate and silent mode?

Currently the task looks like this:

If system volume = 0

   system volume = 7

   wait 45 seconds

   system volume = 0

I'd like it to be something like this:

If system volume = 0

   If vibrate = disabled

      system volume = 7

      wait 45 seconds

      system volume = 0

Does such a variable exist? Thanks in advance!

The variable is %SILENT. You can look in the user guide (menu -> info -> user guide) for more info (and even more variables!).

Sorry, I didn't have my phone with me and didn't get the exact sequence of variables I'm using.

I am actually already using %SILENT in my profile.

The correct code is:

If %SILENT is set

   System volume = 7

   Wait 45 seconds

   System volume = 0

It is still triggered in vibrate mode though.

%SILENT is always set to value. Check the user guide for info on the %SILENT variable as Matt suggested.

Oh okay, I got it working. The correct variable condition was If %SILENT ~R on

Thanks for the quick help guys!

You don't need to do a regex match.  Just do a regular match.
