Greetings and thanks for any help,

I used the following profile to set up an automatic response while driving.  http://tasker.wikidot.com/auto-replysms-driving   It works really well with 1 exception...  

If I get a group text, it reads my name as the default Text from %SMSRN.  No worries on this part but the automated response comes back to my own mobile and keeps repeating the auto response until I turn Tasker physically off.  It may be my messaging app that's doing it but I was hoping to program Tasker to say "if from me" do NOT send the auto reply message (using my own phone number or other identifier as the method to turn the auto response off.  I've attached a screen shot of the present programming and tried to accomplish this in steps 4 and 5 but it doesn't seem to be working.

Have you tried to combine 5 and 6 to an ElseIf action?

It is always easier to help if you post the exported profile description.



To post your profile or task here...  Long press on the profile or task name / ( 3 dot menu with 4.0+ ) export / export "DESCRIPTION" to clipboard (not XML)

Any linked tasks will be exported with the profile they are linked to..

To be able to export, The beginner mode needs to be off and the profile needs to be named by you (Not the Tasker listed name.  Tasker will list your profile with the context name if you have not given it one).



It looks like you just need to add a 'stop' action after A4
