Perform repeat notifications?

[Todd]

I'm just discovering and digging into Tasker while contemplating a
purchase. Reviewing the documentation online, I can't quite ascertain
if Tasker will fit a particular need that I have.

Can Tasker be used to provide repeat notifications of events such as
missed calls and SMS messages? That is, I want to be able to use
Tasker to make my phone chirp/vibrate when a call is missed until it
is acknowledged. The same for a pending SMS.

It looks like I can fire off a sound on either of these two events,
but can I then start a 2-minute (example) timer to repeat that sound
and cancel it on view of the missed call or SMS?

Thank you.

You can using variables.

A context that set variable %MISSEDCALL = 1 when a call is missed.
A time context that run every x minutes that play a notification sound
if the variable %MISSEDCALL = 1
A context that suppress the notify when you click it (notification
click event context, notify cancel - alert task).

In future release there will be a state missed call, so you can delete
some context.

...in the last context set %MISSEDCALL to 0 or clear it.

Or:

Time: Repeat 2 Mins (no from/to time)
State: Missed Call
Action: somekindofalert

I *think* the time profile won't monitor unless the missed call state
is active.

Good idea. Thank you.

Nice. Thank you.

Todd, you need beta to do this, and remember to add an exit task to
suppress notify if it is "permanent" (e.g. led).

I have written an idea for last stable release ;-)
