Tasker handling multiple notifications

[gulo]

Hello,

I am using an app called VeraAlerts for a z-wave controlled system.

It sends out Android notification for certain actions. I have Tasker read out loud the notifications using Event->UI-->Notification profile and then Misc-Say %NTITLE task

The problem is that when I unlock the front door it send two notifications back to back withing less than a second. One says what user opened the door and the next one says the door is open. Tasker will only read the first notification.

Is there a way to handle multiple notifications from the same app ?


thanks

This is most likely due to the task collision handling being set to Abort New Task. Try changing it to Run Both Together. The collision handling option is under task preferences.

If that doesn't work then you will need to create a queue for the incoming notifications and handle them one at a time.

Aside from changing collision handling to Run Together, you'll need to use local variables instead of %NTITLE. When two notifications come in quickly, by the time the first task runs %NTITLE has probably changed to the value in the second notification.

If you use %evtprm2 it should get over that problem.
