Problem with setting automatic sending of SMS messages

[Jakub Siedlecki]

Hi,
I'm having trouble setting up Tasker correctly. I need Tasker to automatically send a text message with a specific content at 6:30 AM from Monday to Friday and a different one at 5:30 PM to a specified phone number.
The automation is intended to arm and disarm the alarm system, which is controlled by sending a command via text message to the control panel (different text messages for arming and disarming the alarm).
I created two tasks. I also created a profile that I set to 'Monday to Friday'. I loaded the created tasks into the profile. Of course, the profile has the slider set to 'active', and I clicked 'play' next to the tasks themselves.
I should add that I've granted Tasker all possible permissions, including system modifications, disabled all possible battery optimizations, prioritized it over other apps, and enabled all possible notifications.
Despite this, I don't have the message in my outbox that should be sent at a specific time. Additionally, when the alarm panel receives a text message, it automatically sends back a confirmation saying "alarm system enabled" or "alarm system disabled." Even if I didn't have any messages sent by Tasker in my outbox and the text message was sent correctly by Tasker, I would still receive feedback from the alarm panel.

Please help me configure Tasker correctly.

I'm attaching screenshots of my settings. Where "xxxxx" appears on the screen, the default phone number is entered.

Can you please export your profile's description (not xml) so I can take a look? Long-click the profile in Tasker->export description Thanks in advance

you need separate Time contexts for 6:30 AM and 5:30 PM, not just a weekday filter on one profile.

Try this and see if it works:

Task Name: Arm Alarm AM
1. New Task → Name: "Arm Alarm AM"
2. Add Action: Net → Send SMS
   • Number: [your alarm panel phone number]
   • Message: [your arm command, e.g. "ARM NOW"]
   • SIM: SIM1 (or your default)
3. Add Action: Alert → Flash
   • Text: "Arm command sent at %TIME"
   • Long: No
4. Add Action: Alert → Vibrate
   • Duration: 100

Task Name: Disarm Alarm PM
1. New Task → Name: "Disarm Alarm PM"
2. Add Action: Net → Send SMS
   • Number: [your alarm panel phone number]
   • Message: [your disarm command, e.g. "DISARM NOW"]
   • SIM: SIM1 (or your default)
3. Add Action: Alert → Flash
   • Text: "Disarm command sent at %TIME"
   • Long: No
4. Add Action: Alert → Vibrate
   • Duration: 100  

Profile: Arm Alarm Weekdays 6:30AM
1. New Profile → Time
   • From: 6:30
   • To: 6:31 (1-minute window prevents Doze issues)
2. Extra → Day: Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri
3. Link to Task: Arm Alarm AM
4. Long press profile → slider ON

Profile: Disarm Alarm Weekdays 5:30PM
1. New Profile → Time  
   • From: 17:30 (5:30 PM 24hr format)
   • To: 17:31
2. Extra → Day: Mon,Tue,Wed,Thu,Fri
3. Link to Task: Disarm Alarm PM
4. Long press profile → slider ON

maybe this will work for you  

Cheers!
