Silent Override for calendar notification

[Baz 8755]

I currently have Tasker setup to put my phone into vibratre mode when
at work and silent mode when asleep.

However as I govern my life with calendar events it would be good to
be able to allow the audiable notification for these events when in
these modes.

I can obviously check when I am within the time range of the even but
as all calendar events are set to notify me prior to the actual event
I would need to be able to take the phone off silent at the time the
notification is ringing.

Anyone got any ideas how this could be achieved?

Cheers

You should be able to set up a notification on calendar event context
that will run when the notification occurs. Your task could be to take
phone out of silence, do a notification sound task, and then put it
back in silent mode. This may work for you.

I would do something like this:

Context: Notification, Owner App: Calendar
Context: Variable Value, %SILENT = on/vibrate
Task:
Variable Set %CALNOT = 1

Context: Variable Value %CALNOT Is Set
Enter Task:
Silent Mode Off
Notification Volume 7
Notify Sound, Title: CalNot
Notify Cancel, Title: CalNot
Variable Clear %CALNOT

By using two profiles, you're using the event context (Notification)
to initiate a state context.(Variable Value). The advantage is that
the settings you change (silent mode, notification volume) will return
to their previous states once the profile exits, which will be as soon
as the enter task completes (because the task clears the variable).

Hi,

I have just looked at the notification event but it asks me if I want
to enable the accessibility service.

Will this effect battery life and if need be how could I disable it
again?

The accessibility service must be enabled for the Notification context
to work. You can disable it later by going to Settings >
Accessibility.
