WM Phone Notification Mode


	Instructions


	Version:  2025-01-01
	Original: 2017-06-08

	If you are updating please read the Release Notes file!


	Introduction:

This app allows you to find out the notification mode (normal, vibrate, or silent) and the Do Not Disturb mode (allow all, alarms, priority, no interruptions) of your phone from Watchmaker.  It also allows you to change modes.


	Instructions:

Once installed you simply run the app to get it started.  The first time you run the app you may be asked to grant it permission to write over other apps and to read your calendar.  Why does it ask for access to your calendar?  I assure you that nothing in my code tries to access your calendar.  My guess is that some more general function it does use could access your Calendar if it were applied differntly.  If would like to check on this please feel free to look at the actual source code (apps.aslanrefuge.org).

If the app stops working you probably just need to run it again.

Inside Watchmaker you can find your phone's current notification mode using the tag:
{twpn_mode}

	Values:
on			Normal sound and vibration
vibrate		Vibrate-only mode (no sound)
off			No sound or vibration

You can find your phone's current Do Not Disturb mode using the tag:
{twpn_mode_dnd}

	Values:
all			Allow all interruptions
alarms		Allow only alarms
priority	Allow priority options and apps
none		No interruptions

This app also creates two other tags:
{twpn_mode_version}	Version
{twpn_mode_as}		Running as Tasker or app ("Tasker" or "app")

If you want to change the phone notification mode from Watchmaker you can have it run the "WM Phone Notification" app.  It will toggle between off and vibrate.


	Tasker Users:

If you use Tasker and import the project for this app, instead of installing the app itself, your Watchmaker faces can assign its Tasker tasks to a layer's Tap Action.  The following tasks are available to let you change the phone notification mode:

phone notification cycle (on -> vibrate -> off -> on)
phone notification toggle (on -> vibrate -> on)
phone notification set on
phone notificaiton set vibrate
phone notificaiton set silent

phone notification dnd toggle (all -> priority -> all)
phone notification dnd all
phone notification dnd alarms
phone notification dnd priority
phone notification dnd none

You will know you can use those tasks if {twpn_mode_as} == 'Tasker'.


	Conclusion:

I have tried to make this as simple as possible to setup.  Please email problems, questions, suggestions, and feedback to support@apps.aslanrefuge.org.  I'm sure there are bugs to be found.  :-}
