[Q] Tasker Help - General Questions and Answers

Hi!
Can anyone help me out? I'm trying to setup tasker to do the following, but can't find the way to succeed:
1) Whenever I'm in my house, vibration is off. I would like to have all vibrations off but my first intention was to turn of vibration on notifications.
I considered "Cell Near" context to identify my zone > Action: Alert > Notify vibrate off; Exit task for this
Couldn't make it work. Still vibrates with the apps.
2) How can I set my LED notification light to turn off during specific time (Even while charging)?
3) Is it possible to recieve an sms or toast msg with hourly meteorology for the next 6h after alarm is switched off (not snoozed)?
This one is my Atlantis quest lol.
4) Is it possible to inactivate browser (chrome, to be specific) response within certain apps? The idea is to avoid accidental ad clicks in certain apps.
Sorry if you feel that this might be borderline to unethical... I'm not sure. Just don't answer if you feel it's wrong or impossible
Thanks!!

Cut down on notification alerts?

Is there a setting or modification available that can make the phone only alert you that you have a notification every, say... 5 minutes? I don't mean that it'll keep reminding you every 5 minutes for the same notification, I mean that if there are more notifications within 5 minutes of the "first" one, the phone will not alert again.
This would be great for all the scenarios that I can't respond immediately but a friend is messaging me in multiple messages (as is typical behavior in instant messaging). The repeating and sometimes overlapping alerts are bothersome. I still want to know if I got something so I'm not going to just turn off alerts either.
So, is there anything that can help me out?
Anyone?

[Q][TASKER] auto response profile

I am new to Tasker, but I have stumbled around the app a bit to create a few simple profiles like turning on the led with a gesture, opening a menu of music apps when connected to a specific bt device, and toggling radios depending on location. The one thing I cannot figure out is how to perform an action if the phone is currently silent
Is this possible:
// Phone receives a new incoming SMS
// SET %incomingPhone
// If phone is silent (%SILENT = 1?)
// Send outgoing message to %incomingPhone "My phone is silent..."
If someone could point me in the right direction i'd appreciate it.
You are on the right track, what's the problem then?

Is there a way to lengthen the "time on" for the lockscreens w/o entering password?

Is there a way to lengthen the "time on" for the lockscreens w/o entering password?
Title asks it all 8)
Looking to extend the awake time for the lockscreen while it's waiting for one to enter the password, unlock pattern, etc.
EDIT: Reason being - while using the Xposed Quick Access module it would be nice if the screen didn't off itself after a couple of seconds whilst I'm reading whatever info I have set for Quick Access-ability.
Thanks!
Sooo... I think I've solved this issue with a Tasker task. Tested with an n = 1 data set, but that one was a success. Looking forward to future testings to see if this works and solves the issue.
For those interested - in Tasker, I set up an app profile and triggered screen on, never timeout while that app is open / on-screen. Not the most perfect task since I'll have to actively remove the app from the screen for the phone to operate the lock function as normal, but I think it'll work for what I was hoping to do.
- Using Xposed Notification mod, I can pull down the notification menu down when I receive a new notification (an email for example).
- Or even better, using the Dynamic Notifications app I can open the email straight from the dynamic notification (similar to the function found on the Moto X for those not familiar).
- Then through the Xposed Quick Access mod, the email opens right over the lockscreen without going through the whole unlocking the phone process saving a few motions, clicks, etc.
- Then the Tasker task takes over and keeps the screen on whilst I'm reading / responding to the email, then when I delete the email and the lockscreen appears, the Tasker task ends and the screen goes back into default screen off / timeout mode.
Hopefully this will help someone else out in the future, or give someone else another idea! 8)

Issue with Twitter notifcations

So on the htc 10 which is what I am coming from I am able to choose silent notification or different notification level for each app, that seems to have changed. I cant find any way to get rid of vibration or sound just for specific apps within the notification setting panel. In the Twitter app theres nothing specific and if there is I have it off and in the app settings within the phone it just gives me the type of notifications such as direct messages, news etc. No where does it let me turn off sounds or vibrations for the app.
Within the Twitter app in the settings the only option is under Display and Sound, second from the bottom you can turn off in app sounds.
If you go to the app settings (where you would force close or clear data) and tap Notifications it lists multiple categories such as Direct Messages, Related to you and your tweets, etc. Here you can disbale ALL notifications (but moving the slider at the top to OFF) and the checkbox next to each of these turns them on or off completely.
If you tap on the item like Direct Messages (or any other item) you can again toggle them off for that function (same as unchecking on the previous screen) and set the behavior. I have most set to Show Silently, which will not vibrate or make sound. If Make Sound is on, vibrate is available under the Advanced roll up. Review settings for each type and turn vibrate off or change all to Show Silently if that's what you're after.
Hope this helps.

Thanks I had just figured it out when I saw your reply. Now I have a new issue, so I am getting notifications how I want but I am not getting the notification light with them, am i missing something or is there no way to get the notification light to come on with these notifications?

Best kernel/tool to avoid for notifications?

Guys, i'm fed up with notifications working sloppy on my 6. Sometimes the phone doesn't ring when a notifications pops up, even tough it's in RING mode, sometimes it doesn't show notifications at all. Adaptive battery and deep optimization are off. And the important apps have "Don't Optimize" as well.
What can i do to have notifications work all the time? I'm getting enough of my phone's refusal tantrum.
MODS, please delete this duplicate. My apologies.
