Hi Murtuma,

That's very kind of you... I think i'll be ok using two flows, one for night one for day... and add volume controls for each of the Ringer System Notifications Media Alarm Volumes...

I may need some help in the future, so thanks for being willing to help!

Condition: Expression
trigger == "write here trigger name exactly, with quotes"
True path executes only when the named trigger executes the flow. False path is the opposite; it executes only when any other than before named trigger fires up.
Excellent, didn't know that was possible (I'd not spotted the 'trigger' variable') - I've been looking for non-expression based conditions to use that do the same kind of things as the trigger.

What a complete PITA! I heard though that lollipop 5.1 WILL HAVE MUTE!!!!

thank the lord for small mercies

I've fiddled with Priority too. It's very confusing.

Interruption mode = None is problematic if you expect Alarms to still interrupt you - they won't

I use Priority interruptions mode set with NO exceptions. This works like mute for me.

Off topic, but what I find confusing is how the exceptions are set up for this mode. On a stock Nexus 4, I can set Events and Reminders, Calls or Messages

Events and Reminders: ANY Calendar event, I presume. What's classed as Reminders - some notifications?
Calls: This once seems obvious
Messages: Emails? SMSs? And from which apps?

Hi Wibbly,

Yeah, sort of... except it does not lower any of the actual volumes... so last night I woke my wife by unlocking my "Priority Muted" phone, and it made the same, LOUD chiming sound it usually makes... so this new paradigm by google is a bit of a mess IMO. I heard they were bringing back Silent mode for 5.1... lets hope!

Cheers mate

Ah. My phone doesn't make a chiming when I unlock it. Yours may not be a Google problem per-se - rather depends what your ROM does...

If you just want Vibrate mode, have you tried tapping the bell icon on the left of the shade that drops down when you use the volume controls?

Hi,
No, because I hate vibrate mode, having it vibrate at everything I do...
The chime could be got rid of, that is an option, but I like it on during the day, so that would be another thing that needs to be turned off by my automagic script every night, and back on in the morning...

Me too. Not sure what happens if you've not set any notifications individually to vibrate and then set vibrate only mode. Does it just mute?

Either way, this stuff has become very unintuative :-(

Hi,
do you mean if I set the "interruptions" to Priority but do not select anything as a priority, and then drop volumes to Zero (vibrate) ?

I meant ensure your individual app notifications don't normally cause a vibration (you may have them set that way anyway in their respective settings). Then

1. The pressing the Bell symbol thing may work as an effective Mute (though I'm not sure if you can toggle this in Automagic)
2. Using Priority notification mode with no exceptions may work as an effective mute

Last problem is your unlock sound. I'm presuming this is coming from a custom or vendor ROM - it doesn't seem to be standard Android, so unlikely you'll be able to control this directly from Automagic. So you may have to continue to experiment with Automagic setting your volume controls.
