OnePlus Silent Mode / Do Not Disturb Slider

[anon(5519702)]

Hi All,
My Nexus 6P has died (bootloop fault), so I am patiently waiting for the OP5. I have used automation apps such as Tasker, and more recently Macrodroid for some years now. Can you use these types of apps to control the Do Not Disturb modes on OnePlus handsets even though it has the slider control? Or does the slider rule over everything stopping any form of automated control?

Thanks for the feedback
Steve

A little surprised at 88 views, but no feedback, hey ho.

Anyway, found a colleague that has an OP3T, he was happy to install Macrodroid and run a test for me. It works fine, just overrides the slider. Sliding up and down again resets the slider position if required.

Looks like Tuesday will cost me a new phone.

How exactly does it work? Do you create a new macro or what? Can you explain more specifically?
