Not the most elegant thread title I've ever done, so I'll try to explain. I thought Modes and Routines might do this but so far I've failed.

Trigger: connect to my home WiFi (i.e. I'm at home!)
Desired behaviour: keep the phone on vibrate for notifications, but have my Ring app able to generate sound on notifications - i.e. Hear the door chime through my phone.

Any idea how I could do this please? I seem to be able to put the phone on DnD but exclude certain apps, or I can change from sound/vibrate/silent profiles, but I can't seem to achieve what I'm after.

Huge thanks for any help.
 
Maybe Tasker and Autonotification to do this? Use a Tasker task to set the phone to vibrate/silent when connected to a specific wifi, and Autonotification to intercept the notification which would then trigger another Tasker task to allow the notification sound to play temporarily. Might need to set a wav file of the chime and store that on the phone, make Tasker play that rather than the original notification...not sure as I've never tried notification sounds in the way you want.

I have many wifi-based triggered tasks depending on which wifi the phone (also an S21) can see or is connected to, including putting the phone on silent at work, normal at home etc. I also have tasks where a notification is received from a particular app will have the phone read some text, or in some cases the specific notification text, out loud but only if I'm at home (based on connected wifi,) and then dismiss the notification automatically. To be honest with the sheer power of the app and all the available plugins, the only limit is really your imagination.

(Actually just realised I have 98 tasks set up, might be time for a cleanup!)

(Edited for spelling.)
