Silence notification sound for a specific period of time - Android 12

[Varaloba]

I have a number of apps that give me a notification sound for approaching rainfall, these generally give a notification sound between 08.00 - 22.00 each day.

Would it be possible to silence them all, for a set time, let's say 11.00 - 12.00, after which the notification sound goes back to normal (I would still like the notification, but not the sound during the quiet time)?

I guess, I would like to put these apps together in one macro, and have a single point where I can change the time if I want, rather than changing each one individually.

Hopefully this is possible, and someone can point me in the right direction, simple language would be appreciated.

If you are speaking about independent apps you cannot silent their notifications unless you disable notifications in apps settings during the desired period of time (either with UI interaction actions or by sending Intents)

If it'd be OK to have all apps' notifications silenced during a particular time period, you could look into Android's "Do Not Disturb" function. It can be scheduled to go on and off at specific times.

Similarly, you could set up a MacroDroid macro to

• When the time period begins: save the current notification volume, then set your notification volume to 0
• When the time period ends, set the notification volume back to its saved value

Note that most Android phones bundle the notification and ringer volume together, so that macro will likely turn off your ringer as well. If that's a problem, you could try using the Notification > Set Notification Sound action to set the sound to "None", and then back to whatever sound you want.
