    Hello!
    Is this possible?

    What I have is AOD ON by notification receive and OFF by either notifications gone or by dispplay turn on.
    AOD itself is hidden by power button or double tap.

    What I want to do is hide AOD on single tap or swipe. Can this or similar be achieved?

    Thank you!

    Check the Any Sensor event in the Tasker beta and see if your device has a sensor for that :) I know my Pixel 3 does!

    Thank you! I tried Palm Sensor, but it worked inside the poket and to just any screen covering.

    It worked with "Touch Proximity Sensor", 1000, Throttle.
    Now It react to long press. But it also reakst to unpress (after this press) - can I eliminate this?

    Also, are settings above ok? Will they not drain the battery? Or can you suggest better method?

    Maybe you can use Debounce instead of throttle? Does that work better?

    Unfortunately, no. I've tried all 4 methods and I always get 2 calls, sometimes 1 right after untouching screen, sometimes after delay.
    I wanted to make "switch", like, enabling AOD on 1-second-touch-and-hold and disabling on another and could not achieve this.

    Well, thank you anyway, disabling on touch is already great!

    Maybe you can check the event data variable so that you know which of the gestures it was? :) Maybe that contains what you need.

    Thanks for advice, but tried that and as_values() for "Touch Proximity Sensor" returns 5.0 on screen off and 4.0 on both touch and untouch (with screen off).
    Also, "Palm Proximity Sensor" always returns 0.0.
