Open Strange behavior Tasker

I have a strange behavior in Tasker.
My environment is:

1) Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e with Android 9
2) Tasker 5.9.2
3) Motion Detector 3.5.7
4) Chrome 81.0.4404.138

What I wanted to do in Tasker is very simple:

- when the display has reached Screen timeout and gone to sleep ... it will wakeup when motion is detected ... which works OK with the Tasker Profile & Tasks & Scene I created.
- create Screen timeout in Tasker for how long the display will stay alive (which I did not in this case but used Android Screen timeout to test)

I set 30 sec in Settings/Display/Screen timeout and it shut down the display correctly after 30 sec ...
But after a motion was detected and the screen woke up ... then the screen was shut down after 5 sec every time ... and in Settings/Display/Screen timeout all the options (15 sec, 30 sec ... 10 min) were unchecked ... how is that possible?
When I disable Tasker the shutdown was correct every time according to Settings/Display/Screen timeout.
That maybe explained why I didn't get anything working in Tasker dealing with screen issues.
Here are my exported Profiles & Tasks:

Really appreciate help from Tasker experts ... I am totally lost.

 

I created a Task called 'Keep Screen' -> Display -> Display Timeout -> 1 min and then created a Profile
called 'App Keep Screen' -> Application -> Motion Detector, Chrome and linked to 'Keep Screen'.

Why I chose these apps is that when Motion Detector detects a motion (which work OK every time) then I display an URL with Chrome.
This is what happens:

1) After 1 min the screen goes dark.
2) Then I wake the display with a motion but it goes dark after 5 sec instead of 1 min ... that happens all the time.
3) But when I, after a motion, taps the screen then the display stays alive for 1 min and after that it goes into the 5 sec nightmare loop.

Got a feeling that my var %DISPLAYSTATE in 'Display State On' is not updated when Motion Detector detects a motion and activates the display ... can that be the case?

Down below you can see my exports:

This is Mission Impossible ... I have tested it endless times but I am lost.
I have attached log file and as you can see there is a 30 sec time gap (17.16.02->17.16.37)
but after that it never occurs ... only 5-8 sec when motion is detected and the screen goes dark.
My 'Display timeout' is 30 sec.
I have also attached my backup.xml ... maybe I missed something basic.
Hope you can tell me what is wrong.

 

I hadn't but now it is enabled (checked) ... still the same story.
Also rebooted the Samsung but it didn't help.
Is there any debug Tasker software I can run?

 

The other app is 'Motion Detector' and it detects a motion with the camera when the screen is off ... it wakes the display every time.
Problem is why Tasker is not keeping the screen alive for 1 min that I have specified ... shuts down after 5-8 sec
I sent you my backup.xml ... is there a chance that you can test it with 'Motion Detector' from Google Play on a tablet you have.
My project is very dependent that this works.

 

After testing & googling I think Tasker is not able to change Time out parameters for the display ...
Please correct me if I wrong

 

Hmm ... but I am when display goes on

OK ... this is what I did and what happened ...
1. In phone: Settings/Display/Screen timeout = 15 sec
2. In Tasker: Profile/DisplayOn/Display State On/Display Timeout = 5 min
When the screen went dark after 15 sec and was awaken by Motion Detector it stayed alive for 5-8 sec and then went dark ... this happened all the time.
3. When I checked in phone: Settings/Display/Screen timeout ... now it had changed from initially 15 sec to 5 min !!!
Apparently Tasker had done that but the phone ignored the new settings done by Tasker ... something is weird

 

FYI ...
I installed SETEDIT from Play to check the value of 'screen_off_timeout'.
The I ran two different test - one with Tasker disabled - one with Tasker enabled.

Taker disabled:

1) In 'Settings/Dislay/Screen timeout' I set to 15 sec
2) The display shutdown occured after 15 sec first time ... OK
3) When I woke the display its shutdown occured after 15 sec ... OK
4) In SETEDIT the value of 'screen_off_timeout' was 15000 ms = 15 sec
5) In 'Settings/Dislay/Screen timeout' was still 15 sec
So it seems that without Tasker it behaves as expected.

Taker enabled:

1) In 'Settings/Dislay/Screen timeout' I set to 15 sec
2) In Tasker I set 'Display Timeout' to 1 min
2) The display shutdown occured after 15 sec first time ... OK
3) When the display woke up due to a motion was detected ... its shutdown occured after 5-7 sec ... not OK
4) In SETEDIT the value of 'screen_off_timeout' was changed by Tasker to 60000 ms = 1 min ... OK
5) In 'Settings/Dislay/Screen timeout' was also changed to 1 min ... OK
So both SETEDIT & 'Settings/Dislay/Screen timeout' shows the correct values ... why is screen shut down after 5-7 sec???
