Turn a light on when SMS is received

For the Tasker + SharpTools approach, it is similar to this post but use Phone: Received Text as the event:

How can I make a light flash when the cell phone rings?

It’s fairly straightforward with Tasker and SharpTools if you decide to go that route. I’ll post a video when it’s done uploading, but the gist of it is: Create a new Tasker Event profile for Phone → Ringing Create a For loop that loops through the items 1:6 (or however many times you want to toggle the light) In the loop add a Plugin → SharpTools: A Thing configured to toggle your desired light In the loop add a Wait for 1 second (or however quickly you want the light to toggle)
