App to turn on screen

Hi guys, is there such an app that can turn my screen on periodically for a second then turn off again? I would like to set it to come on every 25 mins.
I'm sure many will wonder why I want such a feature so here is why. I have a security software installed that forces me to use a password to unlock the screen. (lets not get into why its there or why I don't uninstall it. long story, not relevant)
I am limited to what settings I can change(Yes it is my personal phone)
I went to settings to the screen lock option and changed the phone to lock after 30 mins of inactivity. This is the longest I can select. I cannot select to disable it as the security software prevents it. If I wake the phone, the 30 min timer starts again but I would like to have an app that can wake it every 25 mins for a second to force
 
Yes ... you can turn off the screen on an un-root-ed device with Tasker. I no of no way to turn it on.

Another consideration ...
When working on the Turbo the maximum timeout was 10min and was constantly annoying me. A simple Tasker task changed the timeout to one hour. My phone is un-root-ed.

... Thom
