Ajalkanen's posts seem to have evaporated but here's the response anyway:

Thanks. I think I'd describe it as 'timing a rule and setting it active by an alarm with a keyword as title'. That doesn't sound complicated at all, does it?

I guess it is a bit hard to explain even though the way it works is simple.

Thanks, I'm quite happy with it myself. I've had it running for 11 days straight, without any problems. Seems to work with the new beta, too.

I'm making another version which will set two rules. First one will be set 2 hours before the alarm and it will check if I'm on my wlan and if meecast says it's cold it'll turn on my car heating. The second one will work like the current one and checks if I'm on my wlan and if so, will wake up my computer and turn on some of my lights.

I really love all the opportunities ProfileMatic and scripts give us. If this isn't a smartphone, what is?

New to previous beta version:

- Action to launch applications (easy to use graphical interface instead of custom action)
- Optimization for idle condition with 0 timeout
- Scripting help: getRule(ruleId) to get a rule that matches the given ruleId
- Calendar fix (hopefully)... at least for me sometimes calendar did not load for the next day resulting in calendar conditions not working anymore after that.

I expect to release this version in 1-2 weeks unless feedback tells me otherwise. So let me know... I'm especially interested in how the launch application UI works. For me the applications are scanned fast enough that there is no problem, but perhaps I'm just not enough of an app person.

I have a fairly large amount of apps installed and they are loaded almost instantly. Seems to work too. Now I know that the nearest Alko is open for another hour and a half...

I haven't had any problems with the calendar rule in the previous version. Although I didn't have daily rules set up.

Idle rule seems to be snappier when set to 0 min.
