Hi,
Sorry I have not read through all 37 pages of this thread so apologies if I have asked something already covered but...
We work varied hours (night shifts etc) and find ourselves forever setting different alarm times. I have just found this fantastic alarmed Application for my N900.
At this time of year we also have to continuously meddle with the central heating timer. I am going to make a little bit of Hardware to interface with the Central Heating such that I can send it cmds via ssh to set it on/off and desired temperature etc.
I wish to be able to get Alarmed to do both a standard alarm and a cmd line operation in one go so that I can set one alarm which wakes us up and kicks the heating into action. We generally snooze for 30 mins before getting up by which time the place should be nice and warm.
So really I just want to be able to make a dual function alarm, Is this possible?
Alternatively I could make a simple script that the cmd line option triggers which does both the central heating bit and triggers the alarm. But I cannot find out how to do this - I am aware it involves some dbus-send magic but cannot work out quite what.
