Now that you know all the commands, here's a quick scheduling example using Alarmed

When you run Alarmed and select "New event" button you get this "Add event" screen


We don't want an alarm, we want Alarmed to trigger mfakecaller to run at a certain time. So touch the button that currently says "Alarm" and change it from the drop down so it says "Command execution" instead


Also we don't want it to run "Every minute" so change the scheduling button to something else. You can choose a date or time, for testing let's choose "In.." from it's drop down. "In.. " sets a delay.


Once you've given your alarm a name and filled in a command your new alarm setup should look like this. Here, I'll get a call from best friend of opensource Steve Jobs in 5 seconds time - he's a very important man and he might sue me if I keep him waiting!


Simply hit "Save event" and in 5 seconds (or so) you should start feeling the familiar rumblings of mfakecaller starting up. Easy, right?



Because Alarmed saves your previous events, it keeps a list of them by name that you only need to go back into and trigger again when you need them. Think of them a little like fake call profiles, saves a lot of time filling them in
