Not sure if this has been mentioned before. Since the app allows to open an app after a certain condition has been detected, how about closing an app as per a specific condition? Like, open wazzap when connected to a specifc WLAN, then close wazzap when the WLAN is disconnected.
So you will have to use Custom action and killall processname to achieve closing applications.

Now I think the remaining problems are solved:

Only downside to this is that if you set an alarm with PM and define a "non-standard" snooze, disable the alarm in clock thus "transferring ownership" to the clock and then try modify it there without picking a "standard" snooze, the clock app crashes on save.
I think that this is going to be quite rare and I would really like the option to be there. It would make it possible to, for example, have an 8 min + 8 min timer rule. The PM alarm does get deleted when stop is pressed even after a snooze. Maybe warn about this?

I see that the sound attribute is now UNDEFINED if not set in PM and the sound seems to always default to "Clock 1.mp3". It doesn't follow the clock's default anymore? Is that what was causing it not being disablable (is that a word?)?
This doesn't seem to cause similar crashing in the clock app. Instead, "Clock 1.mp3" is always picked.

I tried:
- alarm in 1 minute
- default sound
- snooze 8 minutes
- used "Run rule's actions"
- disabled from clock application
- changed the time to couple minutes later
- saved
No crash.

Was a "not" missing in that sentence? Because I just noticed that in the new version, even after pressing "Stop" the alarm is not deleted from clock application. It just becomes inactive. I think in the previous version it was really deleted.
This is not a huge thing for me personally, as activating the alarm again does not create a new entry but instead the old one is reused.
But this definitely requires some testing, as I worry a bit that in some scenarios the alarm might be duplicated (ie. many entries with same title in clock application) which would not be nice.

I'm not sure I understand.

Yes... missing "sound" attribute caused the alarm to be undisablable (not sure that's a word either). It's unfortunate that it doesn't use the default now, but I think this is the lesser of two evils. One can always explicitly define the alarm sound.

Actually, it isn't enough to change the time. You have to go to "more options" in the clock and try to save without picking the snooze time. So not likely to happen. I think this is very close to perfect.

True. Now that I tested with clock application closed, it is deleted. Probably the clock application does something when it detects a new alarm, and it prevents it from getting deleted. Not a huge issue as the same alarm seems to be reused if the parameters stay the same.

Anyway, I guess this is just something that have to be accepted. Thanks!
