This would also be very useful. Actually, my next suggestion would have been something like this. Maybe still keep the alarms in the "application","clock" -domain, if it's possible from another application. My reasoning for this is that you have all the alarms
 (not calendar events etc.) in the same place where they can be seen and enabled/disabled. I haven't got a clue if any of this is actually possible or if alarms set from other applications than the clock would show up in the clock UI...

Another action from this could be to also cancel or replace an alarm.

Yes. I use my phone every morning as an alarm clock. I'm usually the first one up and I'd like my phone to do stuff when I wake up, like switch the profile to ringing, turn on a light and maybe wake up my computer. The trouble with this is that I don't go to work at the same time every day. So I use a recurring alarm that is always the same name but I change the enabled/disabled state and/or time the previous evening.

As I wrote that, I realised that maybe the action could be the answer. I could maybe have an NFC tag that would set an alarm (and other stuff) for the next morning. Picking the time would be a problem, though... hmm. I'm starting to ramble.

I wonder how other people use alarms on the N9? I have to give this some more thought.

Thanks for your time,

slarti

That's what I'd like also, but I have not looked at this in detail at all yet, let alone experiment. But the couple posts you've provided with information about the D-Bus API is great help when I start.

I have pretty much the same use case as yourself, except that for me the children act as an alarm clock. Perhaps how I've set this up might help on current ProfileMatic version:

basically I put my phone to flight mode + power saving during night to preserve battery. But since the time I go to sleep varies a lot, I've done it with time + idle condition. So between 21 - 08 my phone goes to power saving + flight mode (with restore previous) when phone has been idle for 1h. When I wake up, first thing I do is (naturally) say hello to my loved N9. This exits power saving + flight mode which connects to my home WiFi. My morning wake up rule is then from 6:00 - 8:00 when I'm connected to wifi, and it does whatever actions I want when waking up.

Sounds more complex than it is by the multitude of words I used.

I had my natural alarm clocks wake me in the summer, too but now my kids sleep later than I do because there isn't much light in the morning.

Your method is almost better because it won't execute the commands until I actually touch the phone. This would allow for a snooze or two. Or maybe it's worse just because of that...

Nothing better than a snoozing session! Though I suspect that the phone would exit idle mode once snooze button was hit. Ah, but I guess turning phone up-side down does the trick also.

Is it possible to change audio volume? It seams to affect volume of the alerts I use to wake - or at least try ;-).

That is something I've wanted to do for awhile also, I just haven't gotten around to it.

So yes, it will come but I'm not sure when.

Hey there I've been a fan of Profilematic for a while now, but as of late (don't remember which update, I think 1.6 but can't be sure) it hasn't been working for me. Whenever I first set up a rule, it works the first day. But, after a day none of the rules continue to work.

As an example, my rules are as follows:
Silent when 09:30 - 10:45 Tue, Thurs
Silent when 17:00 - 17:50 Tue, Thurs
Silent when 15:00 - 15:50 Mon, Wed, Fri

I set these up yesterday (Thursday) and it worked for both rules, but today (Friday) the final rule did not end up working.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the application several times. I also recently did a Comprehensive reset reflash of my device to see if this would fix the issue, but it did not.

Looking through this thread, I've seen at least one other person reporting this happening to them too, but haven't seen a fix for it. I saw you were asking for someone with this issue to do some testing and I would be more than happy to do this, I'm just not sure what all to do. Sorry if a fix has already been found for this, this is a long thread

Edit: lucky post #777, what do i win?

Yes, there has not been a fix as there hasn't been testers. But it's great that you seem to get this issue so often, so perhaps we can test and find a fix.

I would like you to run ProfileMatic background task from terminal, so that I can get the logs when it fails to do the rule.

Do this in terminal:
Code:
~ $ devel-su
~ # /sbin/initctl stop apps/profilematicd
~ # exit
~ $ /opt/profilematic/bin/profilematicd
Then when the problem occurs, send me what is in the terminal. Let me know if you need more instructions.

To celebrate the 777th post, I will try to fix this problem :-P. But it requires you to do a couple more of posts .

Do you think Profilematic would ever be able to use this time picker? http://va-sorokin.blogspot.co.il/201...an-native.html

Yes, I'm quite certain it will be included. It's been on my "things to do" list for a long while as I hate the current time picker. But it's also one of those "low priority" tasks that I've delayed tackling in favor of new requested features.
