The purpose of this article is to collect a list of Alarmed codes for beginners to use. The idea came from a talk.maemo org thread which contained the instructions for setting up an Internet radio alarm clock
They should be put in the following format:
- Name
- Description
- Code
Which should be all the information we need.
List of Phone Control commands
A comprehensive list of commands for Phone Control that work as commands from Alarmed can be found at http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control
Radio1 Alarm Clock
This code will make your phone startup the N900 stock media player and connect to Radio 1 (UK station) using your wi-fi (wi-fi is recommended for connection to be made). It is a good idea to set up a regular alarm clock for 5 mins after just in case there is an internet connection error ... wouldn't want you to be late for work.

Play a sound file
This uses the play-sound command to play a sound file.
Important note: play-sound always plays a sound file at full volume, regardless of the use of the volume rocker. Therefore it is essential when calling a file with play-sound to be sure the file is recorded at the volume that is desired for playback. Typical sound files will be at the level of 0 or -3 dB attenuation, which can blow speakers at full volume. If you call a sound file with play-sound, it's best to make a new copy of the file at much lower volume using sound editing software such as GoldWave.
