Hi All,
+
The purpose of this article is to collect a list of [http://maemo.org/packages/view/alarmed/ Alarmed] codes for beginners to use. The idea came from a [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=64519 talk.maemo org thread] which contained the instructions for setting up an [[#Radio1 Alarm Clock|Internet radio alarm clock]]
-
I thought it would be a great idea to power up the usability of Alarmed for novice users (such as myself). I am a (I hate this word) 'noob' and I really dont have the time to start learning linux/commands etc so am hoping that the power users here can help us 'noobs' and chuck in a few of their codes they use to make the N900 even better than it already is.

I use Alarmed but at the moment I have only 3 timed functions:
+
-
*Switch to silent just before I get to work (built in function)
+
-
*Switch to geral profile just after I leave work (built in function)
+
-
*Turn streaming Radio 1 on at 7:00am so my N900 is, in effect a radio alarm clock (command execution)
+
-
The latter one I was able to get working as someone posted the code for this function to work on maemo thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=64519 otherwise I would never have got this by myself.

So the purpose of this wiki.maemo page is if you have some brilliant codes that you use/would work on Alarmed please post them here and hopefully we will get an awesome list of codes that will power up our N900's without having to wait for apps to be created by the fantastic power users!!

==Radio1 Alarm Clock==

This code will make your phone startup the [[Nokia N900|N900]] stock media player and connect to Radio 1 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.

I will start off with the Radio alarm clock one I use.

Radio1 Alarm Clock

This code will make your phone startup the N900 stock media player and connect to Radio 1 using your wi-fi (wi-fi is recommended for connection to be made).
