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]]

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 in the [[phone control]] article.

==Radio1 Alarm Clock==

This code will make your phone startup the [[Nokia N900|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 (or audacity on Linux+Mac+Windows, or 'sox' on the command line for any of those systems with "-v <ratio>" option)
 play-sound ''/path/filename.wav''

-==Internet Radio Alarm Clock using KMPlayer==
-If you have KMPlayer installed, you may find it less prone to halting from buffering issues than the stock Media Player.  Add this as a Command Execution string in Alarmed to play an internet radio stream's URL (in this case, the stream for WCLV):
- /opt/kmplayer/bin/kmplayer http://auggie.wclv.com/wclvmp3
-==Set Speaker Volume==
-You may want to set the speaker volume to a certain level before starting an internet radio station.  50 in the command below sets the volume level to 50%, replace 50 with whatever % volume is desired (0 - 99).
