AutoAlarm 1.6.3

AutoAlarm offers users the ability to anticipate the timing of their next system alarm and integrate this functionality within Tasker. This plugin serves as a valuable tool for those looking to enhance their alarm experience.

An interesting application of AutoAlarm is highlighted by Andreas Ødegård, who utilizes it to simulate a personal sunrise. His approach involves gradually illuminating his room prior to the actual alarm, as detailed in his SLEEP MODE guide available at this link.

It is essential to note that Tasker must be installed for AutoAlarm to function effectively, as it does not appear on the home screen or app drawer; instead, it operates solely as a Tasker plugin.

For users interested in setting up AutoAlarm, a video tutorial is available that demonstrates the quick setup process. The video illustrates how to access information about the time remaining until the next alarm and emphasizes that various Tasker actions can be utilized with this alarm data. Here are the variables compatible with AutoAlarm:

• Absolute values:
  • %day
  • %month
  • %year
  • %hour
  • %minute
  • %second
• Times to next alarm:
  • %milis
  • %seconds

• String variables:
  • %raw (displays the time as reported by the system, e.g., "Sun 14:00")

Additionally, it is crucial to be aware that if there is an error in retrieving the next alarm, this information will be contained within the %error variable.

It has been reported by several users that the app may not function correctly with certain language settings. Users are encouraged to utilize the default Android alarm app for optimal compatibility.
