Alarms Reminders & Timers
Description
This custom sentence allows for an on demand call to create and list alarms, reminders and timers. While this intial version is fully functional, I do not take any responsibility if this makes you late for work, forget to buy your wife flowers, or if your eggs get overcooked. There's your warning and my escape clause!
Usage
Use your wakeword and say things like:
- Set a timer for 2 minutes
- Start an egg time for 3 minutes
- List my timers
- Remind me to wash the dog at 3pm
- Set a reminder to take the food out of the over in 30 minutes
- Cancel my egg timer
- Set an alarm for 4pm
Requirements
- View: Alarm view
Installation
- This blueprint is included by default in the View Assist integration.
- Find and upload a sound to play when the timer expires.
- Any valid mp3 file should work. Place the file in /config/www/viewassist/. You may have to create the 'viewassist' subdirectory.
- In the Alarm Sound Path blueprint field, enter either
http://your-HA-IP:your-HA-Port/local/viewassist/your-alarm.mp3or/local/viewassist/your-alarm.mp3. - Still need help? See the Stream Assist video where I discuss how to find these and where to upload.
Tips
- The mp3 file is played repeatedly to create the alarm sound. When you press the dismiss button, the mp3 file will complete its current repeat before stopping, so choose a short (1-2 second) mp3 if you want the sound to stop quickly after pressing dismiss.
