Topic: Backup alarms

I know our Chumby's use to have backup alarms but now I can't find it.   We're the backup alarms moved or taken out?

Re: Backup alarms

Nothing has changed with alarms.  The appearance of "backup" alarms in the alarm configuration wizard depends upon what else you've configured.  For instances, a non-audio alarm will not offer a backup.

Re: Backup alarms

I can confirm that my C1 offers a "backup alarm" when I configure a custom alarm with audio.

Re: Backup alarms

I still don't see it.  I have tried setting my alarm to Pandora, My Streams and the "gong" sound, but I never get any option for the backup alarm.

Re: Backup alarms

It should be the next screen after 'Set duration: How long should the alarm sound?' What screen do you see after the 'Set duration' screen?

Re: Backup alarms

I don't have it on my C8.  I don't even get the "how long should the alarm sound" screen.  My Chumby Classic, however, does have it.

Plus I also found this....

Yes, I remember this.  The C8 and I8 as a C8 did not have backup alarms.  There was a bit of talk of this back then.

It never got rectified.   Hmmmmmmm

My C8, I8/C8 do not have this
My C1 does
