Topic: Decent Clock/Alarm?

I am new to the chumby so excuse my ignorance if possible. I was browsing the current widgets and looked over all the clocks and found nothing worth while. I was wondering if someone was in the process of making an clock that supports maybe 2-3 alarms with day support (IE 1 alarm to go off at 7am on weekdays only and 9am on weekends)? It would be nice to maybe see the time (12 hour please!) date in any format with a day of the week and the current alarm status. Also if an alarm could use mp3s if possible for wake up it would be sweet. Please let me know.

You might want to check out the "Beta Software" section of the forum.

Re: Decent Clock/Alarm?

pyrodex,

Just so you understand, this functionality is built into the Beta Control Panel. No widgets needed to set the alarm. I beleive you can set as many custom alarms as you like. If you put the unit into Night mode, the screen will dim really low and and  show a clock in 12hr format with the next scheduled alarm shown on the bottom. You can have the alarm play either one of three built in sounds, play a streaming radio station, play an mp3 of your choice or do some other silent action like change channel or wake up from night mode.

I think just about all of the things you've asked for are currently covered. ;-)
