Alarm clock app

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi,

I am a new fenix 3 user who unfortunately lags heavy with development skills :(

But I am experiencing the urgent need to add multiple alarms to the fenix 3 and maybe a smart wake up app.

I don't want to double post thats why I post the stack exchange link here:

If anyone of you might code this or help me getting started I would be incredible thankful :)

Best

You could have an app for this BUT it would always have to run in the foreground. When you leave an app in CIQ, the app stops and goes away.

One workaround is to use the clock on your cellphone and allow clock notifications to go to your F3. It's not an "alarm" put you'll see when the alarm goes off (as long as your cell is at hand).

And for a "smart wakeup", what would you want to base that on? in CIQ you can't get raw accelerator data (for movement), and I doubt you want the HRM on all night (I'll bet it's a good battery drain)

Hi jim_m_58,

thanks a lot for your reply and your insides :)

I basically have no problem when the app is in foreground during the sleep. Fitbit and other services had a smiliar workaround. On their devices you pressed a key for a longer time and the worn band was in "sleep" mode.

I imagine the use case as follows:

You go to bed => select the "alarm clock watch app" enter the times you want to wake up and go to sleep.
I don't need any other function during the night. MAYBE we can even mute all the iOS notifications during this time ;)

Then the app is in the foreground and the first alarm goes off => to snooze 5min I hit the up button, to stop the alarm I leave the watch app.

Thats the basic idea.

Optional: we use the same method as the vivosmart and other sleep trackers from garmin. Maybe we can get a raw amount of "movement" and say if this increases wake him up before the alarm. Otherwise right on time when the alarm is set.

The second this is completely optional but the first thing, do you think it would be possible and hard to code?

Thanks for your help :)

Hello Tischer.s

Did you manage to create this app? I'm a fullstack developer and I have had the same idea for years but starting with Monkey C is pretty hard.
