Alarm Clock with Snooze

This is another way to implement an Alarm Clock utility using Tasker. It includes a pop up with buttons allowing you to snooze or cancel the alarm, optionally opening an application (i.e. notes)

List of Features:

  • Set any sounds file from the SD card as the alarm
  • Easy UI with snooze and cancel buttons
  • Includes a specified volume for the alarm
  • No additional application necessary

To achieve this we need 1 profile consisting of 1 context and 1 task, this also utilises 2 additional tasks so in total we will be creating 3 tasks.

The profiles are:

  • Alarm time with alarm task

The tasks are:

  • Alarm … To sound the clock
  • Snooze … To snooze the alarm
  • Cancel … To end the alarm

STEP 1 … Create 'Cancel' task

  • Go to tasks and create a new one named 'Cancel'
  • Action 1 … Music Stop
  • Action 2 … (OPTIONAL) Load App
  • Action 3 … Notify 'Alarm Off'
  • Action 4 … Notify Cancel 'Alarm Off'

STEP 2 … Create 'Snooze' task

  • Action 1 … Music Stop
  • Action 2 … Notify 'Alarm Snoozed'
  • Action 3 … Notify Cancel 'Alarm Snoozed'
  • Action 4 … Wait '# minutes and/or seconds'
  • Action 5 … Perform Task 'Alarm'

STEP 3 … Create profile and 'Alarm' task

  • Make a time context for when you want the alarm to be active 'i.e. 06:30 to 07:00'
  • Make a new task 'Alarm'
  • Action 1 … Media Volume '# between 0 & 15'
  • Action 2 … Music Play 'Audio File off SD Card of your choice'
  • Action 3 … Popup Task Names, Text 'Alarm Options', Task 1 'Snooze', Task 2 'Cancel', 'Centre Text'

STEP 4 … Finalise

  • Apply the changes
  • Go back into Tasker and test if you wish

Well thats what I came up with, I hope it all works!
