==List of Phone Control commands==

A comprehensive list of commands for Phone Control that work as commands from Alarmed can be found in the [[phone control]] article.

==Radio1 Alarm Clock==

This code will make your phone startup the [[Nokia N900|N900]] stock media player and connect to Radio 1 (UK station) using your wi-fi (wi-fi is recommended for connection to be made). It is a good idea to set up a regular alarm clock for 5 mins after just in case there is an internet connection error ... wouldn't want you to be late for work.

==Play a sound file==

This uses the play-sound command to play a sound file.

'''Important note:  play-sound always plays a sound file at full volume, regardless of the use of the volume rocker.'''  Therefore it is essential when calling a file with play-sound to be sure the file is recorded at the volume that is desired for playback.  Typical sound files will be at the level of 0 or -3 dB attenuation, which can blow speakers at full volume.  If you call a sound file with play-sound, it's best to make a new copy of the file at much lower volume using sound editing software such as GoldWave.
