I would have to have it set on 3 tries or I'd end up with a lot of pics of myself with weird faces.
You should make it send the pic to the MMS thread
Would be some awesome pics IMHO.That could be done
Im messing around with tasker to see if i can set an alarm remotely somehow.
Like when im at work and i learn i have a 9am meetings, id like to be able to message my phone somehow from a pc or sms (google voice via the pc) and have it set an alarm for earlier than i would normally wake up.
He works in a secure facility and does not have access to his phone during work.Why remotely? I just tell my phone: Turn alarm on in (insert # of mins/hrs, etc): or Turn alarm on at: (insert time)

I don't think it can interface with the actual Android alarm. So you'd probably have to build the 'alarm' inside Tasker which is easy enough to do.
You would probably need two profiles.
1. Read the SMS, parse out the text into variables, pass the time to profile 2 and enable it.
2. When xx:xx time rolls around, play music, then disable the profile
Seems an interesting idea tho. Gonna flesh this out and see what I can come up with.
Thats what im seeing too, android alarms are surprisingly hard to work with.
I may end up just coding a new alarm app. Itll be ugly, but functional.
You don't need the whole app. You just need Tasker to play music or noise at a certain time. That's easy.
Building off the alarm thing, ive been working on streamlining my alarm process.
My alarm is at a different time every morning. I hit a button before i go to bed (or more accurately, 6 buttons right now, i would like to hit a single button), that calculates my ideal sleep time and wakes me up at the end of a 90 minute sleep cycle.
It sounds like BS, but i wake up so much more refreshed if my alarm isnt going off in the middle of a sleep cycle, it really works.
I think there are already apps for that. How do you do that now? I mean, do you just do the math from the time you go to bed?
