Restart alarm after completion #184

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

Is it possible to restart an alarm after it completed? To make it run in infinite loop.

joh commented 5 years ago

Yes, alarms can be repeated daily. There's a "Repeat" option in the settings for each alarm.

ghost commented 5 years ago

Not repeat on daily but after the completion. Meaning: after the countdown reached zero, or certain time mark, it sounds the alarm and restarts itself to be counted from zero again.

Care to read the question before assuming what it asking?

This kind of attitude will get you nowhere. Your question said "alarm", hence my response regarding alarms. From your second comment it seems you are talking about "timers", in which case the answer is no, it's not possible to repeat a timer.

Maybe my previous message sounds rude. I'm sorry about that.

But I thought my question is clear enough to not make a confusion? There was clearly stated: restart an alarm (in my mind, I presume, a timer is just a part of alarm) after it's completed. There was nothing asked regarding something on daily basis. Or more "schematically": The alarm (with the timer) is completed? => Restart it. (to make it run indefinitely)

There are two types of alarms: "alarm clock" and "timer". For "alarm clock" type alarms it is possible to set a repeat schedule. This would cause such alarms to "restart" according to the set schedule, e.g. daily. For "timer" type alarms, this is not possible unfortunately.
