Alerts & Time Skills¶
In a nutshell
These skills cover alarms, timers, reminders, the current date and time, and putting the assistant to sleep.
Alerts (Timers, Reminders & Alarms)¶
Installer default
A skill to manage alarms, timers, reminders, events and todos, with optional CalDAV sync for reminders, events, and todos (alarms and timers never sync). Handy if you want a hands-free alarm clock, kitchen timer, or todo list that survives a reboot and can sync with an external calendar.
Usage examples:
- What are my reminders?
- Cancel all reminders.
- When is my next alarm?
- Schedule a tennis event for 2 PM on friday spanning 2 hours.
-
What did I miss?
-
remind me to take out the trash weekday mornings at 7.
- Start a bread timer for 30 minutes.
- Did I miss any alerts?
- Set an alarm for 8 AM.
- Set a daily alarm for 8 AM.
