Customisation

Time – Changed by clicking the profile

Alarm Sound – Changed in the task Alarm, action #11

Star Sign – Change the text gem-in-eye to whatever you want the speech to try and say in action #9 of AlarmDayHoro. Change your star sign in the HTTP GET action #1 in the URL. You will also need to change the sign=# in the splitter as it turns out that each horoscope has a different number too. I'll put a list up of them all shortly, but in the mean time you'll have to look at the URL in a browser and spot your number please - Credit torsrex

Weather – go to this link and type your location in the search box. Click on it and note the code/extension of your local weather station in the URL. Change this in the HTTP GET server:Port field – mine is 03534. If you live in the US, you need to add in different information after auto/ical – the blog post #4 here gives you an example

Female – Feel free to rewrite the speech entries so they are flattering to a girl. Or alternatively, call me... and I’ll talk dirty to you, robot-style.

Snooze interval – Change the wait time in AlarmSnoozeTime to the snooze interval you wish. Change the value in AlarmSnoozeMaths, action #3 to display the correct 'snoozing-to-time'.

Pop-up Notifications - You can add your own background by clicking 'tools' in AlarmSnooze.

Bug/Issue Report

Keyguard/Lockscreen - The keyguard action set off (#3) in the task Alarm has been left in. You’ll need to add Keyguard, set on to action #7 in AlarmReset.

Please let me know how your device handles this and what lock you use

. I’ll see if I can put something in as standard.

Slow device/internet connection – I’m not sure how your device will handle the multiple HPPT GET actions and if consequently, this will delay other actions such as the %STIME maths.

No/failed data connection – SOLVED in V2

Yahoo News Headlines - Appear to have started adding 'non text' to their headlines since testing... damn.

Development/Requests

NHGoTD currently at request level 1!

If you have a better RSS feed for the above or any requests, please do let me know.

If you adapt this to use your own RSS topics, please do share to save others with the headache of %HTTPD splitting.

FAQ

Q) I like parts of this alarm, but not all of it. How do I change it just to suit me?

A) Instructions are written for you here

Q) I'm using your data sync profiles, can I combine these to start and stop the data connection before and after this task?

A) Absolutely, you can activate the data connection and then use any of the variables such as %WIFIOC or %WIFIORS to turn it off again, or leave it as it was. You could even make it that you only use this alarm when you are at home IF %WIFIHOME = 2 (reading %WIFIPREF).

Q) Why do you always transfer the %HTTPD data straight into another created variable?

A) Within the tasks, %HTTPD is populated with various different data. Transferring the data out of it as quick as possible prevents it being overwritten by a following HTTPGET task. We don't have to apply wait actions this way or confirm that one %HTTPD task has completed before another is allowed to start.

Q) I have many other Tasker questions, can I post them here??

A) To avoid clutter, probably best to use this official Google group

Q) Where can I learn more about Tasker?

A) The manual and Profiles and step-throughs on the Tasker wiki and you’ll be up to speed in no time.
