Re: [SlimDevices: Touch] Some details about touch alarm possibilities

Touch has it's own speaker for acknowledging input button presses.
I wonder if that couldn't be used for alarm fallback?

On the Squeezebox Radio, if you have it set for internet radio and for
some reason it can't access the required channel, an alarm tone will
sound instead just to make sure you don't snore on.

Anybody knows if there is the same backup function on the Touch. As
it has no built-in
speakers (or at least it's not clearly stated on the official page) it
could be difficult. Maybe backup
alarm is set to read first available stuff on the SD Card or wherever?

Thanks for your first replies !

Basically all the devices are roughly the same:

Can have multiple alarms that can be set for various times.
Each alarm can be set to repeat or be a once-off alarm.
Repeating alarms can be scheduled to repeat on specified days of the
week.
Alarms can be set to play internet radio streams, local music files,
playlists, special sound effects (such as an alarm sound...), etc
etc...
Alarms can fade in (instead of starting at full blast).  Does so over a
short interval.
Alarms can be snoozed  (can specify interval).
Alarm continues for 90min (can make it shorter).

Also alarms can be set on your local server or on mysb.com, so alarms
should go off even if your server is down.  On the SB3 (not Touch or
Radio) alarm won't go off if both server and internet connection are
down.  With the Radio or Boom it can still go off.  Probably the Touch
(as it is similar to the radio) too but not sure.

[SlimDevices: Touch] Some details about touch alarm possibilities

2009-11-08 Thread massman

Hi There, 

First post for me ! I red a lot of discussions on the Touch but i'm
still wondering if it will have some good or basic alarm clock
functions. 
I know it's not the first objective of this device but I would like to
replace my current room sound system (basically made of an old Hifi set 
and an Ipod alarm clock) by the Touch and a nice hifi speakers. 

I think it can be much better than current installation and could
perfectly fit my needs (got a NAS server plugged 24/24 ready to deliver
the 
best of my music to the Touch).

I guess it will have the same possibilities than the Squeezebox Radio
(that I can not use because it has no line-out !), but wanted to check
out 
with you (if someone could give detailed features of alarm system,
would be great)

Thanks !
