Setting a once only alarm.

Useful macro to avoid flooding Alarm app with useless events once they expire.

It generates an event in the Alarm app and it disappears from its list of events once date/time is reached (unless you modify it in the app before expiration).

You can plan an event entering its optional label and time. This time can be within next 24 hours (common case) or 1 to 4 days ahead.

i love this macro, used it in uncommon times, works flawless, even more than one timer works.

i embedded this macro as a sidebutton in the clock app and used it several times.

good job.

Thanks you very much.

I'm also using it quite often... 😉

Enjoy!

here is a preview of the button:Button.jpg
it only apears, if alarm clock is selected, so it doesn't disturb on the other functions. looks almost like an in-app button.

is this like a sidebar, similar to the windows taskbar?
i am not familiar with this, because i don't see a current personal usecase, but good to know, if i want to a quick access tool in the future.

I find MD drawer convenient to launch a macro without leaving the app you are on.

To not visualy interfere on the screen, I set an opacity of 0% on a narrow band wide enough to comfortably swipe vertically (up or down).

Attached:
- In MD home screen, configuration screenshot of the bar (with a height not interfering with the keyboard when displayed)
- A couple of Actions to insert at boot time (or any time you need to (re)initialize MD drawer bar)

hello, late here, how did you do it? thanks in advance !
its quite comlexe.
to achieve this i used to the basic module and 3 more macros.

1 macro 'clock button' for the button icon, which displays, when activated. 1 macro 'clockstart' when the macro button should be activated and 1 macro 'clockend' when the macro button should be disabled.

Here's my last update of the AlarmOnce macro with:
- display of the day of week when selecting +n days ahead (much easier to clearly select the right option up to 6 days ahead)
- some minor improvements.

Enjoy!
