Alexa alarm to create event

[skatun (Kim Skatun)]

Personally, as a programmer, I’m allergic to polling. So what I would do is trigger a Rule when the DateTime Item changes, at System started, and a tad after midnight. In this Rule, I’d set a Timer to go off one hour before the DateTime to turn on the heater.

How do you set a timer to go off? In the rule:

rule "alarm Tracker" when
System started or alexa_Bedroom_nextAlarm changed then
 how to set the timer?
 timer goes off then vTimeOfday.postupdate("PREHEAT")
end

end then of course I have a seperate heating rule that tracks changes of time of day…
