Item for list of dynamic items

[yesennes (Luke Senseney)]

Hey everyone,

I’ve made a DIY smart lamp (homie MQTT), and I would like to get it to wake me up by slowly turning on in the mornings. Ideally, I would like a display on openHab much like an alarm app on a phone, with a scrollable list of alarms, a new alarm button and a couple of options for each alarm.

I’m new to openHab, but looking at items, rules etc, it seems like most concept apply to a fix number of items, not an expanding list, but I easily could have missed something.

How to do you think would be best to implement this?

Also, if there isn’t a good way to implement this, do you think it’s something people would want? I’m a developer, and if I and others want it, I would think about extending openHab.

Thanks,
Luke

When the alarm is triggered the light (using a dimmer) will slowly increase its intensity. Once it reached 100% (or more), the alarm has finished. I’ve only used it one night, so probably some bugs, but could give you an idea how to use it. wakeup.items Group WakeUpAlarm Number WakeUpHour "Wake up hour…

A Smart Alarm Clock using an old smartphone

Hi guys, I wanted just share with the community my small effort to get a smart alarm clock. I have implemented in OH an alarm workflow based on this example, so I can set up an alarm time and based on that timing and some offset values I can schedule some actions, f.i. switch-on heaters 30 minutes before the alarm time or switch-on an ambiance light at alarm time and switch-off the light after 10 minutes and in the same time switch-on the squeezebox tuned on my favorite radio station and other …
