Alarm "clock"

[admin]

1/1/1 = time object
1/1/2 = output object

delta / 10 controls how smooth the transition is, 10 means 10 * 100 seconds to get from 0% to 100%.

Note that this will not work correctly if alarm is set very close to after midnight.

This can either be a resident or a scheduled script, depending how long the final transition is.

Code:

1234567891011121314151617

function getoffset(t)   return t.hour * 3600 + t.min * 60 + t.sec end now = os.date('*t') now = getoffset(now) set = grp.getvalue('1/1/1') set = getoffset(set) if now <= set then   delta = set - now   val = math.floor(100 - delta / 10)   if val > 0 then     grp.write('1/1/2', val)   end end
