    Hello everyone,

    With all the visual bling available to the CTC and HomeGate, what about _alarm_ sounds?

    I would like to be able to set different alarm sounds for different alarm events... for example: 'whistle' to feed the dogs; 'posties whistle' to remember to get the mail etc. Pavlov's German Shepherd and Labrador, have been taught to remind we busy householders that it's time for them to eat when the CTC 'whistles'. Problem: the garbage, newspaper, mail and another half dozen other alarm reminders have my dogs sitting impatiently in front of the CTC when the pool needs chlorine! etc...

    Is there any way to either:
    1. Change the alarm sound using logic at the time of an alarm event or;
    2. Emulate the alarm function (activate -> snoze -> cancel) using logic to allow use of the 'execute [play wav file]'

    Alternatively, if it proven by popular vote, in a future PICED /HomeGate release, would it be possible to assign a string type, settable Builtin Sys IO variable "alarmsoundfile" that points to a subdir that contains the sonic bling files (!)

    Thanks and Regards,

    Peter
