Comment on Remind: A sophisticated calendar and alarm program

Comments

At 6am every day I run a script that dumps the scheduled events for the day out of remind. If there are any events the script:

* Makes a unique noise on the house announcement system.

* Sends me an email with the events.

* Sends me a SMS with the events.

My long term events archive is just the reminders file which I have never bothered to truncate. It's got easy to search stuff in there from decades ago.

Please tell us more!

Just some speakers hooked to an amplifier which is plugged into a computer audio output jack.

With Home Assistant (or even Apple HomeKit Shortcuts) it's relatively trivial.

People dump on Apple/HomeKit (deservedly!), but only because there is so much untapped potential!
