Help set some kind of alarm/play sound at exact time

[dalanik]

Hello,

hoping someone can help, I'm stuck; let me explain what I'm trying to do. I use SMS to pay for my public transport ticket. When I send SMS to a certain number, I get reply with TICKET, stating how long (until what time) my ticket is valid. The goal is to get the time from SMS (not time recived but time as a string in SMS body!) and set some alarm to that particular time.

Now, I have managed to make event, parse the SMS and get the time in 2 variables - let's call them %SMShour and %SMSminute. I can see by using Flash command the variables really contain hr/min. I need to use this time and set some SOUND to alert me when my ticket expires.

What I tried:

* tried setting alarm - doesn't work because I have SGN71000 which has own time/alarm app (I suppose)

then I tried to use

* wait until %TIME = %SMShour:%SMSmin

but this also waits forever....

* wait until %TIME ~ %SMShour:%SMSmin

does the same.

any ideas how to set a sound to be played at %SMShour:%SMSmin time?

Thanx!

Tasker formats the time using a period to separate hours and minutes, so it's 11.30 and not 11:30

Try a wait until %TIME ~ %SMShour.%SMSmin
