instantaneous continuous alarm ?

Post by svenster » 10 Jun 2014 12:30

Hi. I have certain SMS messages for which I want an instantaneous continuous alarm ( when the trigger happens). I see the "Sound" and "Set Alarm" actions, but I cannot make the former continuous and the latter at the current time. Any other ideas ?

I should add that setting Sound Type to Alarm doesn't make the sound continuous despite what settings I try. The Alarm Sound chosen during the configuration of the action plays continuously, but when the flow executes the sound plays once.

Hi Sven,

You could create an edless loop to repeatedly execute action Sound, something like this:
-trigger ...
-action Sound (check Wait for sound to finish)
-action Sleep: 1s

Drag the (+)-icon of the sleep-action back to the sound-action which creates an endless loop. You can also select the connections and adjust the start/end-points of the connection to make the loop look nicer.

Regards,
Martin
