As libiphb is not guaranteed to be accurate, I set the Insomniac to wake up a few seconds before I need the alarm to trigger, then start a Timer. You could do the same: Wake up, check time and start a normal Timer. Or am I missing something? -- Med venlig hilsen / Best Regards Thomas Tanghus _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
