Hi,

As far as i know there is currently no abstract way to "set an alarm" using the
RTC to wake the pc up at a given time.

There are low-level options like writing directly into
/sys/class/rtc/rtc0/wakealarm or slightly less lower level by using systemd
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.timer.html.

These options, while they work, are too low level to be really useful for an
user application.

A usecase i'm thinking of is an application like KAlarm, they have to go
through the hoops of writing to the rtcwake command:
https://cgit.kde.org/kalarm.git/tree/src/rtcwakeaction.cpp They have to ask
permission (as you need root to do that) making it all just not as user
friendly as it should be.

Therefore i'm requesting a feature in solid to set a "wakeAlarm" (or "rtcwake"
or some other logical name) based on a ISO 8601 time string. 


Cheers,
Mark
