  3. Add an icon in the lower right corner

  4. Long press on your desktop and add a Shortcut > Task shortcut and select Add alarm (your new task)

2. Integrate Sleep with hueManic

You can use any of the Sleep as Android’s events in Tasker to start a service com.urbandroid.hue/.ProgramService with following extras:

to start a program

  • EXTRA_START

  • EXTRA_PROGRAM

to stop a program

  • EXTRA_STOP

EXTRA_PROGRAM needs to have one of the values:

  • DISCO, FIREPLACE, STORM, FIREWORKS, SEA, JUNGLE, TIBET, AURORA, SUNSET, RAINBOW

Example: See video tutorial here.

Tasker > Task > Add task > Choose a name > Plus button > System > Send intent

  • Package: com.urbandroid.hue
