[Idea Sandbox] Time based profiles

[Laughing Man]

Along the same idea as a wifi-based profile that changes depending on the access point connected too, I was thinking how about a profile that changes based on what time it is. E.g. If you go to bed around 12, you can have the tablet automatically switch to the silent profile from 12AM to 7 AM. After 7 AM it would switch back to whatever profile you usually use.

We've been doing something like this with cron already and just silencing or unsilencing volume based on time. How hard would it be to use cron to cover switching profiles?

This has been suggested before (possibly in brainstorm too), regarding having calendar entries able to control profiles. Also, Shepherd might help with this.

Yes, this brainstorm (http://maemo.org/community/brainstorm/view/profile_scheduler_which_automatically_changes_im_s tatus/)is essentially about time-controlled profiles (and IM statuses).

Ah ok. Hmm there's no way for the topic creator to delete a thread..

I think you can only delete them if noone has made a reply. So, er, sorry about that!
