I also happen to have a Jolla Phone which i really like.
We have 2 means of alarms: An app running on Android or iOS and a bulky analogue device.
When i go out for work or jogging, i usually take only my phone with me. And i would prefer using my J1 and not one of my Android phones that i'd rather leave at home. I tried running the Android app on it for alarms but no luck getting it to work so far. So this is a dead end (the Android app is called aPager Pro if you need to know).
What i did manage to do is forwarding the messages by e-mail from the app to my J1 using an app called NotifyMe. The problem is: I get a lot of e-mails. So if i have to take my phone out every time i get an e-mail, i'm more or less unable to work.
So what i need is a solution that reads my mails (or just the sender as that would always be the same for the forwarded alarms) and plays a sound as loud as possible. But i'm way out of my depths here. Does anyone have any idea how to solve my problem?
So can you describe how do you get the email from the alarm, does it work so that the android application sends the email when you are summoned? Or do you get the alarm email from the fire department?

Of course if the alarm backend system that "aPager Pro" uses had an open API then it would not be difficult to implement something in python that'd serve as alarm application on SFOS.

If this is not possible then indeed some filtering based on the emails is the next best thing.
