* Alarms
It is possible to set an alarm, which will be shown in the alarm window. When
- the alarm expires, the phone wakes up if it is suspended, and zavai vibrates
- for 5 seconds.
+ the alarm expires, the phone wakes up if it is suspended, and zavai vibrates,
+ turns on baclight, shows a big ACK button and flashes the AUX led for 30
+ seconds. It also plays some music.
- It is planned to use the AUX button to acknowledge the alarm and stop the
- vibration; when this will happen, vibration can go on for more than 5 seconds.
+ You can use the big button on screen or the AUX button to acknowledge the
+ alarm and stop all the attention-seeking activities.
- When I'll implement some audio playing infrastructure, I'll implement playing
- an audio file as well.
+ If you want to change the alarm ringtone, you can set:
+ ringtone_alarm = "file:///some/where/file.ext"
+ in ~/.zavai/config; gstreamer is used, so mostly any audio file format will
+ work. I'm not sure what will happen if you choose a video format: that might
+ work as well.
- Also missing are a popup that tells that an alarm is ringing, and a notifier
- for unacknowledged popups.
+ Alarms (acknowledged or not) are logged in "~/.zavai/log-alarm/". Still
+ missing, howerver, is a way to show that an alarm rang and noone noticed.
Patches welcome.
- Details: the alarms are scheduled with at(1). Please see omhacks for simple
- suspend hooks that will wake up the phone to run scheduled at jobs.
+ Details: the alarms are scheduled with at(1): they stay scheduled even if
+ zavai is restarted, and you can see them with "atq". Please see omhacks for
+ simple suspend hooks that will wake up the phone to run scheduled at jobs.
* Calendar
- interface zavai with a proper calendar system, without making the interface
harder to use (if you can).
+ * GSM
+
+ If you have a pin, add 'sim_pin = "1234"' to ~/.zavai/config
+
+ Don't start frameworkd at boot. Get rid of fso-usaged from your system (it
+ will be started by dbus when frameworkd starts, if it's there).
+
+ Now you can use zavai to turn on GSM, including powering up the antenna and
+ providing the PIN if required by the SIM.
+
+ It does not currently do anything else beside turning things on. It is useful,
+ however, to make GSM services available to simple scripts like SMS or contact
+ list dump tools.

Stability / design
Zavai currently focuses on the interface side, trying to make it easy for me

* Features to add:
- - work without ogpsd
- + power on/off the gps and start/stop gpsd
- + set to keep the GPS on during suspend
- - use the gpsd protocol to know if there is a fix or not
- - suspend/resume hooks to put the GPS into low power mode
- log
- - timestamp, coordinates
+ - write data to disk as log happens (to have at least partial logs if power
+ is cut)
+ - more detailed GPX data (dop, elev..)
- message (structured) (json?)
- - instant or period (start, end). Period have timestamp and coordinates at
- start and end. And GPX track of trip.
+ - turn on/off gsm
+ + start frameworkd as a subprocess, configured to only do phone
+ + go through the dbus motions of turning on this and that, and entering PIN
+ hardcoded in zavai config
+ + GSM status on main screen (with messages while coming online, and
+ operator, power and so on)
+ - log and refuse incoming calls and messages
+ to "move" the GSM device to my laptop:
+ socat FILE:/dev/ttySAC0 TCP-LISTEN:12345,bind=192.168.0.202
+ socat TCP:192.168.0.202:12345 PTY,link=/tmp/gps,raw,echo=0
