Alarm clocks are shit. I want to build one that actually works for me.
Criteria
- Does not rely on being irritating. No "find the puzzle piece I ejected into orbit" type things.
- Uses the time signal to set itself.
- Has a programmable wake-up sequence.
- Mains powered.
Ideas
- Dawn light, use a full-spectrum bulb. Turns on at the start of the wakeup sequence, gradually gets brighter.
- Allow for plugging in an external lamp instead of a built in lamp?
- Alarm starts to make noise at start of wakeup sequence, gradually getting louder. Possibly with breaks.
- "Cut off" time, at which point the thing goes mental and forces you to get up if you've not turned it off.
- Does this even need a snooze if you go for gradual wakeup?
- A wireless off button that lives in another room
- Programmable noises for wakeup sequence. USB upload?
