Description

Currently calindori e.g implements alarm functionality using the QTimer, it have two disadvantages,

  • It won't work if device is asleep
  • It takes CPU cycle to wake thing up every 15 mins and check the config file etc...

Implement this functionality using timer_fd interface, which allows to wake from sleep and doesn't need polling.

Ideally, in Plasma environment use PowerDevil's schedule wake up system would be better. However, this can act as a fall back method in case running in non plasma DE.
