Hello,
Is there a possibility to schedule some activities? (hour, days of the week,...)
It would by nice to wake up with the tv on channel CNN, or to come downstears with the radio already on.
Maybe a idea for a pronto module.
Thanks

Some TV's , Cable and Satellite tuners have a wake up or timer feature built in. Same with the Radios. You could have a macro change to CNN then power off your equipment. This would be the easy fix to your question.

A while ago I as well as others posted several discussions on this topic. Search for +timers and you will find several discussions about timers as supported on legacy remotes not being available on the Pro Remotes and difficulties to implement such functionality.
If you search for posts by me discussing "new Date()" for dawn of time, you will find a post indicating the fact that the real time is not available via a Javascript Date() object on the Pronto.
In this case, the best you could do is to use GUI.getDisplayTime() and GUI.getDisplayDate() which I also authored a post on as to how to extract pieces of data using RegExp.
