Easy to repro: Say "Hey Mycroft, delete all alarms"
Expected result: "You deleted X alarms"
Actual result: "Okay, setting a recurring delete all alarms alarm alarm noise"

Looks like a lot of stuff falls into the alarm creation code, since virtually all alarms in the system were the result of ambient conversaion.

Without announcing the listening sound, catching when the listening is active to stop the alarm is difficult to figure out and thus it's hard to stop the alarm. I'd suggest making it the same as Timer skill where there's plenty of time in between buzzes.

Looks like nobody is owning these issues. I am not a programmer but I wish I was. It would have been working six months ago. Too much wasted time. Not to mention the embarrasment when the skills failed while I was vetting MyCroft to my wife! She actually laughed out loud- not impressed.

1. I cannot copy the output from the app. So I cannot provide any usefull informations. this is unproductive for debugging.
2. set an alarm, now the voice commands do not work, getting the alarm every 10 seconds or so.

I was attempting to set an alarm for the 18 october 2018, and although the alarm seems to have been set, the response I got "I've created an alarm for today at midnight, 30 days from now" seems a bit strange.

Setting an alarm for somewhere within the week is fine, as you can see on the screenshot.
I've spoken with Ake and Kathy on chat. Kathy asked me to create this issue.

There's no way to cancel an alarm once it's been created

When attempting to set an alarm today, using Picroft, for 1:00 PM today (while the current time was 11:59 AM local), Mycroft set the alarm for tomorrow at that time.
When asking Mycroft to cancel the alarm, the response was that the request was not understood.
When asking Mycroft "Are any alarms set?" the response was that the request was not understood.

I was trying to test the Mark 1 enclosure skill (it's stealing my brightness intents) and mycroft tried to set an alarm for me. Once he started asking for am/pm, I couldn't get out without giving one of those as an answer.

Iaw this on a Mark 1 first, and then used https://github.com/ChristopherRogers1991/mycroft-chatter on my desktop to generate the chat log below:

Me: set 50%
Mycroft: Should I set this for A.M. or P.M.?
Me: stop
Mycroft: Should I set this for A.M. or P.M.?
Me: cancel
Mycroft: Should I set this for A.M. or P.M.?
Me: am
Mycroft: Okay. Setting a 50% a.m. alarm
Mycroft: 50% a.m. alarm is up
Me: cancel
Mycroft: I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Me: cancel my alarm
Mycroft: I can not find an alarm set for 
Me: cancel my alarm at 50%
Mycroft: I can not find an alarm set for 
Me: list my alarms
Mycroft: I don't understand, but I'm learning new things everyday.
Me: when is my next alarm
Mycroft: It seems like you have no active alarms

When asking Mycroft to set an alarm, Mycroft simply says that "I might want to say it differently" or a similar message (meaning the command is not recognized.)

Uninstalling/reinstalling the alarm skill does not solve the problem. I am using the Mycroft version available through the Ubuntu snap store, although the git install method produces the same issue.

Currently the Alarm Skill directly manipulates the volume via ALSA. This should be done by emitting the relevant messages on the Mycroft Message bus so that each platform can handle the volume in its own specific way. At the very least this should be handled by the Volume Skill, not the Alarm Skill.

The volume control messages can be found at:

Could you delete ")" after (понедельник) in second line?

Linux Mint 19.3, core-dev, alarm skill's up to date.

I get a lot of this:

Describe the bug
When I set an alarm for week days at 7am it goes as follows.

1st alarm: Works as intended goes off at 7am.
2nd alarm: Goes off at 2am.
3rd alarm: Goes off at 9pm.

This behavior was confusing to me until I realized my timezone is est(-5 hours) which does not seem like a coincidence since the alarm regresses by exactly 5 hours everytime.

To Reproduce
Set timezone to est in mycroft.conf
"Set an alarm for weekdays at 7 in the morning"
Wait for alarms to drift from target time.

Expected behavior
Alarm to go off at 7am every week day..
