So set it for a time that's after your kids go to bed, but before you typically do?
What the hell good does a flashing red light in your bedroom do if you're commiserating over a few beers at your friend's house?
Set 2 or 3 alarms on your phone, if need be.
Fuck, this post is almost as bad as /r/AskElectronics when someone asks how to replace a simple switch on a kid's flashlight, and a dozen new-grad EE's come up with Arduino and Raspberry Pi "solutions" to a broken wire on a slide switch.
I'm pretty sure their point is, the light will still be flashing whenever it is they get to bed. Alarms have to be actively managed, that light's just going to keep flashing harmlessly until it's dealt with.
im w/ u 100! and lol @ Pi "solutions"
It stays red...until he resets it... it's a better solution.
He can be at his buddies place, it turns red, he forgets but when he gets home before bed, it reminds him.
If an alarm goes off when he's at his buddies he turns it off and forgets.
It's not that hard to understand the difference. Calm down.
