Time Tone

The first active timer for Alexa! Instead of simply beeping at a predetermined time, this skill provides second and 10 second interval updates! Has two modes! One that great for motivating short, 5 minute tasks The other mode is great for providing white background noise with a gentle reminder of time!

There are two modes:
Mode 1). A 5 minute long timer. Uses beeps to indicate individual seconds and speech for 10 second intervals. Can end at any point, at which it returns the amount of time elapsed.

Mode 2). An hour long soothing timer. Uses a soothing tick-tock water noise to indicate seconds and periodic thunder for every 10 second interval. Can end at any point, at which it returns the amount of time elapsed.
Mode two format is as follows:
tick tock tick tock tick tock tick tock tick thunder.

To use, there are a variety of ways to activate each timer. The general schema is:

To Begin:
Alexa, ask time tone to play. This defaults to the first mode.
Alexa, ask time tone for first. Plays the first mode.

Alexa, ask time tone for second. Plays the second mode.
Alexa, ask time tone for rain. Plays the second mode.


To end (Ends timer and returns elapsed time):
