TimeAlarms Library: how to disable or kill created Alarm or Timer?

[Tomasina]

I'm use a Alarm.alarmRepeat(hours, minutes, seconds, function) function in my alarm clock - create an alarm that will call a function every day at a particular time.

How to disable/kill/pause this Alarm?

Hello again
I'm found answers in readme.txt file (strange that this is not mentioned on the web page):

Low level functions not usually required for typical applications:
disable( ID); - prevent the alarm associated with the given ID from triggering
enable(ID); - enable the alarm
write(ID, value); - write the value (and enable) the alarm for the given ID
read(ID); - return the value for the given ID
readType(ID); - return the alarm type for the given alarm ID
getTriggeredAlarmId(); - returns the currently triggered alarm id, only valid in an alarm callback

but please explain how types (byte, int, boolean, etc.) of these functions and some code samples - how use these functions. I can't found samples.

Simply look at the header file it is all spelled out.

 AlarmID_t triggerOnce(time_t value, OnTick_t onTickHandler);   // trigger once at the given time_t

  AlarmID_t alarmRepeat(time_t value, OnTick_t onTickHandler);                    // trigger daily at given time of day
  AlarmID_t alarmRepeat(const int H,  const int M,  const int S, OnTick_t onTickHandler); // as above, with hms arguments
  AlarmID_t alarmRepeat(const timeDayOfWeek_t DOW, const int H,  const int M,  const int S, OnTick_t onTickHandler); // as above, with day of week 
 
  AlarmID_t alarmOnce(time_t value, OnTick_t onTickHandler);                     // trigger once at given time of day
  AlarmID_t alarmOnce( const int H,  const int M,  const int S, OnTick_t onTickHandler);  // as above, with hms arguments
  AlarmID_t alarmOnce(const timeDayOfWeek_t DOW, const int H,  const int M,  const int S, OnTick_t onTickHandler); // as above, with day of week 
  
  AlarmID_t timerOnce(time_t value, OnTick_t onTickHandler);   // trigger once after the given number of seconds 
  AlarmID_t timerOnce(const int H,  const int M,  const int S, OnTick_t onTickHandler);   // As above with HMS arguments
  
  AlarmID_t timerRepeat(time_t value, OnTick_t onTickHandler); // trigger after the given number of seconds continuously
  AlarmID_t timerRepeat(const int H,  const int M,  const int S, OnTick_t onTickHandler);   // As above with HMS arguments

All the functions return a AlarmID_t or AlarmID.
You save the ID from the call in your AlarmID variable that you declare,
then use it in the other functions like enable()/disable()
