When creating a new alarm in AlarmPad, is there any way to set what alarm ID will be assigned? Alternatively, when an alarm is triggered, is there a way for Tasker to retrieve the alarm title? I would like for Tasker to take different actions depending on which alarm just went off.

Assuming AlarmPad is a third-party app with a plugin component,
you would need to talk to the developer about what data is passed
to your task and how.

The developer of AlarmPad has announced that he has changed jobs, and will no longer be supporting AlarmPad. So, I am hoping that someone else who has used AlarmPad with Tasker might know the answer to my questions. Yes, it is a third-party app that has a Tasker plugin.

I have installed the app to test and find out if i can help.

I have created a new profile and put the "Test Tasker" action in the task to get all local variables. Following are the variables and the value respectively.

%hoursleft,%minutesleft,%sunrise,%longweekday,%tempmax,%tempmin,%tempnow,%shortweekday,%alarmid,%totalsecondsleft,%daysleft,%totalhoursleft,%lastknownlat,%lastknownlon,%chancerain,%day,%hour,%year,%totaldaysleft,%alarmpadstatus,%caller1,%weatherdesc,%monthsleft,%priority,%hastime,%secondsleft,%yearsleft,%totalminutesleft,%QTIME,%label,%month,%qtime,%alarmpadid,%minute,%sunset,%isactive

I have not done the other way around i.e. assigning the ID/Title.

Thanks. I had forgotten about the existence of the Test Tasker command. It turns out that the Title is passed in as the %label variable, so I can use that to tell which sort of alarm was triggered.

Just FYI you can try with ClockTask plugin. AlarmPad is no more updated and supported.
