Details
If you enable an alarm that has a start time that is in the past, the alarm executes immediately.
If an alarm time in the past is used to start a scan, the alarm time may be missed by the scan start.
This can occur because the scan clears any pending triggers before it begins, so it will miss any
trigger generated from the alarm enable. To prevent a missed alarm, start the scan in the
background, then enable the alarm.
Example
schedule.alarm[1].enable = 1
Enables alarm 1.
