Roon Extension to start or stop playback on a specific zone at a specific time.
The recommended way to install or update is via the Roon Extension Manager.
Install by opening the Settings dialog, select the Alarm Clock from the Playback category and perform the Install action.
If the manager has auto update enabled then changes will be pulled in the next time the update is performed. It is also possible to update manually via the Settings dialog, select the Alarm Clock from the Playback category and perform the Update action.

node .The extension should appear in Roon now. See Settings->Setup->Extensions and you should see it in the list. If you have multiple Roon Cores on the network, all of them should see it.

- Since you probably want to have this extension running 24/7, the most logical place for installation is on the system on which your Roon Core is running.
