Conditional Commands and Concept of Time

Hi, I have a question for the Mycroft devs.(anybody else feel free to chime in as well though)

Is it planned to be able to tell Mycroft to take action based on a simple condition?
Also a way to let Mycroft know to wait to do something. Like 30 min from now, or 30 min from a certain condition.
If so, will this be a part of Mycroft’s “syntax” or will it be up to each individual skill to handle conditions and Time awareness?

Examples:
“Hey Mycroft, if it is snowing wake me up 10 min earlier.”

Perhaps make a setting permanent with “from now on”
“Hey Mycroft, from now on, brew the coffee 5 min before my wake time.”

“Hey Mycroft, tell me to take a break in an hour.”
“Hey Mycroft, remind me to call Sam at 3:00”

Not sure why I just noticed this post. @seanfitz what do you think?

That’s a great idea. If it could extend to support popular to-do list applications (like Todoist), then your whole task list would suddenly be a lot more interesting!

I say Todoist because you can add a new task in the format "Remind me to call Sam at 3:00 and it will automatically assign the time to the task. You can do this with dates, recurring times/dates e.t.c. I’m a pretty big Todoist fan as you can see! :stuck_out_tongue:
