Does anyone know if there is anything which does a similar job to Nokia situations which in Beta Labs? This is exactly the kind of thing I would like my devices to do. If there is then I must have missed it.

The blurb on the site reads...

Nokia Situations helps your device tie more into your life. You can manually define situations, like “In a meeting”, “Sleeping”, “Watching TV”, or “Playing with kids” and define how you want the device to act. With the application running in the background, your device automatically senses the situation you are in and adapts to it according to your preferences.

You can trigger any combination of the following actions in any situation:

* Change Ringtones, make the phone go silent or louder, turn vibra on/off, and all the other profile settings.
* Answer missed calls with SMS. Especially when you set your phone to silent, you can also make it reply to missed calls, from contacts in your phonebook, with a pre-defined SMS.
* Save Power. Not using phone for a while, like when sleeping? Turn Bluetooth on/off or let your phone change to power-saving mode totally.
* Change UI theme / Wallpaper. Want to make the phone look different in different situations? Change the Theme during free time vs. when you are at work.
* Open a Web bookmark or application. Want to see weather forecast for the day when you wake up? Look at the calendar as first thing? Or open your favorite TV show discussion page at show time? Or perhaps change the Device Mode when at work?

To enable the device to act on the situation, you can tell the device to watch for the following conditions (separately or in combination):

* Scheduled. Set period of time, Set active days, Set during active calendar events.
* Location. Nearby (GSM location), Current location (GPS fix), From Map (use Ovi maps)
* Connectivity. Wi-Fi (when in range), Bluetooth

n9profil or the more geeky one dbuscron

Thanks, completely missed N9profile. It only seems to let you create one timed profile event, which would stop me swicthing to one profile, and then back to another at a particular time.

Had another look, and alarmd seems to do some of what I am after, although it will only read the standard system profiles, and not the extra ones created by either n9profile or profilesX.
