Configurable "do not disturb" so it can be automaticlly turn on/off at night

(1/2) > >>

smithpeter:
I strongly suggest Obi to add a Configurable "do not disturb" timer feature, so that we can set the "do not disturb" to  be automaticlly turn on/off at certian night hours. I believe many people don't want calls to call in at certain hours and don't want to do "*78" manually every night. It will be even better, if we can still call out during the "Do not disturb" period if we pick up the phone, while no one can call in.

Roger:
A lot of us on this forum use a google voice number, and in the GV settings you can select your DND times.  That feature will still work after May 15th.  (Getting rid of your GV number because GV is getting rid of XMPP is rash).

I have always been tempted to use DND at night, but what if there is a true emergency and you actually want the call?

giqcass:
They really should have this in my opinion.  Along with a whitelist of numbers that can bypass do not disturb.  There is a dau night mode for Obiplus and there are a few hacks to make your own.

I once had the same trepidation as you.  Here is my solution.
1)Get married.
2)Make sure everyone has your spouses cell phone number for emergencies. 
3)Enable do not disturb.
4)Get a good night sleep.

Even more rash than "getting rid of your GV number".  ;D

Many phones have this feature built in.  My Panasonic cordless phones do, each extension can be programmed independently.  Not a cheap option of course.
