I'm not sure if I get what you mean, but the intent is that:

  1. Display is off
  2. Alarm rings -> power key is reserved for snoozing alarm
  3. Display turns on (when/if proximity sensor is not covered)
  4. Pressing power key -> snoozes calendar/clock alarm (timer alarms are stopped)
  5. Alarm dialog is dismissed -> power key is used for display control again
  6. Display turns off automatically after couple of secs

Whether device lock is used and/or active should play no role in the above.

@spiiroin thank you for the thorough explanation. If i understand you correctly you need to press the power once to snooze the alert and once to dim the display unless you want to wait until it automatically dims.

I didnt know the power button would snooze it. My thought was that with the Screen Lit up and the Alert Showing a single pressing of the power button would dim the display (amd snooze 5min).

@DarkTuring: yes - one press to snooze, another one to turn display off.

Note that using "dim*" in this context is a bit confusing because it has distinct meaning in sfos jargon. The display has three states: "on", "dimmed", and "off". Power key toggles between "on" and "off" states. The "dimmed" state = when device is left idle with display on -> timer triggers -> display brightness is reduced noticeably = signifies "about to turn off display". If user then taps anywhere on screen -> display is brought back to "on" state, otherwise the display is turned "off" in few seconds.
