It would be nice if you could program a full week with eg a different alarm for each day, and with the possibilty to also program a radiostation als source.

Simple alarms are available now (Settings > Alarm), but I agree that something more versatile would be good … in fact, sounds ideal for a plugin. 
+1 for this. Setting an alarm with the day option would be great rather than at this time every 24 hours.
And you can set radio stations to be alarms - but it’s not super intuitive.
You have to save the radio station as a regular playlist.
This is done via the Queue tab on the main playing page (The three lines button, bottom right next to the little speaker button).
Once here save the station you are playing as a playlist. It is then available to set as an alarm.
I would love a extended alarm function for Volumio as i am in the process of building an Alarm clock with the PI Zero WH.
Additional to the existing interface:
- Day toggles MON - SUN (on/off)
- Source selection: Playlist - Radio station - Streaming plugin (Spotify etc) and a single song to wake up to.
- Next to the Alarm ON time a Alarm OFF time setting.
and if you really want to go Alarm clock:
4. GPIO settings for Alarm ON - SNOOZE - OFF
With a time setting for SNOOZE.
Cheers,
Its been 3 years, is there any plugin which can help with this yet?
There is no plugin for this as there is almost no interest for it.
What you can do is using crontabs which calls a script to play something, like:
import requests
import time
playlist_name = "Radio"
playlist_url = "http://localhost:3000/api/v1/commands/?cmd=playplaylist&name=" + playlist_name
response = requests.get(playlist_url)
print(response.json())
I also realized that a more advanced alarm and sleep system was missing. Yesterday, I submitted the Sleep Wake Schedule Plugin, which is now available in the beta plugin store as of today. To use it, you’ll need to enable beta plugins in developer mode. Once you do that, it will appear under System Tools.
If you want to use it with the radio, you’ll need to add the radio to a playlist and select that playlist in the plugin’s settings.
I’m not a Node.js developer, so don’t expect miracles in future or any special enhancements. 
This was already quite a challenge for me, considering I knew nothing about Node.js and the Volumio architecture.
