TimeAlarms

Projects General Guidance

I have this code and it works fine. When I set the alarms I can see them go off when the time is reached:

#include <Wire.h>

#include "RTClib.h"
#include <Time.h>
#include <TimeAlarms.h>

RTC_DS1307 rtc;

void setup(){
  Serial.begin(9600);
  
  Wire.begin();
  rtc.begin();
 
  if (! rtc.isrunning()) {
    Serial.println("RTC is NOT running!");
    // following line sets the RTC to the date & time this sketch was compiled
    //rtc.adjust(DateTime(__DATE__, __TIME__));
    Serial.print("time set auto");
  }
  
  //setTime(8,29,0,1,1,11); // set time to Saturday 8:29:00am Jan 1 2011
  
  DateTime now = rtc.now();
  
  setTime(now.hour(), now.minute(), now.second(), now.month(), now.day(), now.year());
  // create the alarms 
  Alarm.alarmRepeat(9,15,0, MorningAlarm);  // 8:00am every day
  Alarm.alarmRepeat(9,16,0, EveningAlarm);  // 4:00pm every day 
  Alarm.alarmRepeat(9,17,0, EveningAlarm);  // 1:00am every day 
  //Alarm.alarmRepeat(dowSaturday,8,30,30,WeeklyAlarm);  // 8:30:30 every Saturday 
  //Alarm.timerRepeat(15, Repeats);            // timer for every 15 seconds    
  //Alarm.timerOnce(10, OnceOnly);             // called once after 10 seconds 
      Serial.print("Alarms set!");
}

void  loop(){  
  digitalClockDisplay();
  Alarm.delay(1000); // wait one second between clock display
}

// functions to be called when an alarm triggers:
void MorningAlarm(){
  Serial.println("Alarm: - read CO/V1 & post to web");    
}

void EveningAlarm(){
  Serial.println("Alarm: - read CO/V2 & post to web");           
}

void DawnAlarm(){
  Serial.println("Alarm: - read CO/V & post to web");           
}

void WeeklyAlarm(){
  Serial.println("Alarm: - its Monday Morning");      
}

void ExplicitAlarm(){
  Serial.println("Alarm: - this triggers only at the given date and time");       
}

void Repeats(){
  Serial.println("15 second timer");         
}

void OnceOnly(){
  Serial.println("This timer only triggers once");  
}

void digitalClockDisplay()
{
  // digital clock display of the time
  Serial.print(hour());
  printDigits(minute());
  printDigits(second());
  Serial.println(); 
}

void printDigits(int digits)
{
  Serial.print(":");
  if(digits < 10)
    Serial.print('0');
  Serial.print(digits);
}

But I dont want to see the time on the monitor, I actually just want to see the alarms. So I comment out the 2 lines in the loop method that call:

digitalClockDisplay();
  Alarm.delay(1000);

But when I do this, the alarm methods do not get logged.

Why?
