How do I deactivate an alarm created with an old phone

I lost my old phone where I set an alarm to blink every Tuesday at 7:30. I have now a new phone and in the new phone that alarm isn't listed. How do I go about deleting or changing that blinking alarm that I configured in the past?

Hello,
Alarms, timers, groups and rules are stored in the hue bridge and not on your local device. If you have a new device and connect all4hue to your hue bridge the corresponding alarm should still be available and shown on the new phone. Is the alarm still activated (blinking) every Tuesday at 7:30 or not?

Hello together,
I believe to have found the cause for the missing alarm:
- On my bridge, I see all 11 "alarms" I have created (with different apps)
- But I can only see a subset of "timers" (15 of 59!)
So I checked in (technical) detail: only the timers with syntax "localtime" are shown, and not the old/legacy ones with "time".
After having modified one alarm to use "time" instead of "localtime" (via API), it is not shown anymore in all 4 hue. This should be easy to fix for @ReneWahl.
Regards,
Marcus
