I want MATLAB to trigger an event at 8:00 AM tomorrow, how would I do that?

This here is what I've got so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

t1 = datetime('now')

pause(2)
t2 = datetime('tomorrow')
if t2>t1 
    t1
else
    t2
end

By the way, I'm using this to create an alarm clock using this code here, where I'm replacing the time4 variable with the time tomorrow:

i = 0; 
time4 = 5;
for i = 1:1:time4
    pause(1);
    if i > 4
        display('It is time to wake up');
    talk('Dev1', 'ao0', 3.5);
    pause(1);
    talk('Dev1', 'ao0', 0);
    end
end

No. That won't do it. You need to look into this.

You should use the timer class that Fangjun linked, but your approach is also possible:

t2 = datetime('tomorrow');
while true
    pause(2)%check the time every two seconds
    if datetime('now')>t2
        disp('midnight has broken')
        break
    end
end
