first post on here. I posted about this on the MPU forum and Tonny was really helpful. But I’m not a nerd to the degree that I’m able to script anything in Siri Shortcuts. Therefore I’m hoping someone out there might be able to help me and create this Shortcut for me:
Stop Alarm on my iPhone
Read me today’s weather
Read me today’s events
Play my Jazz genre through iTunes Match on my HomePod in the living room.
Just a side note that Apple still seem to have invited some people from outside the developers programme to the new beta. I don’t have a developer account but I do have access to the 2.1 (710) beta build via Testflight.
I think these are the original beta testers of Workflow, I got two invites last time and got an invite this time before I knew there was another sign up.
Stopping your alarm isn’t something I think Shortcuts can help you with. Though from a Siri point of view I can’t say I’ve ever tried a command whilst an alarm is sounding
You also don’t locate alarms in the Shortcuts app. Siri will pick out common interactions with alarms (e.g. enabling a 6 AM alarm) and these can then appear in your Siri Suggestions list. You can see some alarm related ones listed in your screenshot.
Thanks Rose. That’s really a shame actually. Then there is no real point in having a Morning Shortcut for me. The disabling of alarms is the through speech is foundational trigger for me and how that would kick off my playlist in the living room
I believe that I can help with the alarms portion of it.
I had a Siri Shortcut (created with the Shortcuts app) that would disable / enable alarms, but it annoyed me because I had to press the “Do” button for every alarm that I wanted to adjust.
However, tonight, I found “toggle alarm” instead of using enable / disable which didn’t require anything else on my end, it just worked.
As for current weather, I use Carrot Weather for that which works great.
Unfortunately, I no longer use OF (I had OF 2, but didn’t upgrade to 3), so unfortunately I can’t help there.
I just created a simple Shortcut (again with app) which had these two steps…
1.) Get Playlist - Whatever your playlist name is
2.) Play Music - I used Shuffle - Songs, Repeat - None
This worked for me, I’m using iOS 12.1.1 (beta 3) BUT the current App Store version of Shortcuts.
I hope this helps you out, and I didn’t misunderstand your request.
Thanks Scott. I will set this all up later in December when I have time. It’s my plan to set up a complete evening and morning routine, I will look at your shortcuts then and report back, thanks!
