  • macmost.com/e-... New iOS 13 iPhone Shortcuts automation are great, but you can't have most automations play without manually confirming first. However, you can have an automation triggered when you stop an alarm, which leads to some interesting uses. In these examples, we'll have a song or podcast start when you turn off your alarm. We'll also create a more complex shortcut to play a playlist matching the name of the day.

  • @MichelJosephCardin

    There is a simple way to use any player as an alarm; just record blank for ten hours and then capture whatever alarm sound you'd like and then just play with vlc or what not and start the playing accordingly. Example if you start playing it at the two hours mark; then eight hours later you'll get your sound that you added. Cheers and thus then you have a saved alarm sound that you use anytime. And if you'd like; you can record blank for ten hours and just chose automatic playing the next video and then do the same thing and just add both to the vlc playlist and your sound will play after your silent clip has finished.

      You would need to just add lots of actions to check the date and play one podcast on one date, and other on another date. I can't do the work for you, but I can tell you it is possible if you have some programming skill.

      I suppose you could work it out. At least have it go to the main RUclips channel page or the playlist page, or maybe do a search for the the right words and date as part of a RUclips URL. It will take some work, but maybe.

      It should just play from the current output, but that may be difficult to do if your iPhone is the device executing the Shortcut and you use other things with it.

For example i have my automation set up when my alarm goes off my phone will tell me the weather and traffic but 20 minutes after it does that id like it to start warming up my car. i know how to activate the warming up the car shortcut im just unsure how to make it wait 20 minutes before doing so.

    • @macmost
      @macmost  4 года назад

      No, I can't think of a way. But if you are taking the action to take out your AirPods and put them in your ears, tapping the Play button on your iPhone isn't that much extra. In fact, if you have something cued up, you can just double-tap on AirPod to start it playing.

      I don't think there is a way to trigger something when you battery hits a certain level. (Note that there is no reason to unplug your MacBook when it gets to 100% as it won't overcharge or anything like that. Just leave it plugged in until you need to use it away from power).

    I have created speak texts so Siri can read my schedule to me in the morning and tell me the weather as well. My only issue is when I run my shortcut on my phone clicking the play button, it will work properly and go to my HomePod. However, when it is run through the automation by clicking stop alarm, it plays the speak text through my phone then plays the music on my HomePod.
    Do you have a fix for this? Would probably need to share the shortcut for it to make sense!
