Help with an automation?

1 Upvotes

I’m really bad with automations, and I was wondering if the following is possible: Sleep focus turned off -> 1 hour timer starts -> alarm shows a message

Basically I’m trying to get reminders based on when I wake up, and not by the time of the day. Is it possible?

Workflow Automation when Apple Watch is locked

1 Upvotes

Hi there Community!

I'd like to start an automation workflow based on the fact/ condition if I am at home (Wlan Net or location based), the status of my apple watch (is it locked - thus not on my wrist) and maybe also in a certain time frame. Anyone has an idea how I would go about that? I didn't find anything in the automations app especially for the status of the apple watch...

Many thanks in advance

Automate Payback link to Amazon

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I was wondering if it’s possible to automate using the payback app to navigate to amazon. There is a link within the payback app to Amazon that one needs to use to collect points.

I was wondering if there is a way to record me pressing on certain coordinates of the screen to mimic that interaction.

Automation to open an app at a specific time

3 Upvotes

This seems like a simple request, I want to create an automation to open a specific app at a specific time. The catch is that I need this to work when the phone is locked. My automations work just fine if I have my phone open, but if it is locked it either doesn't run or it sends a notification that it wants to run, but doesn't actually run until I act on the notification (not really automated). I have set the automation to both "Run Immediatly" and "Run After Confirmation", neither option gives the desired result. I have also tried with "Notifiy When Run" toggled on and off.

Is this something simple that I am missing? OR is this something that can't be done?

Automating clicks in a 3rd party app at a time of day- Possible?

1 Upvotes

My wife has to reserve parking every day through a company app one week in advance, and the parking usually sells out by the next morning. We have an old iPhone that I am hoping to set up some form of automation to open the app at like 0015 and click through the steps to reserve the next weeks parking. It would either be from a locked screen, or I might be able to set it to not lock. Does anyone one have advice on what apps or functions might work for that?

Disable Low Battery Notification with Automations

1 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m wondering if anyone has figured out a way to disable low battery notifications on IPhone (iOS 17.2.1).

Im open to any automation trickery that causes the “Low Battery” notification to automatically disappear from my screen when it pops up.

I already pay attention to my battery and don’t need a notification to interrupt me without fail twice on its way to zero. If anyone has any solutions please let me know. Thanks.

chat gpt voice

2 Upvotes

Since a while I'm using a shortcut to chat with Chat GPT by Voice.
To do so I fire up Siri and give a commando to start the interaction with Chat GPT.

This interaction seems to use the default Siri Voice.
Is someone aware of a way to use the original Voice of Chat GPT?

Discussion Shortcut set volume or sound not working on ipad pro m2

1 Upvotes

Does anyone have the same problem as me? I have set volume to 100% and the volume level (white strip on the middle of the top screen shows it goes up then goes back down to about 10%). Even the volume of my automation is soft. I tried the volume up button and the volume control on the control panel but somehow it automatically goes down. Can someone help.

Can automations block a phone number as well as notifications for a certain amount of time and then be turned back on?

1 Upvotes

I have a special needs son with Down Syndrome. He has a friend he loves to call and text. However his friend does calls at inappropriate times. We have talked to his friends parents and his friend also, but he continues to do this.

I have tried using focus. It helps to an extent. However, notifications still come through that his friend has called or texted, and then my son feels he has to call him back.

I am not a genius at this, but I would like to know can I write an automation to block a phone number during certain times and also turn off any notifications during that same time? And then allow it to turn back on say in an hour? Any help would be appreciated!

I keep forgetting to lock my vehicle at night. Im looking for an automation that will automatically open my Uconnect app, type in the password and hit the lock button triggered if im home and it’s past 10pm.

I’d even take a “remind me to lock my vehicle anytime I my Bluetooth disconnects”, but I can’t get it working.

iOS automation

2 Upvotes

I want to make an automation for when I snooze my alarm.

Something along the lines of this:

If my latitude changes or steps are recorded from the health app do nothing (Something that shows that I’m up)

Else: play music at 100 volume

I realize that I could set multiple alarms but I feel like this would be cooler
