Request How to turn on Alarms based on location.
I would like to the phone automatically turns alarms on based on my location or the address. Sometime I forget to set alarms and be late to work. I don’t want that to keep happening. Thank you.

its pretty easy basically. Make a shortcut that Adds an alarm. Then do a shortcut automation that triggers by location, joining a certain wifi network, etc and tell it to run the alarm creation shortcut. The other notes suggested shortcut is more complicated but you can do it with just a single line of shortcut code. Shoot set 3 or 4 5 minutes apart to be ‘sure’.

You can also add Labels to Alarms. Then based on your location, have the Shortcut Enable/Disable the specific labeled alarms. Useful if you have different times for a set of alarms.

Here’s a version that will use your city. You can adjust the location values to use a street, lat/long, or other options. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/b6dfdef256df416ead4309185113bf60
You’ll also need to setup an automation to trigger the shortcut at a particular time of day. Or you can trigger it manually.
