@odd Here’s a screenshot of a HomeKit scene I run. It triggers the lights in my office (so I don’t trip on the cats) and prompts the HomePod Mini to play a radio station (but this could also be set to a playlist). This automatically triggers through a Shortcuts automation that’s set when Sleep Mode ends (which is when my alarm is set).
@skoobz I wish I was better at Shortcuts… Maybe someone else already has made something like this.
