Hi,
I'm quite new to shortcuts & automations. I’ve only really started looking at them as I wanted to use my HomePod mini as a clock radio… but the BBC being the BBC they aren’t available on the HomePod. Hence the hoop jumping with workarounds on my phone.
Here’s what I’ve set up:
This works if run manually. And the stand-alone shortcut I have with the exact same steps works, when i ask Siri to play radio 2. But the scheduling on the automation seems iffy. Sometimes it works, but mostly it doesn’t. Yet every day when I first pick up my phone in the morning the lock screen tells me it was running the automation at the set time.
Does anyone have any pointers on how to get these automations to work reliably?
Cheers,
Jason.
