Good afternoon,

I am a user of an Iphone 15 and Homey Pro 2023.

I am looking for the easiest way to set a time with my phone, then this time is taken over in Homey and activates a flow at this time.

I have tried to get this done via Commands app on the iPhone, but I am not successful. However, it would be nicest to do shortcut on my phone. I have also read that this is possibly possible with the alarm function in Homey., Other possibilities are also welcome 🙂

In short:  
Enter time on my phone (Homey variable or Commands app)  
Time is taken over in Homey  
Time is used to start a flow in homey at set time.

I hope I made myself a little clear.

Thanks in advance.

You can create a flow in Homey and make it a “favorite” Then you can use your Iphone commands/automations app to trigger that flow when for example an alarm goes off (also a specific alarm etc), is snoozed etc. Also you can add many other triggers

@Chris_nl are you using an app for this alarm?  
The default homey alarm for me does not show:

- “automatisering voer onmiddelijk uit”
- meld indien uitgevoerd

Thanks

This is the Commands app from iOS.

It’s called “Shortcuts” in English 😃
