: HomePod: Apple no longer sells it but the product is more expensive than ever True, we can access them afterwards through a Podcast, but our HomePod, whether classic or mini, takes care of turning on and playing the specific station at the specific time of day they are broadcast is a most interesting feature. One use case is to set an alarm at a specific time when a certain program is on the radio, for example the news. It is clear that Apple Music offers us several interesting options when setting alarms. In this case we simply tap on Use custom volume and we use the slider at the bottom to adjust to the volume that we consider appropriate. Thus, if we have left the HomePod at a too high or low volume, we make sure that the alarm sounds at a comfortable sound and enough for us to hear it. The custom volume option that we see in step nine is also interesting. Likewise, the Random option that we mentioned in step eight only makes sense in that case. In step seven we can only add a single song to the alarm clock, if we want add more than one we will have to previously create a playlist and choose it as content when setting the alarm.
Having seen the requirements, let’s see how to configure an alarm on our HomePod to use the music from our Apple Music account. Let’s also bear in mind that we cannot use it, at least for now, from a Mac.
The options offered by Apple Music as content for alarms and alarm clocksįirst of all it is important that we bear in mind that we must update our iPhone or iPad to iOS 14.1 or later before you can use this function. Fortunately, beyond the HomePod’s default alarm tones, we can use our music from apple music. At certain times we may want to hear something quiet and soft, while at other times we need something that catches our attention.
When we talk about alarms and alarm clocks, one of the most important variables is the sound they are going to emit. So we can use our Apple Music as an alarm or alarm clock on the HomePod
