Hello, I have been a long time android user for over a decade now so I have a lot of workflows figured out that I am now trying to replicate on ios. My main one I haven’t found a replacement for just yet is for my sleep tracking/smart alarm setup. I’m not sure what combination of apps would let me accomplish a similar experience or if some things just aren’t supported on ios. I have a 12 Pro Max on IOS 17b3.
My Android set up I’m looking to replicate is: Sleep As Android, Spotify, Tasker, IFTTT, and Phillips Hue
Sleep As Android did sleep tracking, white noise (playing at the same time as Audible audiobook), smart wake up (tracking sleep cycle and waking me up earlier if it thinks I’m in a light sleep), and automation triggering.
Upon starting bedtime/sleep tracking in Sleep, it would trigger IFTTT to turn off my Hue bulbs
When deep sleep is detected, it would trigger Tasker to turn off Bluetooth and stop audio playback (this is flexible I just want a way to disconnect from bluetooth and stop audio playback once I am asleep)
When alarm starts, it would trigger IFTTT to turn on my Hue lights and start playing a Spotify playlist at a slowly increasing volume.
To turn off my alarm I had to scan a QR code. This is the most consistent way I’ve found to actually get me up in the morning so its pretty important to me.
If you have any suggestions for replacing parts of this please share them! Thanks!
As far as automations go, shortcuts and the home app would be the IFTTT replacement, since IFTTT won’t have enough options for system commands as shortcuts/home app.
Using deep sleep as a trigger is just not possible. the closer you’ll get would be when sleep focus is on, but you can only automate focus modes based on time or location.
As for the QR code to turn off the alarm, there’s an app called Alarmy that does what you’re looking for, but i’m not sure if those alarms play nicely with shortcuts to run automations when you turn off the alarm, most certainly not.
