How to set, snooze and delete alarms on Apple HomeView

HomeView has a built-in Alarms app that can handle wake-up times, reminders and other household alerts. You can create alarms by voice or from the screen, with options for labels, repeats and snoozing.

Set an alarm with Siri or the Alarms app

Activate Siri on HomeView and say something like “Set an alarm for 7 a.m.” To use the screen instead, open the Alarms app and tap the Add button, then choose the time and any other available options. To change an existing alarm, tap it in the list and edit its settings.

Snooze or stop an alarm

When an alarm sounds, tap Snooze if you want another alert later, or Stop to end it. These controls appear on HomeView’s screen. Apple’s HomeView User Guide confirms that alarms also support repeating schedules and labels.

Turn off or delete an alarm

Open the Alarms app and find the alarm you want to change. Turn its switch off to disable it temporarily, which lets you switch it back on later. To delete an alarm permanently, swipe left on it and tap Delete.

Timers are a separate feature for counting down a duration, rather than setting a specific time of day. If you want more information about what the device can do, read our complete HomeView guide and our feature roundup.
