Apple HomeView can automatically stop music or other playing media after a set period, which is useful when listening to something before bed. The option is built into the Timers app, so there’s no need to remember to stop playback manually.
Set a media sleep timer
Open the Timers app on HomeView. Tap the Add button to create a custom timer, choose the duration you want, and turn on Sleep Timer. Start the timer to have HomeView pause playing media after the selected period. Apple’s HomeView User Guide confirms that Sleep Timer is an available timer option.
Pause or change a running timer
Tap the timer Live Activity near the top of HomeView’s screen. From there, you can pause the countdown or open the timer settings to change its options. A regular timer can also be started using one of the preset durations, such as one, three or five minutes.
The sleep-timer setting is distinct from the Alarms app, which is meant for alerts at particular times of day. For more about HomeView entertainment features, see our full HomeView guide and our overview of HomeView app support.
