I'm not sure about the particular model from the article, but I could see wanting to use Pandora or Spotify as your alarm instead of a predefined sound. It could also get more features further down the road.
- mikestew 7y agoSo then it becomes a question of which is easier: 1. Set up a Siri Shortcut "when alarm goes off, play Spotify". Haven't done it, but having been knee-deep in Shortcuts this weekend, I'm confident that it is possible, and (on latest iOS) not difficult even for a Shortcuts n00b. (For Android, I know Tasker can do this.) 2. Fiddle with buggy and not-maintained-as-soon-as-it-shipped application to set alarm clock. Application must run on a computer that, coincidentally, can serve as a full-function WiFi-enabled alarm clock and can set its own damned time.
- RandallBrown 7y agoA wifi enabled alarm clock doesn't have to have a crappy app or even an app at all. Also, alarm clocks tell the time with a quick glance. I like to know what time it is in the middle of the night, just by looking at a clock. You might simply like the look of the alarm clock more than your phone, but still want to be able to use some of those smart features.
- skinnymuch 7y agoThe OP wasn’t defending this specific model. Just having an alarm device in genera. So #2 isn’t the only alternative. Even something like an Alexa device is an alternative. where app is optional.
- onlingyding 7y agoThe stock Android alarm clock app has Spotify support built into it. I honest can't see a use for this in the slightest.
