How to set a timer with Siri [iOS]
The app supports Siri functionality.
You can see the 'SIRI SHORTCUTS' item by going into the timer settings.
The Siri Shortcuts page offers for a list of actions that you can set as a phrase to control the timer.
You can use Siri by saying like:
"Hey Siri, Start [timer label] using MultiTimer"
"Hey Siri, Pause [timer label] using MultiTimer"
"Hey Siri, Resume [timer label] using MultiTimer"
"Hey Siri, Stop [timer label] using MultiTimer"
Timers that support Siri: Countdown, Count-Up, Quick, Interval, Stepped.
Important note in relation to the Interval timer and Stepped timer
Adding timers (an example):
1. Add a board with the name "Tasks" (or rename if you have the free version of the app).
2. Add onto the board the Stepped Timer.
3. Enter the timer settings:
- Label the timer as "Cycle" (please, do not confuse with the intervals labels).
- Add and configure the required number of intervals (intervals can be without labels).
- Tap "Done" to store all settings.
Activate Siri:
1. Hey Siri, start "Cycle" using Multitimer.
When you receive a notification of the completion of the current interval, you should say:
2. Hey Siri, resume "Cycle" using Multitimer.
Using Siri, you refer to a certain timer by its name.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult for Siri to access timer intervals - it just does not understand them.
