<!-- SC_OFF -->I’m trying to set up my Action Button so that it toggles my music while I’m at work, and toggles the flashlight everywhere else. The music part works, but “Toggle Flashlight” doesn’t seem to work at all. Even if I make a brand-new shortcut with only the Toggle Flashlight action, it just turns green and eventually says “Execution Timed Out.” Has anyone else run into this or know what’s causing it? <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/PurgatoryGFX (https://www.reddit.com/user/PurgatoryGFX)

I created a create alarm action with more options than Clock
https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1wttr5p/i_created_a_create_alarm_action_with_more_options/

<!-- SC_OFF -->Clock’s Add Alarm is basic: you got a time, a name, a repeat option and a snooze. VariAlarm’s action allows you: specify DATE and TIME, name, alarm sound, volume, crescendo (fade-in), snooze, snooze duration, challenge wake and challenge rounds. For example, a user use a website to find time to pray in UAE that changes everyday, pass it to this, use their own sound with volume and crescendo. His prayer alarm is auto scheduled everyday exactly how he wants it. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/varialarm-schedule-master/id6757322888 To use the date and time field, just pass today+1 for tomorrow and time as text. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Lemon8or88 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Lemon8or88)

Any way to get frequent Apple Watch heart-rate samples into Shortcuts without starting a workout?
https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1wu47jq/any_way_to_get_frequent_apple_watch_heartrate/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I’ve been trying to build a meditation shortcut that logs Mindful Minutes and also gives me heart-rate stats for the meditation. I’m using an Apple Watch Ultra 4 with Continuous Measurements turned on. What I’ve found is that during a normal meditation, Shortcuts usually finds either no heart-rate samples or maybe one. I even tried leaving the Heart Rate app open on the watch. I could see my heart rate changing in real time, but those readings still didn’t seem to get written into Health in a way that Shortcuts could retrieve. The one thing that did work was starting a Mind & Body workout. That gave me tons of heart-rate samples, but the workout stats were ridiculous for quiet seated meditation. In one 39-minute test it credited me with 192 active calories, 271 total calories, and 39 Exercise minutes. So using a workout just to force HR sampling really isn’t workable. Is there any way, native or with a Shortcuts helper app, to get frequent heart-rate samples into Health/Shortcuts without actually starting a workout? I’m not trying to trigger a shortcut based on heart rate. I just want the heart-rate samples from the meditation interval. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Turbulent_Smoke_8989 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Turbulent_Smoke_8989)

Multimedia File Calulator
https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1wu4npg/multimedia_file_calulator/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I’m currently building a robust file size calculator which, among other things, allows you input the file size of any given media file, and return a theoretical value of how many media files you can save on the device with any given remaining storage. It also allows you to select any combination of photos and videos and return the total size of the selected media files, somewhat similar to Mac’s version in photos. If like me you’re mindful of the storage on your device, this is an indispensable tool, especially moving files about within the Apple ecosystem. My question is…is there a dedicated action in shortcuts that returns the file size of a media file I.e GET [ file size]. I haven’t stumbled upon anything similar in shortcuts. I’ve only managed to get storage, used storage from the app’ toolbox pro’ <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/Worried-Platypus3694 (https://www.reddit.com/user/Worried-Platypus3694)

A way to play/pause media on an unresponsive screen
https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1wu9qpi/a_way_to_playpause_media_on_an_unresponsive_screen/

<!-- SC_OFF -->I've just bought a very cheap iPad Pro with a failed repair unresponsive screen. It functions in every other way and I'm using it with an apple Magic Keyboard. It's essentially a laptop! However, what I'd like to do is to watch media on it, without the Magic Keyboard, once the media is up and running (e.g. NFL on DAZN). Can anybody think of a creative way of doing this with a triple click power button running a shortcut or something.. I tried the shortcut to run magnifier but it wouldn't work to play/pause media. I have a small bluetooth device that can do it.. but is there any other way I haven't considered? Obviously there is no backup on an iPad. <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/StandardCranberry867 (https://www.reddit.com/user/StandardCranberry867)
