I am considering getting a HomePod, so I'd like to know if it can do the following:
Thanks for any insight!
HomePod
This article seems the most informative: https://www.imore.com/how-play-ambient-sleep-sounds-your-homepod.
Looks like what I want to do will work just fine, even without an Apple Music subscription. I'm not sure if it's possible to have the ambient sound stop at a specific time, but you can set the sleep timer for however long you want (up to 23 hours, 59 minutes).

Yes it will but I think you need an Apple Music subscription for this, you do for the alarm music, not sure about the ambient sounds though.
I can’t test for you because I have Apple Music.
i have been playing other music if I woke up before my alarm with music, is set to go off and it works to switch on my selected alarm playlist.
I do subscribe to Apple Music, so I'm set there.
If I understand what you're saying, you have your HomePod playing some Apple Music station or playlist while you sleep. And at your wakeup time, the HomePod automatically switches to a different Apple Music station/playlist. That's pretty close to what I want.
I just want to use the new Ambient Sounds feature that's built-in to the HomePod (via the new OS) while I sleep, and then have the HomePod play my alarm sound (or maybe some music if I decide) at my wakeup time. Alternatively, just have the ambient sound stop at my wakeup time, after which my iPhone wakeup alarm will sound.
Should that work?
Yes correct but I made my own ambient sounds playlist using Nature Sounds and other soothing music for sleeping. I fall asleep to it. I have it on repeat so it loops. The volume levels can be customized to suit your needs and you can turn on repeat and shuffle.
I set mine up in the Home App using homekit to also turn lights on or off., some people use shortcuts. I’ve not used the timer method.
I believe that I've read that it will only play the ambient sounds for an hour.
Can HomePod play an ambient sound until my wakeup alarm?
