Ringer Sound Automation
I would like to set an automation that turns my ringer volume down to 10% during the sleeping hours. DND doesn't offer this, and Alarm doesn't allow me to designate the volume.

Hi 3bops,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you're looking for a way to change the volume during specific hours. We're happy to assist.
We recommend taking a look at the shortcuts feature to see if creating a shortcut may assist with your needs. You can find basic information from the article here: Run shortcuts with Siri, the Shortcuts app, or Siri Suggestions You can also view the guide here: Shortcuts User Guide
Best!
Hi 3bops,
Thanks for the information. We'd like to provide some details from the Shortcuts guide to help. The following automations cannot be run automatically:
You can view more details from the section "Enable an automation to run without asking" from the Shortcuts guide here: Enable or disable a personal automation
If you'd like you can also leave feedback for the feature here: iPhone Feature Feedback
We hope the information helps.
Cheers!
Hi 3bops,
We wanted to ensure you had the information regarding automations that can't be run automatically. You can run automations with the assistance of "Hey Siri" as outlined in the article sent from our first response.
Additionally, - Does the automation run as expected when you run it manually per the steps in the guide here?: Create a new personal automation
Also, when an issue occurs is the screen locked, or is your device in use? We also recommend checking to ensure the Shortcuts app has access when viewing your privacy settings.
If all the settings are correct, and you continue to have any other issues with the Shortcuts app or automations, get help where you are here: Get Support
Best!
Thank you.
Thank you. I greatly appreciate the support.
Please forgive me, but how can an option for an automation not inherently run automatically?
Can't the time alone trigger the action? Seems simple enough.
It does work some times, but it seems to "remember" that it can't, or perhaps something is running in the background that prevents it. Or, even it won't work if my phone is locked?
I'm not sure what the situation is, but it is relatively confusing as to why there is this hiccup.
