Siri and Reminders

[TRICKorDEVICE]

Are you able to add a reminder with a date and a time to a specific Reminders list?

I use to be able to, but for several months it’s not working.

I would say “remind me about TPS Reports tomorrow at 2 pm and add it to my work list.” And it would work. It no longer works.

If you can get this to work, what language are you using?

It just worked for me on S7. Said, set reminder for 2pm today, set tennis reservations. It worked and updated my Mac simeltaneously Siri just doesn't speak now in Silent mode and did before on mine.

Thanks for checking, but are you able to have the reminder saved to a specific reminders list?

In my instance I have a separate Work list and I can't get it to add to that specific list. Can you?

Haven't done that yet but earlier added an item to Publix shopping list and that worked.

Just added "haircut" to TODO Today list. Wasn't sure which list I meant and gave me 2 options. Hit the right one and it worked.

It just tells me "You'll have to open the app" to create a reminder. It used to do it for me, and just ask for a confirmation that it got the details right. :/

Works for me on my series 6 running 10.1. added it the my "work" list.

Do you know what you said specifically to create the reminder? Thx

For those of you that it works, you’re able to have Siri set a reminder with a date AND a time AND add it to a specific list?

No couldn't get that to work. I said Siri add reminder to "cut grass at 2pm today" and it would add that reminder to reminders at 2pm.

I said Siri, add reminder to "cut grass to Publix list" and it did add "cut Grass" to the Publix list.

But I said Siri, add reminder to "cut grass at 2 pm today to the Publix list" and it just added "cut grass" to the Publix list but did not put the time.

Ok, I messed around with Smart Lists and got close but the only way I could get it to do what you want is in 2 steps.

Siri add reminder for "TPS reports" at 2pm tomorrow. Done

Siri add "TPS Reports" to Work List. Done

The Smart List thing is probably worth playing with but I just couldn't get it to post the correct time. It kept putting in 9am arbitrarily.

I wasn't even trying to create a reminder in a specific list y'day (just "remind me to X at ___ o'clock")... I'll have to play around with it.
