Theater mode schedule?

[twanj]

I really wish there was this, or do I not know how to do it?

Basically, I'd like my watch to be in Theater mode when it's in DND.

There's been a couple nights when I've woken up and seen it and woken up more than I wanted to.

You can't automate it, but its pretty easy to hit the DND at the same time right?

You can set your Watch to turn on DND when you turn it on, on your iPhone as well:
- Watch App > General > Do not Disturb > Mirror iPhone = ON

No, I have DND on a schedule...That's great.

I just forget to put it in Theater mode every night.

Use the “Due” app to remind you to set “Theater mode.” Great app. Much better than Remimders. I use it to remind me to charge my watch, running gear, and many other things.

My WWDC 2020 Wishlist | Becky Hansmeyer

A way to automatically put my Apple Watch in theater mode at night so I don’t accidentally blind myself every time I move.

It's incredible how this is still not a feature in 2020...

It’s been on my wishlist ever since the S2 came out. Still waiting.

Isn’t this what sleep mode does? I believe this turns on DND and theatre mode.
if you setup a schedule you don’t even have to remember to turn it on/off.

It is though. In watchOS 7 you can set up an automation to turn on and off theater mode.

The stock Sleep app turns on and off DND automatically.

Can't seem to find the "Watch". Does it require WatchOS7? Jailbroken at the moment, can't update... 😕

I do something similar. Every night an automation runs (via the Shortcuts apps) that:

- sets the watch face to Extra Large in red (this is the dimmest screen I can find and red light is the least blinding)
- do not disturb on until 7.00am the next day
- theatre mode on

Now I have the Series 6 I need to add 'switch AOD' off too.
