You should be able to do this with Siri. You can use a shortcut if it doesn't work out of the box.


It works out of the box as of iOS 16 or 17.

“Hey Siri set an egg timer for 4 minutes”

The interface for switching between multiple timers sucks on the watch, the whole app does now. I don’t know how it’s handled on HomePods, though you can see them somewhere in the home app (yeah that’s discoverable).

But it works fine. And the interface is good on the phone.
