So at the title suggests I'm looking to have a specific playlist in iTunes play to an AirPlay speaker at a specific time. Like every Monday at 8AM play/shuffle the "case of the Mondays" playlist to the iHome speaker.

I'm sure there is some wizardry I can build with Automator or even AppleScript but maybe I'm over-thinking this and there is a really simple solution that I'm just not thinking about. I have Macs that are running 24/7 and old 1st Gen iPad minis (iOS 9) that are available for specific duty such as this.

I'm not interested in buying a HomePod right now, though someday maybe. I don't have an old Airport Express or Extreme available for AirPlay 2 right now either. Well, maybe I have the Extreme, but I don’t know where it is and think I donated it already.

I do have Plex that also has the same library available to it and can use Plex for the audio source instead if that has better options.
