Summary:
HomeKit automation is an incredibly useful feature. However, one of my automations is to turn off my lights and turn everything off when I go to bed. The time I have set is a static 12:00 AM, however, if the Home app could grab the bedtime set in the Clock app, it would provide more flexibility as to when the lights turn off depending on the day of the week or if I need to stay up late, etc.

Steps to Reproduce:
- Open Home app
- Tap Automation tab
- Create new automation based on "A Time of Day Occurs"
- Look for "Bedtime" option

Expected Results:
- There should be a "Bedtime" option with the time set in the Clock app

Observed Results:
- No such option exists and a static time must be chosen

Version:
iOS 11 Beta 4 (15A5327g)

Notes:
Considering that the Health app is able to determine the amount of time slept based on the Bedtime feature in the clock app, Home should be able to access it in a similar manner as well.

Configuration:
Philips Hue Lights + Bridge Starter Kit, Light Model LWB014, Base Model BSB002
iDevices Switch, Model ADEV0001 (v. 1.7.16)
