Thanks for the solution. 

I decided to go with;

Sonos Play 1

Flip digital clock app

Existing Ipad Mini

Twelve South Hi Rise Stand (Charging)

Whilst this doesn't play with the B and O its a simple and elegant solution that I can live with until B and O get their app to behave like a clock radio.

I considered this and my B and O guy wasn't very enthusiastic given that it needed a BeoLink Wireless 1 bolted on. 

Obviously I would need both of these as second hand options. 

Has anyone had any experience with a 3500 playing nice with Wireless?

Why not use a BeoLab 3500?

?- BL3500 can`t create a timerplay on its own. 

You will need a Beovision that controls the BL3500 with its Timer on/off function.

A very goog standalone Beo solution for the nightstand is:

- ipad (2 or 3)

- Beo A3

- Beoplayer iphone app.

Beoplayer app got a (very beoish) timer feature with three options of alarm sounds:

- Beotime (exactly the chiming Beotime sound we all know...)

- select a song

- select a radiostation

Unfortunately all three products are discontinued (!!!) but still available I think.
