Hi,
You may be talking about a couple of different things here:
It is possible to start content playing on the Apple TV from your
iPhone using airPlay - E.G. you can find a song in your iTunes library
or on your network via your iPhone and then stream it to the TV
without interacting with the TV
You cannot do this with Siri, but you can go into the alarm app and check up to
seven days into the future when you might want an alarm.
