There's no easy way to do this. If you are good with software people have managed to make B&O IR decoders on Arduino and other platforms. It should be possible to write code that receives the IR codes and converts them to BlueTooth commands on an Arduino or RaspberryPi.

A lovely idea. IR control (Beotime, Beo 4...) for the newer Bang & Olufsen Bluetooth products. You would need an infrared to bluetooth converter. Those things were / are available e.g. from Logitech and RE-BL (there's a PUC from B&O for the RE-BL, too) to control the Sony Playstation 3.1.) RE-BL: http://www.re-bl.com/ (only PS3 as far as I know)2.) ir to Bluetooth for Playstation 4: https://www.amazon.com/PlayStation-Receiver-Logitech-Harmony-Control-4/dp/B01K3VMBM0#customerReviews
But the question is if it is pairable to a B&O Bluetooth speaker and how it reacts.
Isn't there an alarm function in the M5? I know there is in the M3.
This is not the answer to your question, but it may solve your problem..
