Is there any way to share shortcuts with others? Example if I build some amazing shortcut and wanted to share it with other HomeKit users.

@beardfm 24 күн бұрын

Home automations can’t be shared specifically, but you can build a bunch of steps in a normal shortcut and then share that link. Then show people how to program the automation. That’s what i did here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bcp8jJiA0tCof4U.htmlsi=Xsulxxb8ethCAHmx

Awesome! I'm glad I found you! Lots of good info. Requesting a video that expands on the mini fridge notification after 60 secs. I would like to program a bed sensor when opened for 5 minutes to start a scene to start my coffee maker, raise the shades and set the temp.

@beardfm 19 күн бұрын

Glad you found the channel! Will work on this, but unfortunately a 5 min delay would take using a Wait Shortcurs actions and those get unreliable after several minutes. Will see!

Great video as always. I'm just wondering why your Contact Sensors are near the bottom of your doors?

Another great video! That pool gadget is very interesting! Shortcut request, if possible. I'm interested in a shortcut that would perform an action, like turning a light red or something like that, when NWS issues a weather warning in my area. I receive those as notifications on my phone but it would be very handy to have a visual alert, especially for my elderly parents who don't hear well or tech savvy. Thanks!!

Great ideas for contact sensors. It would be nice to have that Home status shortcut. How can we do that?

Here’s mine, but you’ll need to customize with your home devices: www.icloud.com/shortcuts/1458b5e45adc451fb104275c7018d923

Can you make a shortcut with the action button where when I ask Chat GPT something and when it answers the question it can immediately speak the answer instead of having to reading it ?

@recepvural 16 күн бұрын

After ending phone call I usually call someone mistakenly from recents with a one touch. Can you please create a shortcut to expect an approval in recents part ?

@wscottfunk 25 күн бұрын

Hey Stephen, is there a particular reason that you mounted your contact sensors at the bottom of your doors instead of at the top? Seems like mounting on the bottom could be an issue if something or someone bumped into the sensor. Thanks for sharing all your automations! I got a couple of great ideas as a result!

@beardfm 24 күн бұрын

Glad it sparked some ideas! I just prefer the visual appeal of having them at the bottom. But to your point I've had one or two come off in high-traffic areas. Considering the number I've used, it's only been once or twice so not enough to discourage my low placement 😅

Shortcut has custom notification options. Why use pushcut?

@AlexManMe 25 күн бұрын

8:59 could you create a video on how to use camera motion sensors to trigger lights? Due to the type of sensor this is not reliable because it detects the lights turning off as a motion, so it ends up turning the lights in the room into disco lights. 😀

@beardfm 24 күн бұрын

haha that's a real issue! You should be able to customize "when detect motion" and instead of all motion, just choose people and/or animals. Will look into it!

That motion + temperature automation is absolutely achievable via a Shortcut in the Home app.

For sure it is, I just found it easier and more straightforward to use the Eve app.

Great video! I’ve noticed that automations I have set up in my bathroom for the Lutron lights and Aqara p1 motion sensor work creat as a single step but when I use convert to shortcut with multiple steps it is hit or miss. Is there any way to fix this?

@beardfm 24 күн бұрын

What steps are you adding? If you're doing long wait commands sometimes I've found that cause automations to fail.

@jasonbreaux7586 24 күн бұрын

@@beardfm that may be it. I have a 10 minute wait and the it will check if the door is closed so it won’t turn off the lights while we’re in the shower. Do you have a suggestion for a better way to set it up?

@gavin1215 25 күн бұрын

I’ve tried the vibration sensor on a drier and I just could not get it to work. Push cuts would spam my phone as I’m not sure the sensor is good for a 100 percent duty cycle.

@goneskis 24 күн бұрын

Same. That Aqara vibration is super unreliable. Ended up just using a power point energy monitor instead.

@beardfm 24 күн бұрын

It does depend on the washer and how it "moves." I've added a couple wait commands and check again or vibration to prevent false positives in-between cycles.
