Very useful and appreciate your work on this.....Cheers

So glad it’s been working Ian! And that part of the automation is tough since the address / location changes every trip. And you can’t “auto create” an automation based on a trigger. I’ll keep thinking though 🤔

Here’s my favorite new shortcut/ automation. When my phone connects to CarPlay, it uses an automation to turn on my fave Sirius channel on the app and then drop down a menu of my other fave channels at the same time in case I want to listen to something else. The menu is a shortcut that I also keep on my drive focus mode phone screen so I can access it at any time - because the Sirius app interface is crap.

Building off the pet feeding shortcut. I’ve got a complicated request. Can you make a shortcut that runs on specific days assigned to specific people to log if each dog eat their entire meal a.m. and p.m. and also ask if they had any potty accidents in the house and record number one number two and approximate time, they pooped outside and if they did was it normal or something else. This would be a huge tremendous help to my big family Keeping track of our four dogs!

Thanks Stephen for this series on Shortcuts. Isnt' there a shortcut on iPhone as it is that prompts one to send the shortcut to the chosen contact from a sharesheet to in any installed app? One can adopt your Hotel Room # app in a new location to find her way back to the place where she is staying. 🙂

REQUEST: Have you covered a shortcut for whenever someone is to take a photo of their dog (or animal of choice), to then add this into a shared folder?

Just come across your channel via Matthew Cassenelli's website. Subscribed immediately. Your snake feeding shortcut would work excellently with an NFC tag (attached to the tank - sorry if that's not the right term for a snake's house)

I just had an idea. Normally I use my action button for the flashlight, I could instead use a shortcut to only toggle the flashlight if nothing else fits. The other thing (so far) would be to create a reminder of the current running podcast episode and the time to get back to that exact spot later - if a podcast is running. I couldn’t figure out how to get that data, is this possible?

One shortcut I made that I like is my iPhone and Watch automatically turn silent mode on when I disconnect from my Wi-Fi network, because I want it to be silent when I'm outside. My AirPods Pro also automatically turn on transparency mode. When I'm back home connected to my wi-fi network my phone and watch automatically turn silent mode off.

is there a way to create a shortcut/automation, that I can use an NFC tag with, to log when I take my daily medicine? I have my medicine set up in the "Medicine" app for my apple watch, and I know how to use NFC's to trigger shortcuts and automations, but I haven't been able to find a way to specifically "log medicine as taken", with a shortcut or automation. I saw one youtube video do it, but they could only do it by creating a Reminder, and having the NFC trigger that Reminder to be "Marked as completed', but not one that could actually log the medicine. You can skip the NFC tag part as the trigger being that part of the process is easy for me, but if you can find a way to create a shortcut/automation that will actually log my medicine as taken, that would be fantastic!
