Options to trigger shortcut?
So far there are three methods I am aware of to trigger a shortcut in the native iOS Shortcut app:
- Use Siri
- Tap the shortcut in the iOS Shortcut app
- use personal automation
All of these require me to do something. Are there any other possibilities to do so? Background: I am running home assistant and HomeKit and would like to trigger a shortcut using intercom, to announce text to people in certain rooms/areas using HomePods there.
You're viewing a single thread.
Can you explain what you want to do? Did you say you are running a Home Assistant server?
You can absolutely announce custom text to HomePods using Home Assistant but I’m wondering why you need Shortcuts involved. Are you wanting to get personal data from a phone to announce? Like Health data?
Eg: when I turn off my bedside light after 8:30pm, my room HomePod announces if I’ve left any external doors open and which ones. If nothing is open it stays quiet.
