Smart appliances are great, but you don’t always want to tell Siri, or get your phone out to turn a light on or off. Sometimes the most comfortable way to control your smart appliances is by using programmable remotes or switches, motion control sensors, as well as automation. And if you’re not living alone, this could be a deal breaker. Smart appliances are supposed to make things easier, not harder. And things you do many times every day have to be super simple and convenient.
I’ll be posting tips on how to use the things you already have (and things you might want to get), and how to get the most out of them. There will be everything from very simple to more advanced HomeKit shortcuts, if you haven’t made your first HomeKit shortcut yet, I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it quickly, and think about smart home automations that can help in your home.
Thank you for creating this blog!
I was looking into how I could control my Hue lights, and didn’t realize the tools were built right into HomeKit! Your time of day + sunrise shortcut is almost exactly what I wanted as a first project.
I’m a web developer, so scripting isn’t a new idea for me … but it’s nice to see exactly how to make it work.
Thanks again, and please keep writing!
Thanks Liz 🙂 Glad you like it
