Home automation allows you to automate accessories and scenes in your home when an event occurs. You can also create advanced home automation using actions. Advanced home automation allows you to use logic to control devices—for example, If the temperature is above 70º F, then turn on my fan.
In the Shortcuts app, tap Automation , or if you’ve already created an automation, tap in the upper-right corner.
Tip: If you configure an accessory to turn on with home automation, you can set it to turn off after a specified amount of time.
Touch and hold an accessory to configure it.
To test your automation, tap Test This Automation.
Tap Done.
Converting a home automation to a shortcut allows you to combine actions to automate accessories around your home based on logic and data from outside sources.
In Shortcuts, tap Automation , or if you’ve already created an automation, tap in the upper-right corner.
Select the options for the trigger, then tap Next.
Tap Convert To Shortcut.
