automation

Is there a way to set up Focus or use Shortcuts to have a specific Focus on for a set amount of time -- and then turn it off automatically after that amount of time? So far I can only seem to find how to turn it on and off automatically at specific times of day but what I really want is to turn...

I had a shortcut / automation set up where I would charge my iPhone, then Siri would say "Battery Charged" when it hit 100%. That worked great for well over a a year and 1/2. ( created using this YT video - ) After updating late week to iOS 17.3, it seemed to break it, smh. I see the shortcut...

I have two SIM's (phone numbers) in my iPhone, one for work and one for personal. For years I've been wanting a way to automatically have my work line turn off at 5:30pm each weekday, then turn back on at 9:00am. This is to prevent clients from calling / messaging me after hours, which they do...

Hi friends! I'm looking to see if it's possible to fix one of my biggest annoyances in macOS right now. I have a 14-inch notched MacBook Pro, where it makes sense to have the menu bar always visible (even in full screen apps). However, I use the Mac either docked or connected to a 16:9 monitor...

Hello there, Black Friday LAST YEAR :) I bought Controller for HomeKit - nice app. I bought it because in the website they write: TROUBLESHOOTING Your Automation was just executed! The device state has not changed in the last day. My problem is: I can't figure out from the examples how to...

I have HomeKit automations that adjust my ecobee thermostat temperature at certain times. Following the new HomeKit architecture upgrade, these automations have not been working. Any suggestions, please?

What Scenes do you use and what do they do? Mine: Good Night - Turns on nightlights around the home (1% brightness), turns off the rest of the lights, turns white noise machine on, turns porch light and seasonal smart switch (Halloween porch decorations, Christmas tree, etc.) off. Dinner...

Hey all. Was wondering if there’s a way to set a scene in HomeKit and have my Apple TV continue watching a show? I made a scene for my wife’s bedtime so the overhead light turns off, desk lamp dims to 5% but I don’t see a way to also trigger Apple TV to open Netflix and continue watching her...

I'm looking for music apps that support Apple Shortcuts Automation. The amount of apps that support launching a playlist is really limited (apart from Apple Music, iCatcher podcast, Overcast, Castro podcast player, Broadcasts - radio stations) and some apps that are connected to Apple Music...

For quite a while I've had my computer doing a nightly unattended restart, using a schedule in Energy Saver prefs. This means it's all logged-in (including several login items) and ready for the start of the day. It seems to have worked well as a strategy for keeping the system running well...

I have recently moved to a new address and have changed my home address in my contacts card, in maps as well as in my Apple ID settings. Since moving my lights will randomly go off and music will pause at the same time randomly on my HomePods/Apple TV. I was confused why this happened, until I...

Does anybody use both Alfred and Keyboard Maestro? I'm an Alfred fanboy but from what I understand the main difference between the two is that KM has macro features. Doesn't Automator do the same thing as KM or am I missing something?

Recently got a smart plug and was interested to see if I could set up an automation that would allow it to stop charging at 80 (or whatever percentage). Was able to do this as a normal shortcut but automations, from what I understand, can only be done through the home app, which can only be...
