Description

HomeBot for Shortcuts allows you to automate your HomeKit setup in a powerful new way. HomeBot exposes the following Shortcuts actions:
• Run Home Actions: This powerful action allows you to apply four types of HomeKit actions in bulk to the input items: Trigger Scene, Switch Device Status, Change Device Property and Change Primary Home.
• Get Home Items: Lists all HomeKit items and allows you to filter them with lot of configurable parameters like type (scenes, devices, device groups, rooms and homes), service type (like lightbulb, outlet, thermostat), name, room, home, activation status and a lot more! The action output includes all these fields, device properties (like light brightness or a thermostat target temperature) and additional sensor information (like temperature, humidity, air quality).
Action Types:
• Trigger Scene: Allows you to trigger one or multiple HomeKit scenes.
• Switch Device Status: Activate, deactivate or toggle one or multiple device or device groups.
• Change Device Property: Allows you to change any supported device or device group property (like light brightness or thermostat target temperature; see the notes below for the full list).
• Change Primary Home: Set the default HomeKit home. Changing you primary home will propagate the change to all your devices and Siri will also automatically use your selected primary home by default
With these actions you can automate HomeKit in a lot of new ways and HomeBot includes some example shortcuts to show its power in action:
• Trigger Scenes: Lists all scenes available in you primary home and allows you to choose the ones to trigger in bulk.

HomeBot for Shortcuts Reviews

Concept Stage

Mr Bruce Jones on

United States

I like the concept as it adds two nice features to Apple’ Shortcuts for getting and changing HomeKit data. The major downside is the almost total lack of documentation (except for a few limited examples. The issue is that though there are only two new Shortcut items, each has lots of sub-values which can be entered…. Manually debugging with the sample screen coming up each run is annoying . How do I turn that off? A little polishing is needed

Awesome app!

Just wish there was a way to round the temperature sensor measurements report to display temperatures to a whole or a tenth degree.

Revert to Previous Status?

BarclayMcRae on

United States

I am trying to figure an automation for the HomeKit to allow a motion detector to trigger an action to first record the Power State, Hue, Color Temp, Saturation, and Brightness on a specific light. Then set to a specific scene for a few minutes that changes that light. Then the trick…. Revert to those recorded settings. I see these two shortcut tools that your app adds are in the true ShortCut app only, not in HomeKit ShortCuts that I can find…. How would I ever trigger anything for your tools with a HomeKit Motion Detector? Probably not the right application. Hopefully Apple opens the power of HomeKit ShortCuts to tools like yours…. I might have bought this without any real purpose for me…. Unless you tell me a way to do my Revert to previous status effort? Looks more powerful than I understand. But at the same time, apparently limited by Apple…. Giving a good rating as I bet it does what it says it does properly….
