Really nice! Thanks! Unfortunately it’ll not work if the iPhone is locked. Meaning you can’t ask Siri to turn on the lights if the phone is laying down on a table, it’ll ask for to unlock the phone, same thing if you ask someone to turn on the lights from the widgets locked screen. If someone knows a way around it I’ll love to hear it. Thanks
How fun! A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏❤️
🙏 Thank you. You wouldn’t believe amount of convoluted ways that I’ve just read to simply toggle an automation using an NFC sticker. Nice and simply put. Cheeers
I enjoy the shortcut videos.
Many times it does so happen that I face a problem and Gary comes with the solution on the same day. Ha ha. Today I purchased my first Smart Light and was playing with that. MacMost came with help today only.
I really enjoyed your video but I got lost trying to build the all purpose shortcut.
I’d love to see the steps written so I could make this happen
🤙
Very useful!
I wonder if we can use the general purpose shortcut to make a broadcast to Google Devices.
If you can say it to the Google Assistant app, then it should work here. Try it.
Is there a way to sort the pined short cuts in mean bar in a particular order? I have recently modified some of them and had to re-pin them in the menu bar and their order has changed. I would like to have the most used one as the first one.
GREAT video! Thank you!
Thanks bunches
Yet another great shortcut to use. Does this work only with google, or also with other apps that are Google compatible? I use different apps for Globe lights and outlets, and a different app for my thermostat. It would be nice if I could control it all with just siri.
Those apps would need to add Shortcuts compatibility first. But if you have set up those lights and switches in the Google Assistant app, then you can use what I show here.
do you have idea for google home app? asistent not in my country 😴
Excellent video! Thank you!! This is exactly what I was looking for. Your directions were very clear and easy to follow and it works perfectly! Thanks so much! I have another issue that I also need help with. The round add shortcut button on google chrome on my Macbook Pro has disappeared. Is there a way to put it back on there?
Not sure what you are looking for. The description "The round add shortcut button on google chrome" doesn't run any bells.
@@macmost When I bring up google chrome browser there used to be a button that said add shortcut. When you click on it and then type a website in the search, it would save that website as a shortcut on google chrome browser.
@@karenhamer Do you mean like a bookmark? I guess I've never seen something called a "shortcut" in Chrome. If not a bookmark, what did a "shortcut" do that a bookmark did not?
@@macmost I guess maybe, but it's on my google chrome home page. It's round and says add shortcut. It places a shortcut or bookmark right there on the google chrome homepage so for frequent sites you don't have to search through all of your bookmarks. I really don't know how else to explain it. Do you have an email that I could send you a picture of it to help explain?
@@karenhamer Probably best to ask someone who is more of a Chrome expert. I use Safari mostly.
Nice video
Ok, just figured it out. Sort the short cuts in the Shortcuts App and the menu bar will show the same sort order.
Can you please create an automation for 'Enabling Wi-Fi Calling' as soon as I enter my office and 'Disabling Wi-Fi Calling' as soon as I leave my office network?
There would need to be a Shortcuts action for Wi-Fi Calling and there isn't. Probably because Wi-Fi Calling is a provider-specific function, not available to everyone.
You should do a video how to get google assistant if you are not in US because if you are in Europe countries you don’t see it in iStore sad😢😢😢😢😢
Shortcuts on iphones have limitless capabilities 😍
There A reason why this video was made. Google has infinitely more than apple
Cool
Is there a way for the google assistant not to open up after the command?
Not sure. You can always add a command to go to the Home Screen after it ends.
@@macmost I actually just added a Wait for 5 seconds, which is enough time usually for Google Assistant to get done turning on my dehumidifier. I could even lower it to 1 second.
Google assistant is no longer available on the app store :(
It isn't? Just looked and it definitely is.
@@macmost strange, it isn't showing on my app store. Must be restricted in my region :(
@@alexottley87 What region? I'd imagine a major Google app wouldn't be restricted like that.
@@macmost South Africa. When I search Google Assistant it gives me a list of every google app BUT the assistant
