How to properly set up IOS device for SIRI usage - SOLUTION


Question

Posted

If anyone by chance had some difficulties with setting up IOS devices for using SIRI commands, here is a description. As probably anyone can know from Fibaro manuals, that SIRI coomands can be used only through Shortcuts / (it is an application in IOS systems, so download it first)

Initially we had problems with shortcuts, becuase not all of Fibaro scenes used to show up in available / selectable scene's list for certain shortcuts, and we were not able to determine, why some scenes are not showed up and some scenes are.

Today i finally got the answer, so i wanna share with you what is the trick behind it, as it is not described in any Fibaro manuals.

1. So first of all, create a shortcut in IOS device. (in the Shortcut application)

2. Select Home center app from the list of avilable applications (after pressing the + button for creating a new shortcut)

3. Select the scene from the list that you want to be run by SIRI voice commands.

 

And here is the trick..If the scene is not visible, that you are looking for, it is because only the FAVORITE scenes will be available..So head back to your Favorite panel, and make the desired scene as Favorit, then you will be able to see it, and select it for a Shortcut.

From that point on, you will be able to use a SIRI voice command, to activate your scene.

 

I hope this will be helpful for other users, becuase to be honest, we couldn't find this answer nearly one year...

    Well, if you set up everything as I recommended, and it still doesn't work, it can be some issue that support should look at, or maybe some accessibility issue..idk, i would go for a support ticket

    Hello, it didn't work. I created two new scenes in HC3 and made them Favourite in Yubii. But the new scenes didn't appear in the list of available scenes in the Shortcut app (only the old ones).  A restart of both apps didn't help.

    It is working. Several customers are using it at this moment. I am not a fan of IOS systems, so i rather can assist with google, but as for now, it is working. I dont know, how much time does it take to synchronize the two systems. Maybe scene is not accessable for the user you trying to access it with. I dont know.

    I tried this for so many times and when I run the shortcut on my iPhone I always get: ‘sorry could not run scene’ 

    any ideas?

    The scene must be set us favorite, and the user must have access to it. We ofcourse are not IOS experts, this solution we only found accidentally. It still works for our users. I dont have any other knowledge about IOS setups or IOS specific solutions.

    keep in mind that on IOS18 this will not work because Yubii/home center scene's are non existing in shortcuts, even though they are a favourite...
