Shortcut to run Home Scenes

Hi everyone- I’m trying to make a simple Shortcut which shows me a list of my Scenes in Home, allow me to choose one and run it. I was able to use HomeBot shortcut (Get…), and follow with ‘List…’, but I can’t seem to figure out how to run the scene. Ideally, I’d like to customize the list of scenes to only show a few, not all of them. Any suggestions?

Thanks. John

Hi John,

I believe all you need to do is to create a shortcut using the action “Choose from menu”

Because you areusing HomeBot you can work more dynamically with scenes rather than having to hard code every possible option into a list,

For HomeBot, this should retrieve the list and allow you to set a scene upon selection.

Limiting your scenes is generally a bit more involved, but entirely possible. This shortcut provides just a few ways to limit your list, but there may be others more appropriate to your needs. As always, it depends upon your build/limit criteria.

I configured this for my two scenes with “Office” in the name that I can use to turn my office lights on/off as a scene.

Hope that helps.

Thanks so much- I’ll give it a try!

Excellent! Great to have options. I’ll give it a try as well.
