HomeKit add Siri shortcut into HomeKit scene

[fastbagger]

I currently have a scene setup where I say "good night" and turns off all of the lights in my house. I also have a Siri shortcut where I say "alarm off/home/away" that controls my home security system. Anyone know of a way where I can implement the Siri shortcut into my "good night" scene where will turn lights off AND activate my security system? Thanks.

You can’t add shortcuts to scenes. You have to add scenes to shortcuts.

Thanks for response but I am confused how do I do this.

Hmmm only issue I am having is I cannot rename the shortcut to "good night" as it says I have same name in the Home app, which is incorrect because I deleted it.

Look at my pic again. You have to rename your scene. You can never use the Good Night/Morning names because they are scene names. That’s because you can still run those scenes without running the shortcuts. In my pic you see what I’ve named my shortcuts.

Side note: You can get even fancier if you have an Watch and use the Sleep app. With both you can set up Personal Automations. So when Bedtime happens it automatically runs my Night Night shortcut. And when I stop the alarm in the morning it runs my Rise And Shine shortcut.
