I'm using Apple Homekit with several Homepod minis and AppeTV 4K / iPad Pro.

For some reason i don't find any option to get notifications when any sensor detects a certain status.

e.g.

"When the window sensor is 15 minutes opened then notify me via Siri on my Homepod A to close the window"

"When the temperature reading on Homepod B is lower than XY degrees then notify me via Siri on all Homepods about low temperatures in this room"

"When the humidity reading on Homepod B is lower than 40% then notify me via Siri on all Homepods about dry air in this room"

"When the light in room YZ is active for more than 2 hours then notify me on iPhone if i really still need the light"

or

"Remind us every sunday at 10:00am to do certain maintenance work at home on every Homepod via Siri voice"

or

"When a smartplug is active then use Shortcut Name "XYZ". I have to set up a shortcut automation manually for every single smartplug. No way to direct to a saved shortcut.

This was all very easy to set up with Amazon Echos, on HomePods/Homekit i can't see these basic features. Am i blind?

😕

Please help, pappl
