    Steevio, do you actually mean a shortcut? Or do you mean giving the request to Siri for the Home app?  I can report that geofencing within the Home app works the same as a geofence automation withi...

    Steevio, funny. Well, I've posted the instructions for anyone who might need them. FYI, my understanding is the Homebridge service should always run. It's just a software way of doing a hardware (t...

    Steevio Actually, I don't think you need the Shortcuts. (But, I'll do an explanation in a second.) I just added my Kasa plugs to Home via Homebridge. And assigned the plugs to rooms. With Alexa, if...

    Adding to this thread: In doing some research on this MyQ mess, I came upon (or knew from the past) Siri Shortcuts which had been posted through Reddit related to MyQ. Of course, now, with the API ...

    I've found location triggers to often be hit & miss. Not only with Alexa, but when I was using SmartThings before the MyQ API broke that, many times the location trigger would work, then I'd get to...
