Creating Scenes and Automations for the Yardian Pro HomeKit Sprinklers Accessory using Apple Home and Shortcuts apps
Introduction
Yardian Pro is categorized as a Apple HomeKit Sprinkler s accessory in Apple Home. However, the Shortcuts app doesn’t directly support control for this type of accessory. To navigate this, we recommend creating Scenes using apps like “Eve for Matter & HomeKit” or “Controller for HomeKit”. Subsequently, you can use the Shortcuts app to control these Scenes. This article will demonstrate how to create Scenes and add a Shortcut to your iPhone home screen using the “Eve for Matter & HomeKit” app. Additionally, we’ll guide you in creating an Automation to execute the Scene, enabling zone 1 to run for 5 minutes daily at sunset.
