I have a string that turns on lights and starts shuffling a playlist. I have a shortcut to turn off the lights but don’t know how to add the “turn off music” command. I can turn off the lights with one command and then say “hey Siri stop music.” I want to create a shortcut “hey Siri turn off the lights and stop the music.” and have both events occur.
HomePod
You should be able to create a shortcut on your phone that does both actions, give it a name like Shut It Down, and then call it on your HomePod with "Hey Siri, shut it down".
Requires a little searching in Shortcuts to find the right app or control, but it should be possible.
BTW I tried calling it Shutdown but that seems to be a Siri keyword which clashed.

Good to know about Shutdown. I'm new to home automation. I also figured out I can do what I want with Scenes in Homekit.
I used to think I didn't need any of this home automation stuff but now that I have started to use it, I see all kinds of ways to use it.
Like everything else, it's a learning experience.
Thanks!
You're welcome. 🙂
