I am trying to create a shortcut to be ablebe able to voice trigger a trigger a preset on a Casper adjustable bed app on the iPhone.
I need this for a handicapped person with severe visual problems. She need to be able to tell Siri to put bed to sleep mode or to put bed into lounge mode which was reprogrammed for an orientation to help her get out of bed without falling on the floor.

Re: Voice trigger for Casper bed presets on iPhone
Am no expert in this area, yet, with your kind and thoughtful assistance to the other person in mind, your request surely deserves some response. We don't know your level of expertise, so please excuse if any or all of the info. below using Apple Support's documentation is not needed. If so, then let us know more about your needs.
It may be worthwhile to check the person's iPhone is updated to the newest compatible iOS version first.
(You can check in Settings > General > Software updates, to see if updates are available. NB: It is wise to back up the iPhone's data before updating: If needed: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support )
Then ensure the correct iOS version shows, or is chosen, at top of any articles below for accurate info.
I'm guessing the Casper bed is able to connect either wired or wirelessly to the iPhone, for control.
There may or may not be an app available to install on the iPhone, and which may or may not provide some controls.
