Q: Siri HomeKit priority.

From iOS 10, when i tell siri:

 

 

Ehi Siri, good night.

 

 

She answer to me "Good night to you" and then add a button to activate the "Good night scene".

 

 

Before iOS 10, she answered activating the scene.

 

 

How i can adjust the Siri priority to home kit?

 

 

Thanks.

    Hi martinoroberto,

    Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Community! I understand you're wanting Siri to activate a scene in the Home app when you use a certain command. I can understand wanting to make sure your scenes are working as you expect. 

    First, you'll want to make sure that your scene is set up.

    Create a scene to control multiple accessories

    Scenes let you control multiple accessories at the same time. For example, you might create a scene called "Arrive home" that turns on all of the lights and unlocks the front door—all with a single tap. To create a scene:

        1.    Open the Home app and tap the Home tab or Rooms tab, then tap .
        2.    Tap Add Scene.
        3.    You can use a suggested scene or create a custom one.
        4.    Tap Add or Remove Accessories.
        5.    Tap the accessories that you want to add, then tap Done. 
        6.    Touch and hold an accessory to adjust its settings.
        7.    To preview the scene, tap Test This Scene. Want to access your scene from the Home tab, Control Center, and your Apple Watch? Turn on Show in Favorites.
        8.    To finish, tap Done.

    Tap the scene to turn it on or off, or just ask Siri. You can add or remove accessories from a scene at anytime. Just touch and hold a scene, then tap Details. Want a scene to automatically run at a certain time, location, when a sensor detects something, or when accessory turns on or off? Learn how to automate your accessories.


    Once your Scene is set up, you can use Siri Commands to control different scenes from your Home app.

    Control your home with Siri

    After you add accessories to Home, you can control your accessories and scenes with Siri commands. Here are some things you can ask Siri, depending on your accessories, their names, and your scenes:

    • “Turn off the lights in the family room.”
    • “Set brightness to 55%.” 
    • “Set the temperature to 68 degrees.” 
    • "Did I lock the front door?” 
    • "I’m home."
    • “Turn on the fan in the office.” 
    • “Set my reading scene.” 
    • “Turn off the lights in the Chicago house.” 


    When you lock your device, some accessories can’t be controlled by Siri commands. For example, you need to unlock your device before you can use Siri to unlock your door.

    Siri availability varies by country and language. Learn which Siri features are supported in which countries.

    Take care.

    Hi @jameson.h and thanks for your answer...

    but i have my Home App configured successfully and is working great. The only thing that doesn't work is the Goodnight scene.

     

     

    I have to tell "Ehi siri activate the goodnight scene" to activate it.

    Before iOS10 i could activate the scene telling to siri only "ehi siri, goodnight".

     

     

    This is my problem..

     

     

    Thanks
