I made a shortcut that is supposed to run a homekit scene. It works fine on the phone. When I try to run it with the watch it says checking the app....then either says there was something wrong or says “okay.” But doesn’t run the scene. The last time I tried it it said “shortcuts will finish that act.” Or something to that effect. I try it on the phone and it works. Seems the watch is t interacting with shortcuts properly or something.

You can also run any shortcut by asking Siri. Look for the Add to Siri button in your favorite apps and tap to add with your own personal phrase. Or go to Settings to find all shortcuts available on your device.
Shortcuts that require an app to open on your iOS device might not work on HomePod and Apple Watch.
No. I looked it up and apparently it is an issue others are having. I don’t know if it’s exclusive to HomeKit or happening with all shortcuts. The posts I have read are of people
Having the same issue where they make a Siri shortcut with their phone and then it won’t run properly via the watch. I can open and close the garage door on the watch both by pressing and by speaking...but my Siri shortcut won’t run properly.
The shirt if I’m trying to run is from the HOME app, which if you can’t run a home shortcut from the watch, it really hinders the Home app. I should be able to create a shortcut to run a scene and then run it from my watch. Please fix this issue.
I just tried a different shortcut that has worked over the watch in the past....doesn’t work. Something happened with the last watch OS update and now shortcuts don’t work on the watch.....at all....fix it please.
