My favourite automation (for now) is getting an empty note on my homescreen each day. Its very handy to quickly write something down. Especially on iPad.

The fact that Americans have to tip restaurants is so bad. Food is expensive enough without paying the employee's wages too

Love the nfc use. We have been using them for shopping lists. But the tracker is a brilliant idea 🎉

The shortcut I use regularly is: Boiling eggs

I programmed it like this:
Click Boil eggs
Choose: hard, medium or soft egg

And then it sets the right timer for me!

I personally really like the focus mode feature that lets you have separate home screens, along with a similar automation setup to yours. I have a main home screen that has a few of my most used apps and then various more specialized home screens that can be accessed with the different focus modes. Might be a little extra, but I really like it.

Very good video, thx. 👍🏼 Would love if you had chapters, so if a shortcut is known to me I could skip to the next one etc.

The video that I didn't know I needed 🤯
Your video production and presentation is slick - don't change anything 👍

What is the device thingy on the table to the bottom left of your phone?

My most used automation is to trigger low battery mode when charge decreases below 50% (and vice versa), definitely slowing down deterioration of my battery

This is super handy! Unfortunately I can’t get the ETA text to work

[lukebottomfrags]

if you aren’t worried about data usage you can turn off wifi and then keep data on but turn off that specific app’s cellular data accessibility so that way you still have internet but no ads on the app

Had to smile when he showed the bill split for Restaurants. In many cultures, Splitting the bill is unseen. We usually fight who can pay lol.

The When to Leave is useless. Your calendar can already do that. Also no point setting up automation for focus modes. Focus mode already does that in Settings - it lets you choose when they get activated. Don’t need to invent the wheel in Shortucts.

Thanks for sharing the video, Sergio. I found a few ideas worth trying. One of them is to use NFC tags for the medication. Unfortunately I cannot find an action in Shortcuts app to log one. The closest is the Log a Health sample, however among the types there seems nothing like medication. Could you please elaborate on your method?

How do I get the switch between wallpaper automation
Can’t seem to find it

[Canelhaz]

Obrigado Sérgio!! Ótimo trabalho (sempre)!!

What if i want to use a different currency in the tip/split shortcut?

[fardanpatka]

Before setting up the automation of turning off wifi and Bluetooth when I leave my house as shown in the above, I had set up a focus mode which automatically use to trigger based on reaching a particular location.

Now after setting up the automation the focus mode doesn’t turn on when I reach that particular location.

Please help.
