    SSH Shortcuts Fail on Apple Watch

    Hi, all. I have made some new Shortcuts that use the “Run script over SSH” action to interact with with my home router. The Shortcuts all work correctly on my iPhone and my iPad.

    Shortcuts working for anyone on Monterey?

    Hi, I played around with the shortcuts app on Monterey and made some attempts to create one to save articles as a pdf to a folder, but either nothing happens (it runs and says done, though) or it says 'safari reader not available'. Any ideas?

    Location to iOS Calendar Event Automation

    HomeKit How to get Siri to stop announcing "Done"?

    After I say "Hey Siri, lamp on", Siri turns off the lamp -- yay, thank you Siri -- but Siri goes on a monologue like some frustrated aging stage actor telling me how he did it, what he did, and saying my name. Is there a way to just Siri to complete a shortcut silently?

    use Shortcut widget *with* custom icon in Today View screen

    I can add Shortcuts widget to my Today View screen with a generic widget background. (It's an email action so it shows the email icon).

    Watch OS 7 - Shortcuts now need "Run" or "Cancel" w/ Siri

    I arm and disarm the alarm on my house with a Siri shortcut. Prior to Watch OS 7, I simply raised my wrist and spoke the Siri shortcut. Now the new shortcuts app opens and requires me to press "Run" or "Cancel". Is there a way to run Siri Shortcuts on my watch w/o having to press "Run" - Thank you!

    Typed Siri Commands in Shortcuts?

    Since the Apple Music app doesn't display song release dates, unless you navigate to the album, I want to type out the Siri command "When was this song released" to run as a shortcut. Is that possible?
