    Wow. A modern tech guy that's main phone is an iPhone 7/8 respect bro
  • @willwildwest31
    Is there a way to create a short cut that wakes up the apple tv, opens youtube, and plays a specific youtube video in it?
  • @myHomeKithome
    That morning briefing shortcut makes me rethink my HomePod morning briefing shortcut. Pretty sweet!
  • @dkgrant61
    I noticed that your apple remote has some type of cool cover on it? What is it? It seems to give in a little more heft. Thank you so much for your videos. I've learned so much and have began setting mine up. You are a rock star
  • @esoel
    I appreciate your effort into trying to figure out useful things to do with the little tools that Apple provided but I don't see myself using any of these. I think they got so close to making something useful but stopped short of it. IMO the main problem is the inconsistencies between apps. Eg I tried to do a "what did they say" shortcut, to rewind a few secs and turn on the subs for a minute, but it didn't work on 3rd party players... I like the snack time one though, I just don't have enough lights automated yet, for it to be useful to me...
  • @DoItForMeSolutions
    Great info on all the shortcut functions for AppleTV. Is it still true that you can't have the AppleTV directly open a specific movie or video in a specific video app? E.G. creating a shortcut that will open Disney and immediately start playing an episode of the Mandalorian? I still see many people preferring to use the Roku streaming media player because it has an API that allows that level of integration and some smart home platforms fully support it. Interestingly, I noticed that Home Assistant stated that do support these kinds of "deep links" with AppleTV app and media content. Haven't tried it yet, but wondering why HA can do it but you can't do it with Apple's own Shortcut system? (I would be glad to learn if this is no longer true, but haven't found anything that shows how to do it directly with Apple Shortcuts at this time?)
  • @hemiedsel7665
    ❤Thx bro, I have nanoleaf for backlight too, wondering how to set the 4D mirroring light after waking up TV😂 also I found myself couldn't set the light off after turning off TV 😢 any advice?
  • @barronhead
    Hi, nice video, thanks. I have a question, do you know if there is a shortcut to set the Apple TV off in a x time?
  • @VioletTheCamaro
    Very detailed information. When creating a shortcut is there a way to save the Apple TV name in a variable incase it changes or you can use 1 shortcut for all your devices. I don’t want it to ask every time as I use my main one 90% of the time.
  • @TGD3476
    Muy interesante! Me guardó varios!
  • @AlexandreGiess
    Is it possible to create a morning briefing shortcut that automatically runs at a certain time every day? Currently, I have a HomeKit scene set up for my home that turns on the lights and Apple TV at 7:15 am. I was wonderingssible to have a weather app displayed on the TV after the scene if it's also po runs.
  • @kavehnazeri
    @AdamsTechLife Is there anyway to design a shortcut to mute an apple tv?
  • @AlexManMe
    1:55 I have an old iPhone X laying around if I created a shortcut on that, would it work even if my main phone isn’t on the same network?
