Customise Your Voice Commands with Siri Shortcuts

Hey Siri: Good morning!

Scenes let you control any or all of your smart devices - lights, locks, or security system - with a single command.

Siri Shortcuts lets activate Scenes with your voice alone. Just use your Alarm.com app to set up a custom Siri voice command to trigger any Alarm.com scene—you can be as creative or as natural with your commands as you like—and get talking.

Combine Alarm.com commands with other apps

You can also use Apple's Shortcuts app to create multitasking shortcuts that combine Alarm.com actions with other app commands. It's a new way to eliminate ‘app overload' and weave your smart home's useful abilities closer together with the other technology you use every day.

For example, you could incorporate your "Sleep" Alarm.com scene into a "Good Night" Siri shortcut. As well as turning your lights down, locking the doors and arming the security system, you could have this shortcut set your iPhone's morning alarm and activate its "Do Not Disturb" mode.

For the morning, you could incorporate your "Away" Alarm.com scene into a "Heading Out" Siri shortcut that not only secures your house and turns the lights off, but also pulls up directions to your next calendar appointment via car, walking, or even the metro.
