So far there are three methods I am aware of to trigger a shortcut in the native iOS Shortcut app:
- Use Siri
- Tap the shortcut in the iOS Shortcut app
- use personal automation
All of these require me to do something. Are there any other possibilities to do so? Background: I am running home assistant and HomeKit and would like to trigger a shortcut using intercom, to announce text to people in certain rooms/areas using HomePods there.

Nothing fancy. Just the alarms from the clock app on the iPhone. For example the wake up alarm, that the health app automatically creates from you sleep schedule. I also wanted to use a motion detector as a trigger, but it is not possible to use HomeKit devices to trigger personal automations. I guess, I’m stuck with time-based announcements for now.
