Advanced control from my Apple Watch using single automations: setting lights, vacuum, temperature, sleep mode, and more!

I shared this on Reddit and got a lot of positive reactions, so I thought folks here might find it useful too.

Check out my (well documented) home-assistant-config on GitHub: https://github.com/basnijholt/home-assistant-config/ with more than 100 automations!

The relevant files for the Apple Watch automations are:

Most of the menu options activate a single automation that use the new wait_for_trigger feature.

That looks awesome! I’ve tried replicating it but I keep struggling to actually see any results in the Companion app or on the Apple Watch itself.

So far I’ve setup my config in a similar structure as yours, including the ios.yaml and apple_watch.yaml. I’ve also included the groups.yaml with info about my iphone. I did change the obvious entity names into relevant names for my setup.

Any ideas on how to go about from here?

Did you update all of this since actions are outdated?

Thank you!
