Possible to trigger multiple actions with a single tap on the button card?

But how can a Home Assistant automation trigger an iOS shortcut? I think that’s the main problem I’m dealing with, I’m wanting to trigger two different systems, in one sense. Unless an automation can open an URL on a Home Assistant device?

Actually, I should probably look into making the iOS shortcut trigger the script in Home Assistant.

Just thinking through that helped. Here is the solution, if anyone finds this later:

  1. Make an iOS shortcut that looks like the following. Important note: the data after action can’t have spaces and may need to be all caps. The spaces screwed me up for awhile.

  2. Trigger the Automation with the following to match your iOS shortcut"

  3. Make sure the iOS shortcut is on every device you are going to use this button on.

  4. Call the iOS shortcut as a the tap-action with your UI button and you should be good to go.

  5. Wait for the wife not to even notice…
