TIL iOS Shortcuts. I've had iPhones since the 3 but was not aware of iOS Shortcuts (or Widgets) until this thread. Normally I love this kind of stuff - I have probably blown a man year of my life creating macros and automations for various platforms over the past few decades.
This thread also really requires paying attention - "Shortcuts" on iOS are enabled quite differently from Android...and when folks say "screen" they could mean the mobile or Rivian screen. And "app"...<sigh>
So now I have a Rivian shortcut on my iOS Home screen. While I am puzzled that Rivian didn't show up in "Shortcuts" (apparently you can check the App Store to see if an app supports Siri) it's not too hard to hit the "+". And while I could not find "supports Siri" in the iOS App Store, I did notice that that the Rivian claims to app support "Wallet".
So now my life is a bunch of Alexa automations (and I use Alexa quite a bit while in the Rivian because I find the touchscreen distracting while driving). And how I have my first Siri automation (actually there are a few more...I had been prompted in the past to create a shortcut for something and then didn't know what happened
). And <sigh> I have Google automation for my new Yale house locks. The WAF of all this is less than zero.
