Seeing the discussion from Simple Tasker Plugin, I wanted to see what options might exist for iOS.
This might work: Run a shortcut using a URL scheme on iPhone or iPad - Apple Support (CA)
Has anyone played around with this yet?
Just tried it and it does work on the iPad Pro at least. While the use of scripts is now poopooed, this will do the trick:
App.OpenURIshortcuts://run-shortcut?name=shortcut_name
My intent was to find a workaround for absent AppleTV support in THR and have more robust control than can be offered via IR. In this use case, I created an iOS shortcut called shortcut_name that has two steps:
- “Open App” with app defined as Home Remote
- “Show remote control for <your_apple_tv>.”
Executing the script in THR will juggle a few screens, with the end result being the Apple TV remote overlay on top of the THR interface.
It’s crude, but it works (for now, at least).
