    Installed a new garage door opener and wanted to be able to use Shortcuts triggered by Siri to open the one or both of the doors. 

    Found this link on Reddit and I found it very helpful.

    See this article about what (potentially) Apple’s been doing with Siri.

    It’s really good to see that, apparently, Apple has been doing some serious work on Siri. I do like the tool but I find it a bit frustrating to use at times. 

    I’ve done some work around the house using Indigo and Phillips Hue to automate lighting and create scenes. I find Siri to be pretty useful. The more of the work that I do with these tools, the more that I think that a tool like Amazon’s Echo with Alexa would make things just a bit easier.
