Scenes: lights, TV and app in one tap

By the TVkip team ·

Scenes (Pro) do several things in one tap: dim your HomeKit lights, turn the TV on, pick the input and volume and open an app. Open the More menu and choose Scenes.

  1. Tap Add scene, start from a template or from scratch, and give it a name.
  2. Add steps: Turn TV On or Turn TV Off, Switch Input, Set Volume, Open an App, Press a Button, Wait, Sleep Timer and Home Scene (Lights).
  3. Drag to reorder. Tap the scene to run it.

Add a short wait after turning the TV on; TVs take a moment to wake.

Dim the lights with HomeKit

A Home scene step runs a scene from Apple's Home app. Create the scene in the Home app first, then allow TVkip to use your Home when iOS asks (or in Settings > Privacy & Security > HomeKit).

With Siri

Say "Hey Siri, run Movie night with TVkip" with your scene's name, or "Hey Siri, run a scene in TVkip" and pick one. You can also search for a scene in Spotlight to run it, or add TVkip's Run Scene action in the Shortcuts app to use a scene in your own shortcuts and automations or on the Action button.
