I am fairly certain that the app isn't required to be open; not sure why they felt the need to slam the app/dev for what appears to be their own mistake (not dev)
I am trying to figure an automation for the HomeKit to allow a motion detector to trigger an action to first record the Power State, Hue, Color Temp, Saturation, and Brightness on a specific light. Then set to a specific scene for a few minutes that changes that light. Then the trick…. Revert to those recorded settings. I see these two shortcut tools that your app adds are in the true ShortCut app only, not in HomeKit ShortCuts that I can find…. How would I ever trigger anything for your tools with a HomeKit Motion Detector? Probably not the right application. Hopefully Apple opens the power of HomeKit ShortCuts to tools like yours…. I might have bought this without any real purpose for me…. Unless you tell me a way to do my Revert to previous status effort? Looks more powerful than I understand. But at the same time, apparently limited by Apple…. Giving a good rating as I bet it does what it says it does properly….
It’s easy to overlook the power of this app. When you look at the Homebot actions within Shortcuts, you only see two listed. However, you can extract very specific details regarding each of your HomeKit devices. For example, I was able to generate a csv file that listed each device (and it’s name, room, and service type) by using HomeBot. If you’ve got numerous HomeKit devices, this will allow you to organize or control them in new ways. Also, open the separate HomeBot app installed on your iOS device - the author included example Shortcuts that you can add into your library that helps you see how it can be used.
