More Information

Thanks for your time folks (and your beautiful work).

• I think the apple shortcut icon I reused should be ok for this use, by reading few bits online - but feel absolutely free to exclude it if you don't want to risk it.
• There is one old plugin which integrated Shortcuts but it's currently marked as non-working; but also didn't integrate with x-callback-url schema (which is probably the highlight of my plugin I hope).

Please let me know any feedback/remark, I'll be happy to amend where needed.

Cheers, Davide

Hi @duddu

thanks for the request and mentioning the currently verified homebridge-button-platform plugin. Noted that this plugin is marked as archived on github.

Would you consider your plugin a total replacement for this one? is there anything helpful that the other plugin can do which yours cannot?

hey @bwp91, thanks for picking this up! I was actually mentioning https://github.com/kylewhirl/homebridge-shortcuts#readme (which is marked as not working); the archived plugin repo you mention, homebridge-button-platform, is not strictly related as it creates virtual buttons to be triggered by http requests. This plugin instead just runs existing apple shortcuts on the homebridge host.

[duddu]

btw @bwp91 sorry I just noticed that the non-working plugin I was mentioning is not even verified -- so yeah just to confirm I don't believe there is any verified plugin that handles apple shortcuts as far as I can tell. thanks again for your time

[duddu]

Have you got any update on this @bwp91? Is there any info I can provide/ action I can take to speed this up? Thank you in advance
