6 months ago Eddie,In order to change lights will require you to figure out what command formatted in json you need and put that in the shortcutI know the next question is how do I determine what command to sendBelow is how I determined the appropriate json command for another user:The way I can up with this json command was to create a routine for the virtual garage door device, setting the If part to anything (I used a specific time) and the Then part to how you want to control the device. I then used Todd Austin’s API Browser+ to look at the Routine's details to see what parameters ST used for the device. Below is an example from the Then part of the routine: "commands": [ { "component": "main", "capability": "doorControl", "command": "open" } ]Note there maybe extra meta-data items in the json that needs to be removed. If it doesn’t work send me the json and I’ll see if I can fix itLet me know if this cmd json works with your garage door device. If it doesn’t work, you’ll need to create a temporary ST routine for your garage door device to see what parameters are necessaryIf you haven’t seen the discussion thread on the ST forum, the link is below Using iOS Shortcuts and Siri to Interact with Smartthingscommunity.smartthings.comAlso you can use a json formatter site to validate the json and minimize it for pasting into the shortcut. Though I don’t think you need to minimize it, but I’ve never tried without minimizing the jsonBest JSON Formatter and JSON Validatorjsonformatter.orgLet me know if you have other questions On Mar 27, 2024, at 10:22 PM, EddieDaYankee @.***> wrote: Hi, I have 2 Juno Connect (Acuity Brands/Lithonia Lighting) SmartThings compatible Speaker Lights.
