Add a command to the iPhone home screen
On an iPhone, you can add the OPEN.ioting shortcut to the home screen or set a Siri command.
All you need to do is follow the steps below:
​
Open the OPEN.ioting mobile app, then go to Device Settings. There, click on the "Add to Commands" button.
Change the text "OiO Device" that appears on the screen to the command you want to use to control the device in the future. This text also appears for the shortcut icon on the home screen.
Important! When opening with Siri voice commands, the language of the text should match the language in Siri's settings (e.g. if you use Siri in English, you should give an English command here too. For example "Open my home").
​
Voice control also works with Apple CarPlay.
Add shortcuts to the home screen
Once you have added the OPEN.ioting device to the commands (previous steps), launch the Commands app, then select the OPEN.ioting command for editing by tapping the 3 dots in the top right corner.
Click on the arrow to the right of the Command name, then select "Add to Home Screen".
Click on the arrow to the right of the Command name, then select "Add to Home Screen".
