What I want to do is set up my Action button on my iPhone to open up the aqara app to a specific home based on the location I am at. I already have the location set up to open Apple Home app. Apple home then automatically switches to the home I am at with the setting enabled. I hope Aqara app can implement this feature both in the shortcuts app and making the ability to automatically switch homes.
Edit: One thing annoying from Apple’s implementation is that when I want to try to control another home when I am at a home and when switching between apps it keeps going back to the home I am at. I wish when Aqara does this you will only change the home to the one I am at if opening app after it has closed.
@KolloApple Thank you for sharing your thoughtful feature request! Currently, the Aqara Home app allows users to manage multiple homes separately; you can create and organize different homes, but there isn’t an option to automatically switch to a specific home based on your location, nor is there an integration in Apple Shortcuts to open the app directly to a designated home. The app requires manual switching between homes, and there isn’t automation to change the active home upon app launch or based on geolocation at this time.
Your comparison to Apple Home’s behavior is insightful, especially regarding the automatic switching and the challenge it creates when you want to control a different home. Many users could benefit from a location-aware or shortcut-enabled feature in Aqara Home to streamline multi-home management.
