Would like an Aqara automation to trigger HomeKit scene

It would be wonderful if I could trigger a HomeKit scene from Aqara because I can use the IF logic in Aqara that doesn’t exist in HomeKit.

In theory, you can also set up the IF as a Matter signal in Aqara, and if you connect a hub to Apple Home via Matter, you can select that signal as a condition in Apple Home. The problem, however, is that if you’ve already connected the hub via HomeKit and then connect it via Matter, all the sensors and devices connected to the hub will appear twice in Apple Home.

One thing you can do is create an automation in Apple Home and when the “Select scenes and accessories to automate” screen shows, scroll all the way down. You will see a “Convert To Shortcut” button. When clicked, it will take you to a Shortcuts app screen where you can use scripting (IF, GET, etc.)

I personally have done a few automations like this. Hope it helps!
