What are Tap-to-Run Scenes?
- These are scenes that you can run manually – tap the name to perform the set task
- For easy access, once created the Tap-to-Run scenes show on your Home screen by default in a scrollable list (left to right) above your list of devices
- The major reason for setting up Tap-to-Run scenes is to use them with Google/Alexa/Siri
- They are also great for pairing multiple devices to run at the same time
How to create a Tap-to-Run smart scene and activate Siri
- Start by heading to the Scene Tab that is located along the bottom of the Holman Home home screen. Click on the + button in the top right-hand corner to create a new scene
- This will open the CREATE SCENE window where you will be able to choose from a range of conditions
- For setting up a voice-activated task, we will be choosing the LAUNCH TAP-TO-RUN button
- Next, select the RUN THE DEVICE button, this will allow you to choose from the devices you have connected to Holman Home. Select the Wi-Fi Garden Light Controller
- Now you will be presented with a number of functions. SWITCH allows you to choose if you are turning the device ON or OFF. MODE allows you to select if you are running a scene or one colour on your lights
- Today we will be turning the Controller to turn ON.
- If no MODE is selected, the controller will use the COLOUR mode by default. Click SAVE after selecting the ON switch
- Next, you will see the Tap-to-Run scene condition and settings. Click SAVE. You will then be asked if you would like to add this Tap-to-Run scene to Siri. In the WHEN I SAY box, type in what you would like your voice command to be
- i.e. “Turn on my Garden Lights” or “Backyard Lights On”
- Click ADD TO SIRI. This command can be removed and adjusted at any time. This Tap-to-Run scene will now appear on your Holman Home home screen and in the SCENE Tab
- This scene can also be activated by clicking on the saved scene
Please note: The first scene that is saved in the SCENE tab of your Wi-Fi Garden Light Controller will be used by default. If picking the COLOUR mode, the last selected colour on the colour wheel of the will be used by default.
