Add a shortcut to my automation/routine

pleasejustwork — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 11:48:14 GMT

I want to add a shortcut for an automation/routine to the homescreen of my phone.

Is it possible?

I don't see the option to do this despite help I've found indicating otherwise. I have a Samsung s24 on Google Fi.

Here is an example screen of one of my automations:

Hi pleasejustwork,

Thanks for reaching out. I understand that you need help creating a shortcut routine. I'm happy to assist you! I recommend you visit Create and manage routines for Google Home automations. There, you will find all the steps to create your routine, as well as information on other features you can use.

Is your device Apple? I don't see the shortcut icon in your photo. Shortcuts aren't available on Apple.

Also, not having your language set to English (United States) could restrict some features available to you.

Adding on from what @maedacortez said there are other shortcuts you can use where you can add photos to the shortcut.

I found the solution in case it helps anyone else: Use Home Assistant.
