some fun with automations - does your car speak to you?

[aristosv]

It's the first time I've had a car with Apple CarPlay, so I though I'd play around a bit and have some fun with Apple's automations.

You can download this shortcut in your shortcuts app on your iPhone and set up an automation trigger to run it each time your phone is connected to Apple CarPlay.

When your phone connects on CarPlay, this shortcut will:

- Say "Hello Boos" (or you can configure your name)
- Say the current time
- Say the current weather conditions at your location
- Say "good morning" or "good evening" depending on the time of day
- Wait 5 seconds
- Say "Also, please remember to wear your seatbelt"

This is a screenshot of how it works

I go to the car to get away from the nagging!

Would be interesting to be able to make it location based. So if it sees you're not at home, it proposes "Drive home" with Waze for instance.
Didn't find such an option at the first glance.

I haven't tested it, but something like this should do it. All you have to do is change "Nicosia" to your home address.

The logic

I tried to make one "Hey Siri, Vamos a la casa".
Thanks!
