Create actions in Home Assistant mobile app to allow automations and scripts to be triggered via Apple Watch.

  • TTS updates.
  • Scripts, for example, announcing common phrases "Dinner is almost ready, please set the table."
  • Security i.e. arm alarm.
  • Scenes like lights off.
  • Fun stuff like activating party scenes with playlists and lighting or even just spraying the air freshener.

Once the action has been created in the mobile app, you can listen for the event being called via Developer Tools > Events > Listen to events ios.action_fired. You can see more examples in the Watch Actions reference above.

Here is an example of a trigger I've added to an automation.

  # Apple Watch action
  - platform: event
    event_type: ios.action_fired
    event_data:
      actionName: FRESH_ALL
