How this automation works

Control your smart home security by automatically unlocking your door and pressing a SwitchBot when an iOS Shortcut automation starts. This Applet runs as soon as your configured Shortcut fires, performing the linked SwitchBot press and unlocking your smart lock. It's perfect for hands-free access or coordinating multiple smart devices in one smooth action.
