Good Morning Apple Home?

Good Morning Apple Home | Automate Your Mornings with Siri, Shortcuts & Scenes Last week, we said good night. This week, we’re waking up the smart way. In this video, we’re creating a fully automated morning readout using Apple Shortcuts and a HomePod. You’ll get the time, weather, humidity from Eve Weather, and even a personalized "Today in History" fact — all read aloud by Siri when you turn off your morning alarm. We’ll also trigger a “Good Morning” scene at the end of the shortcut to turn on lights, raise the blinds, and get your home moving before you’ve even had your coffee. If you’re just starting out with Apple Home, this is an awesome way to bring your smart home to life in a useful and fun way. Eve Weather: https://amzn.to/4jzE6zH 00:00 - intro 01:54 - Building the shortcut: Date, Weather, Event 02:55 - Voice settings fix (to get Siri's voice!) 03:35 - Add ChatGPT for a unique daily readout 04:52 - Troubleshooting ChatGPT in Shortcuts 05:51 - Adding Eve Weather: Hyper-local data 08:03 - Adding a Good Morning scene 08:40 - Why doesn’t the scene run? 08:57 - Final thoughts Setting up ChatGPT via Shortcuts (OpenAI API) This version uses the Get Contents of URL block to call the OpenAI API directly. Here's exactly how to build it: Get Contents of URL URL: https://api.openai.com/v1/chat/completions Method: POST Headers: Authorization → Bearer sk-... (Insert your OpenAI API key here) Content-Type → application/json Request Body (JSON) model: gpt-3.5-turbo messages: 1 item Item 1 (Dictionary) role: user content: your Text block with the date, weather, calendar, etc. This is effectively your prompt. Example: "Using the following data, write a short 2–3 sentence cheerful morning message: [your weather/event variables]" Follow it with three "Get Dictionary Value" blocks 1st: Get value for "choices" in Contents of URL 2nd: Get value for "message" 3rd: Get value for "content" (This pulls the string ChatGPT returns for your intercom readout) Intercom Action Point the result from the last step to Intercom to your HomePod. Done! Other Notes You’ll need a paid OpenAI account with a secret API key: https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys This may cost a few pennies a day depending on your usage. You can set limits in your OpenAI billing dashboard. If you get “Not logged in” errors in the standard ChatGPT action — this workaround should resolve it. Thanks for watching!
