Best Apple Siri Voice Commands for Your Home: A Complete Guide
I’ve found my favorite 20-odd Siri voice commands as Siri AI gets ready for big Apple Home changes.
Here are some best Siri voice commands for your home:
"Hey Siri, turn on the heater" allows you to control smart appliances such as heaters from your phone or HomePod mini, even when you're away.
"Hey Siri, turn off the kitchen lights" lets you set specific lighting controls in a room, provided your smart lights are properly labeled in Apple Home.
"Hey Siri, set the playroom smart lights to blue" helps adjust shades and brightness of smart lights, following your customized label.
"Hey Siri, turn the thermostat down by two degrees" controls your smart thermostat remotely, regardless of your location.
"Hey Siri, unlock the front door" is useful for smart locks, allowing you to grant access or monitor the status.
"Hey Siri, arm the security system" is handy for quickly securing your home or office before leaving.
"Hey Siri, show me the backyard camera" displays a live camera feed in Apple Home, if supported.
"Hey Siri, did the driveway camera see any deliveries today?" is a new feature rolling out with Siri AI, which can analyze security videos.
"Hey Siri, lock the front door at 7 p.m." schedules future home changes, ensuring the door is locked before bedtime.
"Hey Siri, are the lights in the living room off?" lets you check the status of smart devices without needing to manually verify.
"Hey Siri, where is [family member name]" uses Find My app data to show the location of a family member, assuming they're labeled correctly in Find My.
