Shortcut App on iOS

[RayOZ]

Not my original idea. Someone posted on FB, and I thought it was a good idea.
This is for iOS users, with some knowledge in programming. I don't know if there's a equivalent for Android
So... there's this app, called Shortcut on the Apple App Store. It lets you create shortcuts that runs a series of steps on your device.
This is what I've create for myself.

Basically, when i say "Hey Siri, Let's fly". My phone runs this shortcut.
1. Sets screen brightness to 100%
2. Turns on Do Not Disturb.
3. Play a sound.
4. Start DJI Go 4.

I think I'll expand it to include preflight checklist.
1. Check iPhone/iPad battery >50%.
2. Check RC battery > 40%
3. Check AC battery 100%
4. Check propellers in good condition, secured and spins freely.
5. Check battery on AC is secure.
6. Gimbal cover and clamp off.
Then run the original 4 steps.

I need a second shortcut to reduce screen brightness and turn off Do Not Disturb, after I am done.

The shortcut app can check the condition of the props for you?[emoji16]

Haha. I said pre-flight checklist. Pilot to check them prior to taking off.
Perhaps it can grab current weather data too. I haven't had time to modify to my shorcut.

I figured you meant to display the checklist. The way you worded it though, could be taken to mean the shortcut would perform or trigger the device to perform the checklist

Are you able to share the workaround for those of us us that fall into the category of 'dumb and dumber'?

It's not a workaround as such. There's an app on the iOS app store. I am not sure if it's a paid app still. I bought it a while ago, when it was under a different name. You can use it to do a few fancy stuff. Even bulk edit/crop images and photos.
Anyway...
1. Download and install the app on your iOS device. Search "Shortcuts".
2. Open the app and click on "+" on the top right corner.
3. There's a search bar at the bottom. Tap on it and start typing. Use the image on post #1 as a guide. If you start typing 'Set Brightness", that object appears. Tap on it.
4. Then repeat for the other objects.
5. After that tap on the icon below "Done".
6. You can name it and set up Siri Phrase. You can call it anything you want.
7. Show in Widget means this shortcut will appear in the control centre when you slide right from the home screen.

Read this if you want to learn more stuff you can use the app for. Or google search for more examples.

Thank you very much for that.
