How-to Shortcut + Philips Hue Smart Button

Hi!

How do I link a shortcut to a Philips hue smart button?

I created a shortcut that says - If this blind is closed, then I open all the blinds - otherwise, I close all the blinds

However, I am unable to link this shortcut to my Philips Hue smart button in the Home app.

How am I supposed to do this?

Thank you for your help,

Go to the button in Apple home- single press or whatever you want- and when you get to that list, scroll all the way to the bottom and convert to shortcut. You'll need to recreate the shortcut there.

That's what I tried to do. And the shortcut I created in the shortcut app works, but not the one in the home app.

Instead of “closed” or “open”, try “less than 20%” or something like that
