(Legacy) iOS Actions

Before continuing

You can easily run scripts and active scenes directly by adding Script/Scene to your watch configuration. iOS Actions won't receive future support. Please migrate to other solutions, such as the Scripts widget, or Apple Watch configuration.

Actions that are fired from Apple Watch will be delivered to the Home Assistant Event Bus in the same way as actions triggered on iPhone with the ios.action_fired event, however the payload of the event will differ slightly to clarify the source of the event. Actions triggered by Apple Watch will have the triggerSource key set to watch.

An example ios.action_fired payload for an event triggered on Apple Watch is:

{
    "event_type": "ios.action_fired",
    "data": {
        "sourceDeviceID": "my_iphone",
        "actionID": "09CEA437-4585-4A97-B946-79D2C8B3145A",
        "sourceDevicePermanentID": "BCEE1730-E6BE-453B-B9E5-9601FA182C64",
        "actionName": "MyActionName",
        "triggerSource": "watch",
        "sourceDeviceName": "My iPhone"
    },
    "origin": "REMOTE",
    "time_fired": "2020-06-13T14:40:43.009700+00:00",
    "context": {
        "id": "d2f58b921b2f41809af9fce444416aab",
        "parent_id": null,
        "user_id": "3831508509fe4124abaf1d144c2e8ca4"
    }
}
