Automation Suggestions

The Home app isn’t exactly easy for people to master, especially if they are trying to connect a bunch of smart devices at once. Apple is working to make the app easier for everyone to use, and one of the key iOS 14 changes will help by making automatic suggestions for scenes and setup based on the smart device you are connecting.
So, if you get a new smart bulb, turn it on, and connect it to HomeKit, then iOS 14 will – without even needing to enter the Home app – pop up a “Light Automations” suggestion that encourages you to immediately make a few handy setting adjustments, like “When motion sensor detects motion, turn on” or “When I leave, turn off.”
Lists of suggestions will pop up for all kinds of devices, and will include interplay between devices, such as, “When garage door opens, turn on lights.”
Granted, these suggestions sort of bypass the Home app entirely (and raise the question if it’s needed at all), but it’s a great feature for busy people that don’t want to manually make a bunch of smart setting decisions on their own.
