Siri Support

The app supports direct Siri interaction via the “Shortcuts” IOS app. A Shortcut donwload link is provided below that will install a shortcut called “Ask the Car”

Install “Ask the Car” Shortcut

Once installed, interact with the shortcut by saying “Hey Siri, Ask the car”. Siri will respond by asking “Whats the Command?” and you can reply with a natural text string, which will be passed to the app. The app identifies the commands by matching specific keywords, listed below.

A interaction starts by you asking Siri to run the shortcut name, in this case its named “Start the Car”, hence an interaction is like:

You: “Hey Siri, Ask the car” (This runs the shortcut)
Siri: “Whats the Command?” (The shortcut prompts for some input)
You: “What’s the status of the car?” (Your input will be sent to the app)
Siri: “Your Ioniq 5’s battery is at 75% and locked. Your car is also charging at 6kw and will be finished at 9pm” (This is the response from the app that Siri will read to you)

You can change the name of the shortcut, or the command prompt - just remember if you change the name - thats what you have to say to start the interation.
