What Control Center activities can I use to trigger my other apps and devices?

When Control Center does something, e.g. turns on, plays content, you can use these actions to trigger one of your other apps or devices to do something. For example, when I tell Control Center to “dim the lights” (voice search) it triggers my Philips Hue lighting.

The following can be used as triggers:

  • Power on: Trigger fires when Control Center is turned on
  • Power off: Trigger fires when Control Center is put to standby
  • Content played: Trigger fires when Control Center plays content.
  • Voice search: Fires when any voice search is performed on Control Center

What actions can Control Center do when triggered by my other apps and devices?

Likewise, when one of your devices does something, it can trigger Control Center to take an action. For example, if my Arlo security camera detects motion, Control Center will display a notification.

The following can be used as actions:

  • Power on: Action turns on Control Center
  • Power off: Action turns off Control Center
  • Mute: Action mutes Control Center
  • Show notification: Action displays a notification on your TV when you’re using Control Center
  • Play: Action plays, launches, or tunes to any channel, app, device or content
