What are your favorite commands to ask Siri on your Apple Watch? For me, I have to admit asking Siri to send a text is still the most frequent thing I do...

But I have a feeling I'd do a few other things - but could use your tips

Sending text is good, and setting timers is another!

I use her a lot for texts, timers, driving directions, and phone calls.

[doogald]

The only thing that I use it for is timers. I've used it to send a text once or twice, but I don't really feel it was any easier than just pulling out my phone and taking care of it normally.

Set timer for...

Set alarm for...

Siri, any messages?

Goodnight, Siri [turns off all lights]

Exactly why I use my iPhone for Siri 99% of the time. Shes super slow on my Apple Watch but pretty quick on my iPhone 7 Plus.

I don't use Siri much in general. I do have her place calls for me on my AW sometimes while I'm driving if I HAVE to take a call. I also have her add tasks for me in Todoist, which is nice.

I use Siri on my Watch to unlock my front door using HomeKit and sending texts.

Siri, call... (forgot that one)

I use Siri on my Watch to unlock my front door...

I'm considering that with an August lock. I won't stop carrying a door key, but this would be really useful for me.

Can you confirm that you can't use geolocation to lock and unlock your door with a HomeKit-compatible lock?

I know the August lock will auto-lock on a time delay, like a iPhone lock screen. But I've heard that with HomeKit, you'll have to tap the phone (or Watch?) instead of just approaching the door. Yes, no?

I dont use the August Lock. I am using the Shalage lock. It does not work with geolocation. You need to use the app or the keypad to gain access.

You need to use the app or the keypad to gain access.

I'm now certain that's a HomeKit thing, common to any HomeKit-compatible lock. Apple is probably doing that for security reasons, whereas geolocation is supposed to work with Hue-Homekit lights.

No response using Siri on my Series 2. Whenever I say, "Hey Siri" Siri quickly responds on my 6S Plus

[LaLamoto]

Okay so I think I solved my issue....Dock mode.

I just mentioned in another thread that telling Siri on the Watch to take me to a location was very handy. I didn't have to take my phone out. Very quick and easy.
