Create creative custom phrases of your choosing

A custom response can be created for Siri to reply and confirm an action has been completed.

Example
: Say "Hey Siri, it's bedtime" to turn off the lights, turn on the night light, and turn on the sound machine to prepare the kids for story time.

Control the home from anywhere on the go

Is it dark when you are coming home from the store and your arms are full of groceries? Just say "Siri turn on the lights"
Driving home and want to run the home scene? Just say "Hey Siri, I'm home from work."

Did someone just ring the doorbell when you are in the middle of preparing dinner? Just say "Hey Siri, show me my front door" to quickly access your doorbell camera's live video feed
You are in bed upstairs when you hear a loud crash downstairs. Just say "Hey Siri, show me my living room" to quickly access the live video feed from your Indoor Camera
