Mailbox open/close setup

<!-- SC_OFF -->My mailbox is across the street about 80-100 feet from my house. The post office does not use the flag where I live as part of their policy. The door is in the front and flips down to horizontal. I have tried an Aqara door sensor on HomeKit to no avail.

What are your Shortcut organization strategies? ...
https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1x5t1ev/what_are_your_shortcut_organization_strategies/
<!-- SC_OFF -->I go through phases where I make a bunch, then delete a bunch. I started doing it even when it was still the Workflow app. I do have a few folders. But when I get past 30 or so it feels a little overwhelming. I'll forget I have some, or some are variations and I can't remember which did what and so on LOL. Then on MacPowerUsers this week one of the hosts said he has hundreds, and the other host said he has over 2000 iirc?! How does that even work? How do you remember what you have, what they're for etc.? I have to think my mental model is incorrect for thinking about this?

Menu UI shortcut, links included
https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1x5yyxx/menu_ui_shortcut_links_included/
<!-- SC_OFF -->So i posted this summary of a shortcut i made when commenting on an earlier post. A few people have asked for it so thought I’d put it here. Notes- This is a skeleton version (necessary as we have different playlists, folders, notes/reminder categories, etc), so you will need to go through the various modules and customize them as you see fit (playlists, podcasts, notes/files and folders, directions home, etc) I’ve left examples where possible, to help with the customization. i created this as a modular system, so youll need all the shortcuts linked in order for it to work properly. i have not yet updated to iOS 27 and have heard multiple issues with shortcuts, no idea what it might break in this so YMMV. Hope you find it as useful as I do! Menu UI shortcut summary I set the action button to open a scrollable menu of the following options- most lead to submenus and actions, denoted by bullets below Maps • search (opens Google Maps directly into search box entry)
• directions (opens Google Maps directly into destination box entry)
• home (Google Maps directions home)
• Maps (opens Apple Maps) Music -(a scrollable list of my fav playlists and a Music app launch option) Podcasts -(a scrollable list of my fav podcasts and a podcasts app launch option) Strands (i find this to be the most useful section for me. Quickly using copied text to create reminders or notes without leaving the app im in. Collecting quotes, saving information in an organized manner, easily finding a saved Reddit post about where the best pizza in my area is, etc) • creates a new Note in my Quotes folder in Apple Notes with clipboard text/pic
• creates a new Note in my Strands folder in Apple Notes with clipboard text/pic
• creates a new Reminder with clipboard text
• creates a new Reminder with copied link and asks for Reminder title text (I’ll often use this option for links to specific Reddit posts about suggested restaurants, etc.- just copy the link, activate this action, title it Pizza for example, and its saved to my Recommended category in Reminders)
• opens a new Reminder text box
• opens a new Note text box
• opens camera, picture taken will not save to phone library, but instead to a Files folder (I prefer keeping my phone library empty (everything is in albums, and are filtered from library view) Search • opens a text entry box, once entered, gives options to search that text in Google, DuckDuckGo, Youtube, Giphy, Reddit, or ChatGPT. Reddit • opens Reddit Safari • opens Safari Photos • opens Photos Play/Pause • as stated (super useful to me as i find ios kills the music/podcasts controls on the locksreen and notification shade much too quickly- this action will resume the last thing playing regardless.) Next • next track Back • restart track Add • add current track to any playlist Apps • scrollable menu of all apps Record • opens Camera and begins video recording Memo • begins voice memo recording Remote • Apple TV remote Time • menu options of timers (5,10,15,20,30, or custom minutes) and set alarm option Translate • opens text box with clipboard inserted for translation selection Send pic • opens camera and sends taken pic to selected contact, photo not saved to photo library Business papers • Notes document scanner Torch • flashlight Great that it works from the lock screen and it also generally prevents the need to switch apps for saving links or other tangents, or go to the homescreen at all.

Work logging and monthly summary
https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1x6glr0/work_logging_and_monthly_summary/
<!-- SC_OFF -->Hi I have asked for help creating this shortcut before and it worked great until it didn’t. The shortcut logges my clock in and out in a text file just fine. Then a Ai summary shortcut was suppose to look at all the data and summaries the total days worked, gross hours, net hours (minus fixed break) and overtime hours (Monday - Thursday everything over 7.5 hours and Friday anything over 7 hours) However, it seems to work only with a few clock in and clock out. If there’s to much data it won’t complete the shortcut. I have been trying to find another solution but with out luck. I was thinking maybe it’s possible to use google sheets and use that to calculate, but not sure how to automatically switch when a new month starts My last resort hoping someone can help me create this shortcut. Thanks

<!-- SC_OFF -->Hi everyone! I’m trying to make a shortcut that plays music from Spotify (because I don’t pay for Apple Music) when I snooze or turn off my alarm. But it asks for permission to open Spotify every time it runs, which defeats the purpose. My attempt is attached. There’s no option under “Open Spotify” to turn on/off Automation. If you have any advice on how to change it to stop that request to have it run properly, I’d appreciate it. Thanks!!

App specific volume
https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/comments/1x6m5cu/app_specific_volume/
<!-- SC_OFF -->I need an app specific volume shortcut.
I know what I want to do, but not sure if it’s possible.
I’m somewhat okay with creating shortcuts but this one is a bit complicated. I want to create a shortcut that turns down Facebook reels volume. I want to create an icon so that when Facebook is opened, it turns down (to like 10%) the app volume. Then either times out after 30 minutes or when the app is closed. To complicate things I’m trying to make it husband proof (he’s a bit technologically challenged) so I’m thinking I can include the shortcut steps to open Facebook, turn down the volume, and have it auto reset after done or closing out the app. He is constantly turning the volume to almost off and then forgets it is down and misses texts and calls. I’m trying to make it automated so he doesn’t have to remember to turn it back up. Possible??? I would be willing to send funds to get it to come out right. 🙂 <!-- SC_ON --> submitted by /u/MusicByLoriD (https://www.reddit.com/user/MusicByLoriD)
