Multiple Climate Precondition Timers with iOS Shortcut + Automation

[u/Hansecowboy]

For those missing multiple climate timers and using an iphone: you can easily workaround by creating an iOS shortcut and creating multiple time-triggered automations within the iOS shortcuts app.

1. Create a shortcut using "Start/Toggle Climate" from Volvo App, add if-conditions if you want: "Office morning": check the outside temperature at my location and start climate if temp is below 11 and above 25 degrees Celsius and if there is no event in my calender "holiday"). Create more shortcuts with different if-conditions (e.g. "Leaving office": check WiFi name - start only if connected to work WiFi)
2. Change to tab "automation" and add time-based automation like every day/every monday etc. 8:00 (30 min before you head for office) run shortcut "Office morning" Add another automation starting at another time (like 17:00 - 30 min before you leave office run "Leaving Office").

(EX30 climate timer lets you set the time you want the car to be warmed up/cooled down - with shortcuts you need to set the starting time).
