Someone managed to store and retrieve in the Home application automation element. I can do it in a shortcut using Get File from iCloud, however I don't have this option when I'm in edit mode for automation shortcuts.
Just to describe what I'm trying to achieve, it's all about adjusting a socket heater:
1. A heater is connected to a HomeKit outlet.
2. A shortcut on a HomePod Mini asks what temperature is needed and then stores the value. (Done, but in iCloud)
3. When motion is detected on a hue sensor, it runs a home automation that is converted to shortcut and aims to read the current temperature, check the stored value from step two and turn the heater on / off as needed.
Any advice on how to store and retrieve values in the home automation shortcut would be greatly appreciated, the usual "Get the file" options are not available here.
