HomeKit shortcuts with several variables

Cupertino, February 17, 2020

Hi all,

I'm trying to create my first automation in the Shortcuts application and I'm just trying to figure out how to program it.

I have a water pump at a HomeKit outlet that I want to turn on when the bathroom lights turn on. We have two bathrooms - upstairs and upstairs - and I want the water pump to turn off only if both sets of lights are off.

In my mind, this is how it looks:

If bath A and bath B are switched off, turn off the water pump

Or

If bath A is stopped, turn off the water pump, if bath B is not activated

The problem is that I do not know how to structure "and" or "if not" in short. I can use it only if it is otherwise. Also, I want this shortcut to work automatically. Could someone please advise you if this is a solution and how to do it?
