Searching for purifier

This is normal. The app starts by looking for any purifiers it can find on the same network it's connected to.

Wait a short time and the app will ask you if you want to add a new purifier.

Siri will need to be enabled in your device’s Settings, to use Siri Shortcuts with the Dyson Link app.

Open Settings on your phone or tablet, then select ‘Siri & Search’. Next, to enable Siri, switch on ‘Press home for Siri’.

Before you can use Siri Shortcuts, you must first add your connected machine to the Dyson Link app.

To create a Siri Shortcut, tap the cog on the top right-hand corner of your home screen and select ‘Voice control’ and then ‘Siri’. Then select ‘Add new shortcut’. Next, choose the required settings and press the ‘Add to Siri’ button.

So that Siri can tell the Dyson Link app to run your shortcut, a personalised phrase will need to be recorded. We suggest that each phrase is unique and it’s recognisable.

For example, if you’ve selected Cooling mode and Night mode, this could be named “Bed time” or a heating specific setting could be named “I’m cold”.

Please note, generic phrases already programmed into Siri can’t be used. An example of this is “Good Morning”.

A list of all personalised phrases will be stored on the ‘Your Siri Shortcuts’ screen for each machine.

To view this, simply tap the cog on the top right-hand corner of the relevant machine’s home screen and select ‘Voice control’ and then ‘Siri’.

Next, select the relevant Siri Shortcut. From here, you can re-record the phrase or deleted the shortcut.

With Siri Shortcuts, you can control your air treatment machine(s) using your voice. You can create, edit and delete your own personalised commands, which can be activated through your mobile or tablet.

Each Siri Shortcut is unique to the machine it was created on and cannot be applied across multiple machines.

You’ll need to create different Siri Shortcuts for each machine and a new personalised phrase will need to be recorded.

Should a personalised phrase be recorded across multiple machines, Siri will display these on your device as selectable options, along with a machine identifier.

If you have multiple machines using the Siri Shortcut feature, we recommend making each phrase unique. For example, if one machine is located in the kitchen and another is in the bedroom, include these locations in the phrase.

Siri Shortcuts can be used in any region where Apple supports Siri. To see if this is supported in your region, please visit the Apple website.

You can activate Siri Shortcuts on the Dyson Link app in one of two ways:

1. Simply say, “Hey Siri”, followed by the pre-recorded personalised phrase.*
2. By pressing your mobile or tablet’s ‘Home’ button to activate Siri, and then saying the pre-recorded personalised phrase when prompted.

Either way, you’ll need to be logged into the Dyson Link app.

*This option will needs Siri to be enabled in your phone or tablet’s Siri settings.

Siri Shortcuts is available on iOS 12 or later.
