Automate Your Apple Home with Jan

Less hassle. More flow. Powered by Apple HomeKit and Shortcuts — for real life.

What I Do

Real Home Automations. Real Time Saved.

Technology is meant to make life easier — not give you more to manage.

I help Apple users around Sheffield and remotely across the UK create personalised Apple HomeKit automations and iPhone Shortcuts built around everyday routines. I design lighting, heating, HomePod, Apple TV and EV routines, as well as automations triggered by door, motion and presence sensors, compatible security cameras and weather station readings. Siri actions and iPhone notifications help everything work together around your life.

Your home should respond to you — not the other way around.

Real Examples

See how your Apple home can work around your day.

Morning Routine

Your day begins before you touch a thing — lights, heating, music and reminders working around your alarm.

EV Automation

Your car gets ready around your real schedule — preconditioning when you need it, without opening the app.

Home Life

Timers, music, shopping lists and everyday routines that quietly remove small jobs from the day.

About Me

Built in a Real Home. Tested Every Day.

Hi, I’m Jan, based near Sheffield. Since 2021, I’ve been building and testing Apple HomeKit automations and Shortcuts in my own home, with more than 80 connected devices.I use that hands-on experience to help others get more from their Apple technology — whether they’re starting with just an iPhone or already have a fully connected smart home.Straightforward advice, clear explanations and practical solutions — without unnecessary upgrades.

If it doesn’t make everyday life easier, it doesn’t need automating.
