Creating a shortcut for “control nearby devices”

Posted this on Reddit but figured I’d check here too…

I’d like to make a shortcut that ends up on the screen where a nearby device has already been selected and it’s ready to be controlled (3).


The shortcut I found online to achieve this (1) doesn’t go far enough and ends at the menu where I select a device (2).


I intend to frequently control a specific device, and would like my shortcut to move through past these steps and end with the control screen (3).


Can anyone help with this?


iPhone 13, iOS 17

Eg: says:

" Tip: To quickly turn on Control Nearby Devices, add this feature to Accessibility Shortcut.

To stop controlling the other device, tap ."
