Say lumos to your phone and it will activate the light

[Soubriquet]

Just discovered this!

Knox will shut it off too.

Activate Siri on iPhone first. Not sure about android

Ooh, any more fun Siri commands? Lumos worked so this is going to be my new meaningless fun thing to do when I'm bored!

I have just tried all of these on my Google home and they all worked apart from one.

It kept me amused for a couple of minutes and I'm not even a Harry Potter fan.

I've got an android phone and it worked for me.

Showed the teenager and was told I'm so sad...

Just thought I'd try this. Didn't turn the light on my phone. It turned on all my Philips hue lights in the house including the sleeping kid's bedroom. 🤦‍♀️

Oops

Mine doesn't recognise me saying Nox, I think she's confused by my accent

Sorry but this properly made me lol

My hp mad ds is going to LOVE this! Can't wait to impress him with it in the morning thanks OP!

This is my favourite thread EVER! Just had a fun few minutes with the Google home thing.

I'm so happy. DD will lose her poop. She's a huge HP/JKR fan!

Like others, it works to switch on, but not the the 'nox' bit to turn off.

However 'Lumos off' works a treat!

OMG, 'accio' works on my iPhone!

I already do Lumos and Nox, but Accio to open apps is just too cool.

Tried the Marauder's Map charm, but it just got "I don't understand what you mean" from Siri🤷🏼‍♀️

Thanks for sharing, just tried lumos, box and accio and they all worked, my DD will LOVE this!

I used to do this on my iPhone but forgot all about it until it popped up on FB again. I have Android now but it still works, yey! Very excited.

Supposedly there is some way to program in 'Avada Kedavra' to put your phone in airplane mode and darken your screen. But I'm afraid to try that one because with my luck my iPhone will NOT be 'The iPhone That Lived".

Worked for me! Bit annoying he says “ok I’ll turn torch on/off”…would be much better if he let me think I was magic

Ha. Just impressed the teenager with the i phone. That doesn't happen often 🙂

@ShowOfHands

On my phone you have to say "okay Google" first. The DC love it.

If on an android, press the home button then say it.

I pressed the home button said the magic words it worked silly fun

This is brilliant! . I’m so glad I saw this thread. The Avada kedavra thing is great

Haha love this 🤣

When I say Lumpus Siri tells me all about an Israeli company 🤷🏻‍♀️

Love it!

Such a shame Siri has to announce every task though.

Me - "Lumos"
Siri - ...
Me - " LUMOS!"
Siri - "OK. Ive turned torch on."
Me - Hey Siri -
Siri - ...
Me - "Hey Siri. "Nox"
Siri - " "OK. Ive turned torch off."

Just bloody well do as i ask, the first time I ask! Without all the waffle!

Where is the home button?

I did manage to get it to work by using Huwaei AI. Which I have never used before so that is quite a handy tool.

I need to be properly prepared to impress a teenager 😂

@WingBingo

You can also just say “torch on”

Yes, this is what I do. No idea why using 'lumos' would seem more intuitive?

'Torch on' is logical & clear

@Soubriquet

Lumos and nox are Harry Potter spells

Ah! Sorry just read this, get it now!
