I believe this particular flow chart can be accomplished by both.

Glad the flowchart helped. Yes, it is necessary to have a hub as it’s needed for automations and without one it won’t let you convert to a shortcut. A home hub can be an iPad or Apple TV running the latest OS or a HomePod or HomePod Mini.

Let me know if I can help in any other way.

I have some buttons coming, and I would do some thing close to that, but I have a doubt.
To convert the action of a button into a shortcut is it necessary to have a hub?
