Creating Automations and Routines

Automations and Routines Guide

Automate your home so it works for you — without lifting a finger.

What Are Automations?

Automations trigger device actions based on conditions such as time, location, sensor readings, or device states.

Examples

• Good Morning: At 7:00 AM, gradually brighten bedroom lights to 80%, set thermostat to 21°C, and start the coffee maker.
• Leave Home: When all phones leave the home geofence, turn off all lights, lock the door, and lower the thermostat.
• Movie Mode: Dim living room lights to 20%, close smart blinds, and set TV ambient lighting when the TV turns on.
