Automations: schedules and device triggers

Let your home run itself: turn lights on at a set time, get alerts when a device goes offline, run Scenes, send notifications — with screenshots.

Updated:

An automation is an If … Then … rule — e.g. “If it’s 6 pm, then turn on the living room light”. Set it once and your home does it every day.

Screenshots show the app in Vietnamese. The English app has the same screens, with the buttons in the same places.

Create an automation

  1. Go to Automations → +.

  2. If → Add condition, then choose:

    • Scheduled — a fixed time of day.
    • Device state changes — e.g. a switch was turned on, a device goes Offline, the temperature is Greater than a value.
    • Scene is run.

    With several conditions, choose When all conditions are met or When any condition is met.

Managing automations

  • The switch on each card turns that automation on or off.
  • Press and hold a card for Edit, History (when it ran) and Delete.
