Device automation
An Automation is a cloud-evaluated rule: when a trigger condition is met on one device, the platform runs actions on one or more others. Open Automations from the Automations tab in the bottom navigation.
Examples:
- If Switch-1 power turns ON, turn Light-1 ON
- If a temperature sensor reports above 22°C, turn a fan ON at speed 3
Automations list
Each card shows the Automation name, event/trigger summary, actions summary, and an enable toggle. Pull down to refresh from the cloud. Tap a card for Edit/Delete; use the toggle for quick enable/disable.
