Conditional automations let you add an additional requirement for automations to run. This means you can fine-tune your automations to run under the exact conditions you want.
A trigger is an event that causes an automation to run. Example triggers include motion detected, a door or window opening, a phone entering a geofence, or a specific time.
An action is an event you would like to perform when the trigger occurs. An action can be an event like taking a photo, recording a video, turning on a light, sending a notification, or arming your system.
A condition is an optional setting that ensures that your automation only runs during the times you want. For example, you may want to turn on the hallway lights when the front door is open if it is dark outside. Or turn a lamp on after sunset only if someone is home.
We've designed dynamic sunrise and sunset support based on the latitude and longitude of your system's address. That means throughout the year as sunrise and sunset change, your gateway intelligently adjusts these times every day.
You can create rules on your phone in a few easy steps with our intuitive home automation wizard. We made it simple so that novices and experts alike can create rules quickly and easily.
