Device Automation

Device Automation allows users to create smart rules that automatically control devices based on specific conditions. When a trigger event occurs (like a temperature change or switch state), the automation executes predefined actions on one or more devices.

Examples:

• If Switch-1 power state changes to ON, turn Light-1 ON
• If Temperature Sensor reports temperature > 22°C, turn Fan ON with speed 3

Access Device Automations by selecting the Automations tab in the bottom navigation menu.

The Automations screen displays all automations for the current Home. Each card shows:

• Automation Name

• Enable/Disable Toggle
