Condition

In the next step, you will define the conditions for your automation. A condition is a specific criterion that must be met for an automation to be triggered.

For example: If the level of CO₂ exceeds 1000 ppm.

You can compare objects and/or values:

1. Click in the Conditions column of your automation

2. Click Add condition.

3. Fill in the Condition dialog and click Save.

Scenes

You can associate a scene with your automation. When the specified conditions are met, the scene will be triggered.

1. Click in the Scenes column of your automation

2. Click Add scene.

3. Select your scene and click Save.

Events

You can assign an Event to your automation. Events can be scheduled to occur at certain times.

For example, you can set an event to turn on the lights at sunset.

Follow these steps to set up an Event:

1. Click in the Events column of your automation.

2. In the dialog box, choose when you want your automation to trigger. You have three options:

   • Sunset

   • Sunrise

   • A Specific time that you set

3. Select the days of the week when the automation should run.

4. Click Save.

Intervals

Intervals refer to the specific time durations of actions.

For example, you can set an automation to water the garden for 30 minutes every morning at 7 AM.

Setting up Intervals is similar to setting up Events. In the dialog box, choose the start and end times of the interval and select the day on which the automation should be executed within the specified interval.
