Add Period – When

Select a period when the conditions apply. If no period is selected, the condition will apply every day.

For example:

If you want a motion sensor detection to trigger an action, but ONLY on weekdays while you are out of the house, you have to define this period in the When.

There are four types of periods:

1. All day: 24 hours.

2. Daytime:

   • From sunrise to sunset.

   • It is possible to select a period before or after the sunrise/sunset starts (up to 12 hours).

3. Night time:

   • From sunset to sunrise.

   • It is possible to select a period before or after the sunset/sunrise starts (up to 12 hours).

4. Custom: Define a period – start and end time.

In the automation creator, tap When > Add period > Period > select a start time and repeat period (days of the week) > tap Next.

You get back to the automation creator main screen.

In the next step, select the best action for your automation.
