What it does

A scene sets many devices to fixed states with one tap — for example, lights off, curtains closed, AC on. You make it once and use it again and again.

How to create a scene

1. Go to Scenes.
2. Tap the "+" button.
3. Enter a Scene Name (for example, Movie Mode, Good Night, Wake Up).
4. Select the devices to control (tap them from the left panel).
5. Set the action for each device:

• ON / OFF
• Light dimming
• Curtain Open / Close
• Fan speed
• IR devices (TV / AC)

1. Tap OK / Confirm after setting all actions.
2. Tap Save to create the scene.

How to run a scene

1. Go to Scenes.
2. Tap the Scene Tile you want.
3. Press Play.
4. All devices move to their preset states at once.

Real-life example — "Movie Mode"

Instead of doing everything by hand:

• Living Room Lights → OFF
• Corner Lamp → 30% dim
• Curtains → Close
• TV → ON (through the IR Blaster)
• Fan → Speed 1

You just tap Movie Mode, and the whole room is ready in seconds — no manual switching.

What it does

While making a scene, you can type an exact colour temperature value (in Kelvin) for supported lights. This gives you precise control over the mood — warm for a cosy night, cool for focused work. You can choose any value between 2000K and 6500K.

How to set it up

1. Open the app and tap Automations at the bottom.
2. Tap the + icon and select Scene.
3. Enter a scene name, such as Movie Mode, or a custom name.
4. Tap Next.
5. Select the room.
6. Choose the compatible light driver switch and turn it ON.
7. Select the action and choose Set Colour Temperature.
8. Enter a value between 2000K and 6500K.
9. Tap OK and create the scene.

Real-life examples

• For a cosy movie night, you set the light to a warm 2700K in your "Movie Mode" scene.
• For your work-from-home scene, you set a cool 5000K so the room feels bright and alert.

What it does

A routine runs a set of devices automatically at a time you choose. It is perfect for daily habits like waking up.

How to create a routine

1. Go to Scenes.
2. Tap Routine.
3. Tap Create Routine.
4. Enter a Routine Name.
5. Select a trigger time.
6. Select the rooms to include.
7. Choose the devices you want to automate.
8. Set each device's action (ON / OFF / Dim / Fan speed / Open / Close).
9. Tap OK, then Create Routine.

Real-life example — "Good Morning Routine at 6:30 AM"

Every morning at 6:30 AM:

• Bedroom Lights → Turn ON (40%)
• Curtains → Open
• Fan → Speed 2

This wakes you up naturally, without touching any switch.

What it does

A workflow runs an action when a condition is met — for example, "if the temperature goes above 29°C, turn on the AC." It uses your sensors to make decisions for you.

How to create a workflow

1. Tap Automation from the bottom tab bar.
2. Tap "+" → New Automation.
3. Tap Workflow.
4. Enter a Workflow Name.
5. Select the Room.
6. Select Timing:

• Always, or
• Timed → set Starts At and Ends At.

1. Tap Next.
2. Tap Add Trigger → select the Sensor Type.
3. Choose the Condition → set the value → tap OK.
4. Tap Add Action → select the Action Type → configure it.
5. Tap Save Action, then tap Save.

Your workflow is now created.

The steps below are the same for every workflow. Only the trigger and the action change. Here are all the ready-made workflow types.

---

For each one, follow the Workflow steps above (Automation → + → New Automation → Workflow → name → room → timing → Next → Add Trigger). Then set the trigger and action shown here, and tap Save Action and Save.

#### 🌡 E5.1 — Temperature: Auto AC Cooling

• Trigger: Sensor Type = Temperature, Condition = Above, Value = 29°C
• Action: Remote Action → AC, Power = ON, Mode = Cool, Temperature = 20°C, Delay = No Delay
• Meaning: If the temperature goes above 29°C, the AC turns ON at 20°C.
• Real-life example: On a hot Nagpur afternoon, the bedroom crosses 29°C while you nap. The AC switches on by itself and cools the room to 20°C.

#### 💧 E5.2 — Humidity: Moisture Control

• Trigger: Sensor Type = Humidity, Condition = Above, Value = 70%
• Action: Remote Action → AC, Mode = Dry / Cool, Power = ON, Delay = No Delay
• Meaning: If humidity goes above 70%, the AC turns ON.
• Real-life example: During the Mumbai monsoon, the room gets sticky and humidity crosses 70%. The AC turns on in Dry mode and the room feels fresh again.

#### ⚡ E5.3 — Current: Overload Protection

• Trigger: Sensor Type = Current, Condition = Above, Value = a safe limit you set
• Action: Switch Action → Turn OFF, Delay = No Delay
• Meaning: If the current goes above the safe limit, the device turns OFF.
• Real-life example: An old motor starts drawing too much current. The workflow trips it OFF before it overheats or damages the wiring.

#### 🔌 E5.4 — Voltage: Appliance Safety

• Trigger: Sensor Type = Voltage, Condition = Above / Below, Value = a limit you set
• Action: Switch Action → Turn OFF, Delay = No Delay
• Meaning: If the voltage goes too high or too low, the appliance turns OFF.
• Real-life example: In a town with frequent voltage swings, a sudden high-voltage spike would harm your TV. The workflow switches it off to protect it.

#### 💡 E5.5 — Light: Auto Lighting

• Trigger: Sensor Type = Light, Condition = Below, Value = low brightness
• Action: Switch Action → Turn ON, Delay = No Delay
• Meaning: If the room becomes dark, the lights turn ON.
• Real-life example: As the sky darkens before rain, the living room lights turn on automatically so no one sits in the dark.

#### 🔘 E5.6 — Switch: Scene Trigger

• Trigger: Sensor Type = Switch, Condition = ON
• Action: Scene Action → Select a scene, Delay = No Delay
• Meaning: When a switch turns ON, your chosen scene runs.
• Real-life example: When you switch on the main hall switch in the evening, your "Evening" scene runs — soft lights on, curtains closed.

#### 🔥 E5.7 — Gas: Safety Alert

• Trigger: Sensor Type = Gas, Condition = Detected
• Action: Notification Action + Switch Action → Turn OFF (optional devices), Delay = No Delay
• Meaning: If gas is detected, you get an alert and chosen devices turn OFF.
• Real-life example: A gas leak is detected in the kitchen while you are out. You get an immediate alert, and the workflow can switch off the connected exhaust or appliances for safety.

#### 🚪 E5.8 — Door: Entry Automation

• Trigger: Sensor Type = Door, Condition = Open
• Action: Switch Action → Lights ON, Delay = No Delay
• Meaning: When the door opens, the lights turn ON.
• Real-life example: You reach home at night with bags in both hands. As you open the main door, the entrance light turns on by itself.

#### 💧 E5.9 — Water Level: Tank Control

• Trigger: Sensor Type = Water Level, Condition = High / Full
• Action: Switch Action → Motor OFF, Delay = No Delay
• Meaning: When the tank is full, the motor turns OFF.
• Real-life example: Your overhead tank fills up. The motor switches off on its own, so water doesn't overflow and waste — and the motor doesn't run dry later.

#### 📳 E5.10 — Vibration: Tamper Alert

• Trigger: Sensor Type = Vibration, Condition = Detected
• Action: Notification Action, Delay = No Delay
• Meaning: If vibration is detected, you get an alert.
• Real-life example: Someone tampers with your main gate or cupboard at night. The vibration trigger sends an alert straight to your phone.

#### 🔐 E5.11 — Lock and Doorbell Event Triggers

What it does: You can use smart lock and doorbell events to start automations. A workflow can run when a smart lock is locked or unlocked, or when a doorbell ring is detected. These can control switches, curtains, notifications, scenes, and more.

How to set it up

1. Open the app and tap Automations at the bottom.
2. Tap the + icon to create a new automation.
3. Select Workflow.
4. Enter a workflow name and select the room.
5. Set the active time window (Starts At and Ends At), or choose Always.
6. Tap Next.
7. Under Sensor Type, select Lock or Doorbell.
8. For Lock, choose the event: Locked or Unlocked.
9. For Doorbell, select Rings.
10. Configure the actions — switches, curtains, notifications, or scenes.
11. Tap Save.

Real-life examples

• When you unlock your smart lock in the evening, the entrance and hall lights turn on automatically — a warm welcome home.
• When the doorbell rings, a "Welcome" scene runs and the gate camera opens so you can see who is there.

What it does

This automates a device based on the daily sunrise or sunset time. The app adjusts the time every day for your location, so you never have to change timers as the seasons shift.

How to set it up

1. Open Scenes in the app.
2. Tap the + icon.
3. Select Sunrise or Sunset as the trigger.
4. Choose whether the device acts exactly at sunrise/sunset, or add an offset (5 minutes, 50 minutes, or up to 4 hours before/after).
5. Turn on Location Grab so the app updates the time for your city automatically.
6. Tap Next.

Choose the action

You can add several actions using the + icon. Action types include:

• Switch Action
• Regulate / Dimmer Action
• Remote Action
• Curtain Action
• Send Notification
• Run Another Scene

Example setup:

1. Select Switch Action.
2. Choose the Room.
3. Select the device (for example, Outdoor Light).
4. Choose the action (ON).
5. Tap Save Action.
6. Then tap Save.

Why it is useful

• Outdoor lights turn ON at sunset and OFF at sunrise — no manual effort.
• Curtains open at sunrise, helping you wake up naturally.
• Garden and compound lighting runs perfectly every day, even as sunrise/sunset shift.
• Energy waste drops, because the timing adapts daily.

Real-life examples

• Your compound and gate lights come on every evening at sunset and switch off at sunrise — automatically through the year, even as days get longer or shorter.
• You set the bedroom curtains to open 30 minutes after sunrise so you wake up to natural light.
