How this automation works

Stay informed and protected by automatically getting notified and turning off your Hubitat device when it activates. This runs the moment your selected Hubitat device turns on and then sends a phone call, SMS, and email alert while powering the device off. Perfect for monitoring leak sensors, alarms, or any sensitive smart home equipment that needs immediate response.
