How this automation works

Automate your workspace by turning off an iDevices-connected light when your MyQ door closes. This Applet runs whenever your selected MyQ door is detected as closed, and it instantly turns off the compatible iDevices product you choose. Ideal for saving energy or ensuring lights are off when a door shuts.
