Automatically turn your lights on at sunset
How this automation works
Automate your lighting by turning off selected lights when a weather condition reaches a specified level. This Applet runs when a chosen Ambient Weather parameter, such as solar radiation, goes above the limit you set, triggering your connected lights to turn off. Perfect for saving energy and syncing your lighting with natural conditions across MagicHue and Philips Hue devices.
