Turn on Lutron lights when you arrive home
How this automation works
Automatically turn on your driveway lights when your garage door opens. This Applet runs whenever your Garadget detects the door starting to open, and sets your connected Lutron lights to full brightness. Perfect for safer arrivals and improved visibility when coming home after dark.
