Automatically turn your lights on at sunset
How this automation works
Automate your smart home by connecting Philips Hue and HomeSeer with Webhooks. This Applet runs whenever your specified Webhook event is received, briefly flashing your Hue lights and then triggering a chosen HomeSeer event. Perfect for creating quick visual alerts or synchronized smart home actions triggered from other devices or services. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
