About this Applet
Control your gate and lights with a single Webhook trigger. When a specific Webhook event is received, this Applet opens your MyNice gate and makes your LIFX lights blink to confirm the action. Ideal for remote access or visual feedback when automating your smart home. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
