How this automation works

Control your smart lights automatically with a single web request. This Applet turns on your selected LIFX and TP-Link Tapo lights and adjusts their color whenever your Webhook event is triggered. It’s perfect for connecting custom devices or automation scripts to your lighting setup. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
