How this automation works

Control your home lighting and outlets with the press of a YoLink Flex Fob. When a specific Fob button is long pressed, your selected LIFX scene turns on and chosen YoLink outlets toggle power, while an Apilio variable updates to true for automation logic. Perfect for setting the mood instantly and coordinating smart devices for a relaxing evening.
