How this automation works

Automate your smart home by turning off a SmartThings device and refreshing your Android wallpaper when it’s turned on. This runs whenever your selected SmartThings switch is switched on, triggering both the device shutdown and wallpaper update instantly. Great for syncing ambiance or automating your room setup using SmartThings and Android Device.
