How this automation works

Get notified immediately if your fridge door stays open longer than it should. This Applet triggers when your SmartHome Refrigerator detects the door has been left open for too long and sends you an email alert. It’s perfect for preventing food spoilage or energy waste—stay informed wherever you are. Customize the message to fit your tone.
