How this automation works

Protect your equipment by turning off a YoLink switch automatically when lightning is nearby. This Applet runs when your WeatherFlow Tempest Station detects a lightning strike and sends a signal to the selected YoLink device to turn off. Ideal for safeguarding antennas, smart devices, or other outdoor electronics during storms.
