How this automation works

Control your blink(1) device automatically when a MESH Tag event is received. This Applet runs every time your selected event in the MESH app fires, sending a matching blink command to your connected blink(1) light. Ideal for adding visual notifications or alerts based on MESH sensor events around your workspace.
