Blink Philips Hue lights when Mi|Home device powers on

Connect

How this automation works

Automatically blink your Philips Hue lights when one of your Energenie Mi|Home devices powers on. This runs each time a connected Mi|Home device switches to the on state, briefly flashing your Hue lights to indicate power activation. Perfect for creating visual alerts when smart plugs or appliances start up at home.
