How this automation works

Track your energy device activity automatically as you arrive at specific locations. This Applet runs when your phone detects that you’ve entered a chosen area and logs a change in your selected OhmConnect device’s status. It’s perfect for automating home energy management, syncing your arrival with energy-saving actions, and keeping a record of device usage.
