How this automation works

Automate your laundry process effortlessly by letting your dryer pick the right program and adding a visual cue through smart lighting. This runs when your Home Connect washer cycle finishes, triggering your Home Connect dryer to start the recommended program and your Philips Hue lights to blink. Perfect for busy households who want to streamline laundry time with smart appliances.
