Turn on Smart Life device at sunset automatically
How this automation works
Activate your Smart Life lights automatically when Sighthound Video detects motion or another rule event. This Applet runs whenever a configured rule in your Sighthound Video setup sends an event to IFTTT, immediately turning on your chosen Smart Life lighting device or group. Perfect for adding automated security lighting when something is detected in your monitored area.
