Turn on the lights when you arrive home
How this automation works
Automatically illuminate your space by turning on your LIFX lights when motion is detected by a Wireless Tag sensor. This Applet runs whenever your selected Wireless Tag registers movement and switches on the assigned lights instantly. Ideal for improving convenience, energy efficiency, and security in your smart home setup.

Create your own LIFX and Wireless Tag workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
64 triggers, queries, and actions
Back in range
Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This Trigger fires when a specified tag comes out of "out of range" state. Only tags with auto-update is enabled can come out of "out of range" state.
Brightness returns to normal
Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This Trigger fires when a specified tag senses that its ambient light intensity returns between the upper and lower thresholds configured at light options screen inside the WirelessTag app.
