Automatically turn your lights on at sunset
How this automation works
Automate your smart home lighting control with a single Webhook event. This Applet runs when a Webhook request with your chosen event name arrives and turns off myStrom devices, updates Apilio variables, and shuts off your Philips Hue lights. It's perfect for syncing lights and logic conditions across platforms for a hands-free movie or bedtime setup. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
