How this automation works

Get alerted instantly with a light flash when your Blink camera detects motion. This Applet runs each time your selected Blink camera registers movement, triggering your Nanoleaf lights to flash for a few seconds. Perfect for quick visual motion alerts in smart homes with Blink and Nanoleaf devices.
