Change Yeelight color when air quality exceeds threshold

How this automation works

Automate your lighting to respond to air quality changes detected by your Kaiterra device. When the air quality index (AQI) goes above your chosen threshold, your Yeelight color will automatically change to alert you. Ideal for maintaining a healthy indoor environment and saving time with smart home automation.
