Automatically turn your lights on at sunset
How this automation works
Stay visually informed of important updates by automatically adjusting your lights when new articles appear in a specific Feedly category. This Applet triggers whenever a new article is published in your chosen Feedly category and then turns on and changes the color of your Philips Hue lights. Perfect for hands-free alerts while you’re focused on other activities or across the room.
