How this automation works
Automate space mission tracking and device control effortlessly. This Applet turns on your selected Hubitat device and sends a Webhook request whenever a new astronaut enters space. Great for space enthusiasts and smart home users who want to celebrate launches automatically. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
