How this automation works

Automate your smart home lighting or devices whenever someone presses your Ring Doorbell. This Applet runs each time your Ring Doorbell detects a new ring and triggers a LightwaveRF event of your choice. Perfect for syncing your front door activity with smart lights or security scenes. Note: Users will select their Ring device and LightwaveRF event when enabling.
