Turn on LightwaveRF light when Hubitat detects motion

Connect

How this automation works

Automatically illuminate areas by turning on your LightwaveRF light when Hubitat detects motion. This runs whenever one of your connected Hubitat motion sensors senses movement, instantly activating your selected light. It's ideal for hands-free lighting in stairways, hallways, or any frequently used area where convenience and energy savings matter.
