Start iRobot cleaning when you leave home
How this automation works
Automate your cleaning routine by starting an iRobot room cleaning via a simple Webhook trigger. This Applet runs whenever your specified Webhook event is received and sets designated Lutron lights to your chosen brightness level before the cleaning starts. Perfect for syncing lighting and cleaning tasks for a coordinated smart home experience. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
