How this automation works

Automatically power on your smart home devices when you arrive at a specific location. This runs when your phone detects that you've entered the area you set, and it triggers connected Smart Life, SwitchBot, and Yeelight devices while optionally sending a mobile notification. It’s great for automating your homecoming routine with lights, appliances, and alerts. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
