How this automation works

Automatically turn on your eWeLink Smart Home switch when Sighthound Video detects a new camera event. This Applet runs whenever a configured rule in your Sighthound Video camera sends an event, switching your connected device on immediately. Ideal for enhancing home security or automation by linking camera detections to smart lighting or appliances.
