Turn on the lights when you arrive home
How this automation works
Automate your laundry routine by having your LIFX lights turn on when your GE Dryer finishes a cycle. This Applet runs whenever your connected GE Dryer sends an end-of-cycle event, automatically turning on your chosen LIFX lights with your preferred settings. Perfect for easily noticing when your laundry is done without checking the dryer itself.
