How this automation works

Control your Philips Hue lights and get an instant alert when a Switchur automation is triggered. This Applet runs when your selected Switchur automation is evaluated with a specified result, then changes light color, blinks or turns them on, starts LaMetric actions, and sends a mobile notification. Ideal for home automation enthusiasts wanting to visually and audibly respond to key events. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
