How this automation works

Control your Cololight panels with dynamic lighting effects triggered by Webhook events. This Applet runs when your Webhook receives a specific event and changes your Cololight setup to the selected dynamic effect. Perfect for reacting to smart home sensors, notifications, or custom app triggers using Webhooks. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
