How this automation works

Control your smart switch automatically based on your Wi-Fi connections. This Applet runs whenever a specified device connects to your TP-Link router and turns on a selected Switchur Switch. It’s ideal for automating home presence detection or energy-saving routines by syncing connected devices with smart switches.
