This trigger fires every time a device in your house turns on or off.
History of device turned On/Off

A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns a list of when a device in your house turns on or off.
Activate shortcut
Action
An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
This Action will activate the shortcut you specify.
