Basic Automation Flows

Arrival Routine

Turn on hallway light and living room lamp when you arrive (geo‑fencing or manual scene).

Bedtime Routine

Turn off all lights and fans at 11:00 PM; lock the door if using a smart lock.

Security Routine

Enable camera motion alerts between 11:00 PM–6:00 AM; porch light on at dusk.

Energy‑Saving Routine

Turn off plugs for TV, desk lamp, or router during work hours; auto‑on at 6:00 PM.

Step‑by‑Step: Create a Scene in the App

  • Open your smart home app (e.g., Tuya/Smart Life).
  • Tap Scenes/Automation.
  • Choose a Trigger (time, location, device status).
  • Select Actions (turn on/off, change brightness, lock/unlock).
  • Name the scene and test it.
  • Pin the scene to your home screen for quick access.

Tips for a Smooth Automation Experience

  • Keep devices on 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi for stability.
  • Name devices clearly (e.g., “Porch Light”, “Bedroom Fan”).
  • Use groups (e.g., “Living Room Lights”).
  • Enable two‑factor authentication in your app.
  • Review automation logs to troubleshoot.

Advanced Ideas (Optional)

  • Voice Assistant Routines: “Hey Google, I’m home” turns on lights and unlocks door (use safely).
  • Weather‑based triggers: Turn on dehumidifier when humidity is high.
  • Sensors: Motion/contact sensors for hands‑free control.
