Smart Features

Automation

Click ADD SMART on the SMART page or + at the top right corner and select AUTOMATION to go to the smart configuration page, as shown in Pic. 67.

Click + as shown in Pic. 67 to add multiple conditions or multiple actions.

Add condition:

For example, to add temperature as a condition, select temperature as shown in Pic. 68, configure temperature related conditions as shown in Pic. 69, and then click NEXT to add the condition as shown in Pic. 70.

Click ADD ACTION or + at the top right corner to open the menu.

There are four types of actions: execute scene, trigger automation, send a reminder and time lapse. (Pic. 71)

Valid Time Period:

You can set a valid time period for automation. For example, if you define a scene where the night light automatically lights up when the human motion sensor detects human presence, you can select NIGHT as the valid time period. In this case, the night light will not automatically turn on in the daytime.

Conditions and actions of automation can all be set up as shown in Pic. 74.

The system primarily supports three types of automation:

1. Inter device synchronization: such as turning on the aroma diffuser and air purifier automatically at the same time the A/C unit is turned on.
2. External environment and device synchronization: such as turning on the A/C unit automatically when the temperature falls below 0 C.
3. Timed actions: such as drawing back the curtains drawn automatically at 8:00 am every morning.

Scene

In Picture 75, select the scene and enter the Settings page. As shown in Picture 76, you can edit the scene name. Click ADD ACTIONS or + in the top right corner to add the execution action. The action menu is shown in Picture 77. Configuration is similar to that of automated devices. In addition, you can use siri to trigger the scene.

To configure a scene with TRIGGER AUTOMATION, you must set up an automated scene in advance. If existing automation options are available as shown in Pic. 78, select ENABLED AFTER TRIGGERING or DISABLE AFTER TRIGGERING. Then, click NEXT and enter scene name, and click SAVE at the top right corner to finish configuration.
