Tasks basis of device trigger
A device trigger makes sure that certain actions and/or notifications are sent, when a sensor (which is paired to HomeWizard) is activated. Conditions that can be added are presets, days and/or time scales. Because of this, you can create various tasks with the device trigger. Some examples of tasks that you can create with the device trigger:
- Receive a notification on multiple phones when the smoke alarms goes off and you are not at home.
- Turn on the light in the bathroom when movement is detected.
- When the Invited door lock is unlocked, receive a notification on your phone.
- When I'm at home in the weekend an the humidity is above 60%, the extractor in the bathroom should be turned on.
There are many other examples, some are easy others more sophisticated. Take for example a task which uses all options that the device trigger offers. For example, you want to create a circuit that looks as following:
IF someone presses the doorbell between 8:00 - 18:00 on weekdays when I'm not at home, ...
... THEN want to receive a notification en the lights in the hallway will go on for 3 minutes. Device trigger.
