Why Use Automation?

Automation lets your environment respond without human input. For example, turn on fans when temperature rises or close blinds at sunset.

How It Works

Smart devices are connected to a controller or cloud service. You define logic: IF temperature > 30°C THEN turn on fan.

Practical Examples

• Motion detected → turn on lights
• Low light → open window blinds
• High humidity → activate dehumidifier

Setup Tools

Use dashboards for input, and tools like Node-RED or Home Assistant for rule setup.
