Automations & scenes
So simple, the kids make their own.
When this happens, do that. Make one in a few taps or describe it in a sentence: fairy lights at sunset, the heating up before breakfast, the porch light for whoever comes to the door. It all runs on the hub in your house.

Scenes
One tap. The whole room changes.
Morning, Leaving, Arriving, Cinema, Dinner, Night, Party and Focus. A scene sets the lights, blinds, heating, TV and speakers in one go, with one tap or one sentence. Want another one? Describe it and the app makes it.

Questions
Your questions, answered plainly.
Can the kids really make their own?
Yes. Pick when, pick what happens and tap Save. It reads like a sentence, with big coloured buttons, so if they can read it, they can make it. Fairy lights at sunset makes a good first one.
What can start an automation?
A time, sunrise or sunset (with minutes before or after), motion, a door opening, a door left open for a few minutes, no movement for a while, a leak, smoke, the first person home, the last person leaving, or a camera seeing someone.
Can it check something first?
Yes, with an only-if: the time of day, the days of the week, whether the sun is up or down, not on bank holidays, whether someone is home or nobody is, or the alarm's mode. An automation can check the alarm, but it never sets it: you do that from the app or the panel by the door.
What is the difference between a scene and an automation?
A scene is a set of changes you start yourself, with one tap or one sentence: Cinema puts the TV on, the lights to 20%, the blinds down and the speaker up. An automation starts by itself when something happens, and it can start a scene too.
