Automation Breakdown

Gradual Light Wake-Up

The lights start at 1% brightness and gradually increase to 50% over 5 minutes. This mimics natural sunrise and is gentler than sudden brightness.

Climate Control

Sets the thermostat to a comfortable 72°F in heat mode.

Smart Appliances

Automatically turns on the coffee maker so it’s ready when you get to the kitchen.

Weather Notification

Sends a notification to your phone with current temperature and forecast.

Tips

• Adjust the time trigger to match your wake-up schedule
• Modify brightness levels based on your preference
• Add more actions like playing music or opening blinds
• Use mode: single to prevent multiple instances if automation is triggered again
