Create Automation

In the nomos system Controller, you can create a new automation that responds to specific conditions and triggers. Automations allow you to automatically control devices or scenes based on predefined rules.

Steps to Create an Automation:

1. Automation Name:
   • Enter a unique name for the automation so you can easily identify it later.
   • Example: "Turn on lights at sunset."
2. Add Trigger:
   • Click "Add your first trigger" to define a trigger.
   • A trigger is an event that starts the automation, such as reaching a specific time, turning on a device, or detecting motion.
3. Set Conditions:
   • Optionally, click "Add your first condition" to add conditions that must be met before the automation is executed.
   • A condition could be, for example, that the automation only triggers at night or only when no one is home.
4. Define Actions:
   • Click "Add your first action" to define the actions to be executed when the conditions are met.
   • An action could be, for example, turning on the lights or sending a message.
5. Enable Negative Actions:
   • Optionally, you can also define negative actions that, for example, undo a specific action when the conditions are no longer met.
6. Save Automation:
   • After all triggers, conditions, and actions have been defined, click "Add" to activate the automation.
   • The automation is now displayed in the list of automations and is ready to run.
7. Cancel:
   • If you wish to cancel the process, click “Cancel” to stop creating the automation and return to the previous screen.
