Create Automation

In the nomos 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.
