For the kids
When the sun sets, the fairy lights come on.
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.

Sunrise and sunset
Fairy lights at sunset. Never on all day.
Pick sunrise or sunset, or a few minutes before or after. The kids get their fairy lights the moment it gets dark, and for grown-ups the lights are never on all day.

- For grown-upsLights only when it is dark. Never on all afternoon.
The hub knows the sunrise and sunset where you live, every day of the year, so the times shift with the seasons by themselves.
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
Asked and answered.
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.
Do automations still work if the internet goes down?
Yes. They run on the hub in your house, so the lights, the heating, the blinds and your scenes carry on as normal.
Will you set them up for us?
Yes. Tell us your routine and we set up the scenes and automations with you when we fit. After that you can change them, or add new ones, whenever you like.
