How do I set up home automation routines?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Home automation routines let your smart devices work together automatically. For example, a Good Morning routine can turn on lights, adjust the thermostat, and start your coffee maker. A Good Night routine can lock doors, turn off lights, and lower the thermostat. Most smart home platforms have a routines or scenes section in their app where you create triggers based on time, sensor activity, or voice commands. Start with simple routines like having your lights turn on at sunset and build up from there.

Why It Matters

Automation routines are what make a smart home truly smart. They save you time and energy by handling repetitive tasks automatically.
