One of the most important settings is the selection of
the type de condition (condition type). This allows
automation to deal with multiple conditions.
• Quand toutes les conditions sont réunies

to an “ET” (“AND”) function:
- If Temperature = x ET (AND) time = y ET
(AND) device = n then…
• Lorsquel’unedesconditionsestremplie(When
one of the conditions is met) corresponds to a
“OU” (“OR”) function:
- If Temperature = x OU (OR) time = y OU (OR)
device = n then…
After selecting the condition type, choose the
conditions themselves:

the day, if necessary, during which to authorise the
automation launch:
Once all these settings have been confirmed, you
can save your automation at the top right
5.2.1PROGRAMMING THE “LIVING ROOM
LIGHTING” AUTOMATION
The automatic action in this example will allow the
user to turn on the bulb at night as soon as motion
is detected by the camera and the lamp is already
off. After a minute, the lamp will turn off until the next
detection.
First, select the condition type. In this example, all of
our conditions must be active to turn the bulb on. So
select quand toutes les conditons sont réunies
(when all the conditions are met).
Next, choose the conditions: in our case, we need
one motion detection condition and another for the
lamp to be off.
