It can be very useful to have all the lights in your house or in a room turn on automatically. Of course, you can set a fixed time for a device or group to turn on, but it may be desirable to have this time adjusted to the season. For example, based on the daily changing time of sunset.
In the example below we show you how to set this up. We take as a goal that the group of lamps with the name Desk, automatically switch on, 30 minutes before sunset. It is important that a location is set in the Hihome App because the location determines the automatic determination of the time of sunset, per day.
The images in this example are screenshots in the Dutch language. If you have set another language it will be different in terms of language, but visually equivalent.
1. From the main screen, select Scene

4. Next, select Sunrise/Sunset.
5. Select Sunset > Choose 30 minutes before sunset to follow this example. The lamp will turn On in this example, 30 minutes before sunset. Of course, you can choose whatever you want. Note, choose your location. Your location determines the sunset schedule.
6. Now the trigger of the automation is created. Then choose what should happen by clicking on the + at Then.
7. In this example we want to turn on a lamp > Run the device
8. Select the lamp or group in question and select ON.
