Using the “Tap-to-Run” settings you can create quick one touch shortcuts to a series of events. These “Tap-to-Run” events are then added as a shortcut in your “Home” screen.
For Example:
You could create an event called “Good morning” in this event you can turn on your lights, boil your kettle and turn up your thermostat.
Another example could be “Goodnight” this would turn all lights off, turn down the thermostat and activate camera motion sensors.
Tap-to-Run events are triggered by events including:

Similar to using the “Tap-to-Run” you can create “Automation” tasks for individual devices or a group of devices that are triggered external events. These events require no manual trigger such as a button press and are triggered by external factors.
“Automation” events are triggered by external triggers including:
