What’s better than one smart home product? A smart system of Link2Home devices, working together in sequence! Find out how it works here.

 

What’s a smart home sequence?

A smart home sequence is where your smart devices perform a series of tasks, making your life run more smoothly. You can create the series of tasks to suit your needs and your lifestyle, all in one app.

What’s an example of a smart home sequence?

Here are some shortcut sequences that are popular:

• Good Morning: The lights slowly come on, the thermostat goes up, the kettle boils, ready to for a smooth start to the day.
• Night Watch: There’s a footstep outside, the bedroom light comes on, the cameras start recording, helping you protect your home.
• Whatever the Weather: The camera detects that the room is overheating and turns down the thermostat.

What triggers your smart home sequence?

You can choose how to trigger your sequence. The sequence can be triggered by just a tap on your app, or by an action, or by the environment.

What smart control options are there?

• Tap to Run

You decide when to run the sequence. Add a shortcut to your home screen and then it’s just one quick tap.

• Automation

No need to tap, your sequence will begin automatically, based on any of these triggers:

• Inter-device synchronisation
  • One device being activated triggers another one. For example, your camera detects a motion and the lights come on.
• External environment
  • Trigger your sequence by weather changes such as temperature, humidity, windspeed and even the sun rising and setting.
  • Trigger your sequence by location, such as your arrival or departure from a specific place.
• Schedule
  • Trigger your sequence depending on a specific time on specific days
