What is the Schedules Feature?
The Schedules feature lets you automate your lights. You can set actions based on time, day, or natural events like sunrise or sunset. Whether you're celebrating, following a routine, or syncing lights with sunset, Schedules ensure your devices work automatically without needing you to control them every time.
This guide explains how to view, create, edit, and manage schedules.
