All lighting automations are configured using the 'Smart Lighting' app within the SmartThings ecosystem. This app allows you to create highly customized rules. To set up an automation, you'll select the specific motion sensor or multi-purpose sensor that will serve as the trigger. Then, choose the smart lights, light strips, or smart switches you want to control. You can specify actions such as turning lights on to a certain dimmer level, automatically turning them off after motion stops (with a customizable delay), and restricting the automation to specific times of day (e.g., sunset to sunrise or a custom time range like 9:00 PM to 4:30 AM) or even particular days of the week. This flexibility allows for precise control over your home's automated lighting.
