Advanced Automations & Scenes

Intermediate 5 lessons 20 min

Basic schedules and voice commands are just the beginning. Real smart home power comes from automations that respond intelligently to what's happening in your home.

This course takes your automation skills from simple timers to sophisticated, multi-condition routines. You'll learn how to use presence detection to trigger actions when people arrive or leave, build conditional logic that considers time, weather, and device states, and create layered scenes that set the perfect environment for any activity. We cover cross-platform automation design, edge cases that break simple rules, and testing strategies that ensure your automations work reliably every time.
