SmartThings Automation Examples for EPL

These examples use the standard SmartThings routine builder.

To create a routine, open the SmartThings app and go to Automations > + > Create routine.

Use If for the EPL trigger or condition, and Then for the action such as lights, scenes, notifications, or ventilation.

Turn lights on when the room is occupied

Tip: set Zone 1 to cover the desk area before creating the routine. Use Zone Configurator to create or adjust zones.

Use a zone for a sofa or seating area

If:

• EPL Zone 2 changes to Motion detected

Then:

• Set living room lights to your evening scene

This works best when the zone has already been tuned so it only covers the seating area.

Use illuminance to avoid daytime lighting

If:

• EPL Presence changes to Motion detected

Condition:

• EPL Illuminance is below your chosen lux value

Then:

• Turn on the lights

Air quality notification with CO2

This requires the optional CO2 module and CO2-enabled firmware.

If:

• EPL CO2 rises above your chosen ppm value

Then:

• Send a notification

• Turn on ventilation, if available
