Creating a routine for smart home devices

With routines you can automatically control your smart home devices whose settings you saved in templates and scenes by using an if-this-then-that statement. Routines allow you to realize very versatile and individual switching of your smart home devices.

In an if-this-then-that statement you define a specific action that is executed when a specific condition is met on a trigger. In this case a smart home device, for example the door/window contact FRITZ!DECT 350, serves as the trigger. The action is automatically executed, i.e. a template or a scenario is activated when a condition on the trigger, for example the opening of a window, is fulfilled.
The following is an example of a routine: If the window is opened, the previously configured scene "Light flashes red" is applied.
