Why Use Automation in Your Tuya Smart Home?
Automation transforms your smart home into an intelligent assistant. Instead of manually controlling devices, you can let Tuya handle lighting, heating, alerts, and more — automatically, based on triggers and conditions.
1. Motion-Activated Lights
Use a PIR motion sensor to turn on hallway or bathroom lights automatically at night. Add conditions to trigger only after sunset.
2. Good Morning Scene
Schedule a scene to open smart curtains, turn on the coffee machine, and gently light your bedroom at 7:00 AM on weekdays.
3. Water Leak Alerts
Place a leak sensor under your sink or washing machine. If water is detected, send an alert and flash all smart bulbs red.
4. Auto-Off for Forgotten Devices
Create a rule to turn off plugs or lights if they’ve been on for more than 30 minutes during the day.
5. Smart Door Welcome Light
Use a contact sensor on your door to trigger hallway or entrance lights when someone arrives home after dark.
6. Climate-Based Fan Control
If temperature rises above 27°C, turn on a fan connected to a smart plug. Combine with humidity or weather conditions for smarter behavior.
7. Child Safety Lock Mode
When a certain scene is activated (e.g., “Child Lock”), disable sockets or turn off certain plugs to child-proof your home remotely.
8. Away Mode Lighting
Simulate presence when you’re not home. Randomly turn on/off lights between 7–10 PM when “Away” mode is active.
9. Air Quality Alert
Use a Tuya-compatible air quality sensor to notify you or turn on a purifier if PM2.5 or CO₂ levels exceed a set threshold.
10. Energy-Saving Scenes
Set a scene to turn off all unnecessary devices when no motion is detected for over 15 minutes in any room.
