Create actions

The actions serve to switch/move the lighting and blinds at 20:50 with a time variation of ± 30 minutes during the summer holiday. The creation of the first action is explained using the ambient lighting in the living room. Further actions can be configured in addition.


  1. Create the Ambiance action on the Actions tab and select the Time schedule action type. Programme the timer 1, e.g.:
    • Friday to Sunday: 20:50
    • Random delay: 30 minutes
    • Living room
  1. Allocate the action to a room (area).

  1. Add the respective functions 2 to the action – here the lighting in the living room.
  2. Specify which status the functions (lamps) have when triggered [3], e.g.
    • Hue lamp on
    • Hue light colour: warm white
    • Illumination at 45 percent

  1. Create further actions in the same way for the lighting and blinds control with the relevant functions from Areas & Functions.
    Note: all functions that are added to an action are run at the same time.
