Triggers

Triggers are what start an automation. They react when something specific happens in your home, like a light turning on, a door opening, or the sun setting. They don't keep checking whether something is true. When a trigger reacts, the automation checks its conditions and, if they are met, runs its actions.

Browse the full list below, or use the search box to find a specific trigger by name or description. Each trigger has its own page with a step-by-step UI walkthrough, examples, and a complete field reference.
