Automations

Homenavi's automation engine lets you compose workflows from triggers, branches, loops, sleeps, and device or integration actions.

Trigger types

• Manual — run a workflow on demand from the UI.
• Device state — fire when a device changes state (via the HDP state plane).
• Schedule — run at a time, interval, or cron-like cadence.

Building a workflow

1. Open Automations in the app.
2. Create a workflow and pick a trigger.
3. Drag nodes onto the canvas: branches, loops, sleeps, device commands, and integration actions.
4. Target devices by room, tag, or group — selector semantics resolve the inventory automatically.
5. Save and watch the live run stream to verify behavior.

Example: evening lighting routine

Trigger: schedule 21:30
  ├─ Command: living-room lights -> off
  ├─ Sleep: 10m
  └─ Command: hallway lights -> dim 20%

Integration actions

Integrations expose actions through the runtime metadata, so automation workflows can call things like Spotify playback commands or LG ThinQ appliance routines directly.

Tips

• Use the run stream websocket to debug workflows in realtime.
• Test with the mock adapter profile before wiring real hardware.
• Keep workflows small and composable; branches are easier to debug than monolithic chains.
