Rules triggers that you can set up to tell your devices to do different things. For example, tell your lights to come on at sunset, tell your doors to lock when your system is armed, or tell your camera to take a picture when your door opens. Rules are different from scenes because only a single device type can be triggered (I.E. Rules will only allow you to control lights or door locks based on a single trigger).
To set up a rule:
From the main page of your app, click the “Automations” option in the menu bar at the bottom of the screen.
A list of scenes and automations will be displayed. Click any existing scene or rule to modify it, or click the “+” icon in the upper right hand corner of the page and choose “RULES” from the tabs at the top.
Select the type of automation you want to create and follow the onscreen prompts.
