• Run Home Action: This powerful action allows you to apply four types of HomeKit actions in bulk to the input items: Trigger Scene, Switch Device Status, Change Device Property and Change Primary Home.
• Get Home Items: Lists all HomeKit items and allows you to filter them with lot of configurable parameters like type (scenes, devices, device groups, rooms and homes), service type (like lightbulb, outlet, thermostat), name, room, home, activation status and a lot more! The action output includes all these fields, device properties (like light brightness or a thermostat target temperature) and additional sensor information (like temperature, humidity, air quality).
Action Types:
• Trigger Scene: Allows you to trigger one or multiple HomeKit scenes.
• Switch Device Status: Activate, deactivate or toggle one or multiple device or device groups.
• Change Device Property: Allows you to change any supported device or device group property (like light brightness or thermostat target temperature; see the notes below for the full list).
