¶ Relay Automations Guide
¶ Overview
This guide will go over how to create and manage Automations for relays.
Automations are used to react to abnormalities with the relays made in the Control Page Guide. Automations are based on sensor data. This is good for reacting to changes in weather, pressure, and moisture or lack thereof.
¶ Adding Automations

| Description | This is the name of the automation you are making, keep it descriptive. |
| Device | This is the device of the sensor you want to compare against. |
| Device Sensor | This is the sensor you want to compare with. |
| ON Condition |
To turn on, the ON Condition must be met. To make an automatic heat control, the ON Condition would be greater than so that when the temperature is greater than say 100 degrees, the ON Condition would be met and would turn on the sprinklers to make it cooler. |
| ON Value | This is the value you want to compare with. In my previous example for ON Condition this value would be 100. |
| OFF Condition |
To turn off, the OFF Condition must be met. For a heat control automation, you would want the OFF Condition to be a cooler temperature like 90 or 80 degrees. |
| OFF Value | This is the value required to turn the automation off. In my previous example for OFF Condition this value would be 90 or 80 degrees. |
| Trigger Dwell | This is how long the ON Condition should be true before the relay turns on. Sensors can sometimes give incorrect readings or they might only hold a reading for a few minutes. The longer you make this, the more sure the sensor is that the condition has been met. |
| Relay | This is the relay you want to turn on. |
| Pulse Period |
If you want the relay to cycle on and off, this is where you do it. Choose Enable Pulse to start making a pulse. Set a Max Duration, a Re-Arm Period, Pulse ON Time, and Pulse Dwell Time. Max Duration is the longest you want the Event to last. Re-Arm Period is the time before the event can be created for a second time. If you want an event to occur only once per day, make this value between 10-20 hours. Pulse ON Time is the time the pulse should be on for. Pulse Dwell time is the time the pulse should rest before starting again. These times must be within the event if you want multiple pulses. The other two options are Always ON, which keeps the relay on during the whole event even when the event gets extended. The last is Max ON Time, this limits the duration the event can happen for even if the ON Condition is met. |
| Enable Automation | Select this to enable the automation and un select it to turn automation off. |
