| − | Simple lighting is designed to be, yes, the simplest way to automate the lights in your home. You can control both lights and switches and easily select a wide range of triggers to turn them on or off. Let’s get started with a rule that turns our dining room light on when there is motion and turns them back off when motion stops for 3 minutes.

| − | #In the ''Apps'' page of your Hubitat Web Interface, open the Simple Lighting App.
| |
| − | #Select ''Create New Simple Lighting Rule''
| |
| − | #Select ''Which Lights Do You Want To Control?'' Check all lights that apply and press ''save''.

| |
| − | #Next you can select ''How Do You Want to Trigger the Action?'' You will be presented with a variety of trigger types based on the devices in your system. After you select the type of trigger you you want to use, a new box will appear for you check the specific device(s) you want to trigger this rule. You also have the option to turn on the lights at a specific time, at sunrise/sunset or when a selected mode changes.

| − | #Some devices, such as motion detectors, will ask if you’d like to ''Turn Off When [Motion] Stops'' (Conversely, if you selected ''off'' originally, this will automatically turn the lights ''on''). The default it Off. Motion sensors will also have the option to ''delay this action''. This will delay the lights from turning off until motion has not been sensed for the number of minutes you select.
| |
| − | #Your Simple Lighting rule will automatically name itself based on the inputs you have selected. If you’d like to give it a different name, turn on the toggle on the ''Edit Rule Name?'' option and give your rule the the carefully crafted name you so desire.
