Create and schedule automations for your C by GE devices. You can either create and schedule automations based on Scenes you’ve created, or by App Room.
IMPORTANT: You must create one automation to turn your lights and devices ON and another to turn them OFF. This ensures there are no conflicting and overlapping schedules.
AUTOMATE A SCENE
You must have at least one Scene created in your App Location.

4. Select Automate a Scene
5. Select the Scene you want to automate and tap Next. If you have not created a scene yet, you will need to do so before continuing: How to Create a Scene

- When selecting Sunrise or Sunset, the time will be static at the Sunrise or Sunset time for that day.
- Tap Time of Day to select a specific time you want your automation to trigger.
