How to set up an "IF-DO" Automation

The Lightwave Smart Home app allows users to set up automations that trigger specific actions based on a chosen condition. The “If-Do” automation lets you link devices, so one device’s activity automatically controls another — perfect for creating smart routines like switching on a lamp when a main light turns on.

🔧 Steps to Create an “If-Do” Automation

1. Open the Lightwave App

Launch the Lightwave app on your smartphone.

2. Tap the Green ‘+’ Button

At the bottom center of the screen, tap the green '+' button.

3. Choose Automation Type

From the menu, select “Automations”, then tap “If-Do” from the list of automation types.

4. Select Your Trigger (If)

  • Tap “Add Trigger”.

  • Find the relevant room, select the device you want to use as the trigger, and then choose the condition (e.g., “Switch is ON”).

  • Tap “Done” in the top right corner.

5. Select Your Action (Do)

  • Tap “Add Action”.

  • Find the room containing the device you want to control.

  • Select the device, choose the desired action (e.g., turn switch ON), and tap “Done”.

6. (Optional) Add Time/Day Restrictions

Tap “Time and Day” to limit when this automation runs:

  • Add a specific time

  • Choose applicable days of the week

7. Review & Name Your Automation

Provide a name for the automation (e.g., “Lamp On with Main Light”), or leave it blank to auto-generate. Check that the trigger and action settings are correct.

8. Finalise and Activate

Make sure the Active toggle is turned on. You can also enable Push Notifications if desired. Tap Done to save.

🧠 Example Use Case

“If the Main Light is turned on, then turn on the Desk Lamp.”

  • Trigger: Main Light (Switch ON)

  • Action: Desk Lamp (Switch ON)

🔍 Tips

  • You can combine multiple actions under one trigger.

  • Use Groups or Scenes for broader smart control routines.

  • Automations can be toggled on or off anytime from the Automations tab.
