Guest Mode Automations!

Published by Shane W. on

Why you need a GUEST MODE for your smart home!

Imagine this… you are entertaining guest one night, then your nighttime automations run, leaving everyone in the dark and arming the security system. Not good.

In today’s video we’ll discuss how you can avoid this embarrassment by creating a simple “Guest Mode” in HomeKit. Essentially we are creating a system that will skip automations at the times we don’t want them to run. Get creative and use this concept for other ways such as vacation mode, babysitter mode, and more!
