Automation is simply the way in which different eufySecurity devices interact with one another when they are all synced to the same HomeBase.

What is Device Automation

The Automation feature allows a device that is set as a trigger to activate other devices which are connected to the same HomeBase.  For example, you can set the motion sensor as a trigger, and once the motion sensor detects movement, the eufyCam will start recording video.

You can create your own automation on the eufySecurity app.  Choose a trigger device and add an action as you desire.  The automation will be activated automatically according to the settings you create.
 

Automation Triggers and Actions

Currently Automation only supports devices connected to the same HomeBase.

The list below displays the “Trigger” which can be set to each device:

Recommended Automations

1. Motion Sensor detects motion ---> eufyCams record video.

2. Entry Sensor detects motion ---> eufyCams record video.

3. One eufyCam detects motion ---> other eufyCams record video.

Note: 

• IndoorCam / Floodlight camera / Wired doorbell / Smart lock are not supported because they do not connect to the HomeBase.
• You can add up to 20 groups of automation; Up to 8 trigger devices and 16 action devices for each group.
