Apple Home: Triggering an Aqara light based on a condition involving a light from another manufacturer

  1. Launch the Apple Home app.
  2. Go to the “Add Automation” menu.
  3. Sélect a condition, for example, “At a specific time.”
  4. On the next screen, select “Sunset” (for example) and tap “Next.”
  5. On the next screen, scroll to the bottom and select “Convert to Shortcut.”
  6. On the next screen, tap “Search for actions.”
  7. On the next screen, select “Scripts.”
  8. On the next screen, select the “If” condition.
  9. On the next screen, you can program the automation using various elements managed by Apple Home. Let’s take, for example, an Aqara light named “Sink-Stove” that only turns on if a Philips Hue light is off (see attached image).
