Automation Generation Agent

The Automation Generation Agent is Builder Agent's third Agent on stage: activated when the user, after completing device recommendation and scene generation, wants to set up rules that execute only when conditions are met.

What Is an "Automation"​

An automation = a rule that executes only when its conditions are met.

No manual intervention needed — when the specified condition is met, the system automatically takes action. For example: "Living room temperature above 28°C AND someone is present → Automatically turn on the AC at 26°C."

:::Core distinction from a scene Automation is passively triggered (by a condition), while a scene is actively triggered (by a person). See Scene vs Automation for details. :::

Its Structure​

Each automation rule consists of three parts:

  • Trigger: What event kicks off the rule — time, sensor state, device state change, etc.
  • Condition: Under what circumstances to execute — multiple conditions can be combined with AND / OR logic
  • Action: What to do when conditions are met — turn on lights, turn off AC, send a notification, etc.

Example Walkthrough​

Example:

  • Trigger: Temperature sensor detects living room temperature > 28°C
  • Condition: Someone is present (PIR sensor detects motion)
  • Action: Turn on the living room AC, set to 26°C
