Can I have a routine trigger another routine?

Is there a way to have a routine trigger another routine? Or is ther a way to have a routine run when the mode is set to night?

Yes, but you have to use a virtual switch act as a gobetween.

Routine A turns on the virtual switch

The virtual switch triggers Routine B via a smartapp you’ll find in the marketplace:

(“Home phrase” was the original term for “routine”)

And Routine B turns off the virtual switch again so that it will be ready for the next time. :sunglasses:

If you haven’t created a virtual switch before, here are the instructions for that:

Thanks for the tips. I see what you are going for with the virtual switch. I got my virtual switch set up but I have run into a problem with the “switch activates home phrase” smart app. If I don’t specify a routine to run when the switch is off, it won’t let me save it.

But I do t want to run a routine when the switch is off. I simply want to run a routine when the switch is on.

Any ideas?
