> [@Clyde](#): > > … how I can test the one created automation I’m not sure I know what you mean by “test”? SmartThings doesn’t have a debugger. So if you have used Smart Lighting, just trigger the real-world condition(s) in the real-world and see if the actions occur in the real-world. You can get some diagnostics in the **Live Logging** tab of [https://account.smartthings.com](https://account.smartthings.com) ### What is your automation supposed to do? ---

Ok Sorry for my poor english. I mean,if I have created an automation and this starts only at 2 o’clock at night. how can I check this before so I do not have to stay up until 2 o’clock at night? in a routine I find no way to dim the light and change the color tone is that correct? ---

> [@Clyde](#): > > how can I check this before so I do not have to stay up until 2 o’clock at night? - To test, just temporarily change the automation start time to a few minutes from “now” (e.g., 5pm instead of 2am). If it works at 5pm, then set the time to 2am and it will work properly then. > [@Clyde](#): > > in a routine I find no way to dim the light and change the color tone is that correct? - I don’t know all the limits or powers of Routines. There are more options in Smart Lighting. You can have a Routine turn on a Switch, and the Switch can be used as a trigger in Smart Lighting to do more. - There are many better SmartApps with more control. One of the easy ones with a lot of flexibility (but as an iOS App only, is “Smart Rules” in the Apple Store. - For lighting control, search the forum for “Trend Setter”. - The most popular powerful “rules engine” solution is webCoRE.
