Hi,

I want to create a custom trigger-action like ;  
“when sensor 1 is open , take photo on camera 1"  
or  
"when light 1 is on , turn on light 2 as well”

I might also add a condition to this.

So I need a customizable app. Is this doable with default options ?  
Is there a smart app that I should use for this ? (it should be customizable)  
Or , should I create my own smart app for this ?

Thanks.

It is a community supported smartapp. It is not in the marketplace. You need to set it up via the IDE.

Check out this link for instructions on installing smartapps.

thanks. I’ve integrated my IDE with my github account and reached the apps rule and rule machine. Now I will try them.  
Thank you very much for the assistance.
