Lighting/Dimmer Automation?

The short answer is just use core, It can do everything you want and then some. :sunglasses:

Separately, I did just want to say that yes, you can have a routine trigger a routine – – you do it by having the routine turn on a virtual switch, and the virtual switch runs the routine.

I mention this, because it’s very commonly used with voice control and specifically with the IFTTT channel. Flip a switch and a routine runs. Or you may find some use cases where that’s the quickest simplest way to do it.
