I’m using the Home app on two iPhones and an iMac. It basically works but I haven’t figured out how to do this:
I want to periodically check a temperature sensor and take an action (or not) depending on the reading. (I do NOT want to take action based on a temperature change alert.)
Is this possible? If so, how do I do it?
thank you
In the Home app (on either the iPhone or Mac):
Here is what it should look like:
Repeat the same procedure to create a new home automation but this time choose 6 PM (4 hours after 2 PM) for the time the automation should trigger.

I guess you would have to create home automations based on “A Time of Day Occurs” at regular intervals. But that will become cumbersome if you need to check the sensor every 5 minutes.
This is exactly what I want to do.
Let’s say, every four hours I want to check a temperature sensor and if it’s over X° I want to turn on an outlet. If it’s under Y° I want to turn an outlet off.
I know how to specify time of day but not how to do the rest. Can you point me to instructions that explain how to do this?
Addendum: For the outlet (what I showed as the Comment action in the "If" block), add the action "Control Home" and choose your outlet.
