Set a rule to Turn a switch on ,on Reboot? Wink relay

šŸ“ Rule MachineĀ®

When my wink relay resets, it boots with the switch off and my hue lights wonā€™t work. Is there anyway to make it turn on upon reboot

I don't know anything about the Relay, but @josh would (although I don't think he uses them anymore). However, if I had smart bulbs, I would not control them with a smart switch like the relay.

I would wire the bulbs to be always on. I would wire the switch to be powered as well. And then use Rule Machine to control the lights based on the switch being on or off.

I would too, but itā€™s too late. Iā€™m redoing all my outlets with smart switches in dec. Iā€™m going to make a thread later for suggestions. Thank you

You could create a rule to periodically send a command to turn the relay on. If it's already on, it won't hurt anything as nothing will change. And if it's off from a reboot, then the command will successfully turn it back on for you. :slight_smile:
