Where to start
Section titled “Where to start”Create a task
Section titled “Create a task”Ask in Chat — for example, “Remind me to check the doors every night at 10” — or open Scheduled tasks → New task and enter the work and schedule.
Manage tasks
Section titled “Manage tasks”The list shows frequency, next run, and the latest result. Pause or resume recurring tasks, open details, run a task now, or remove it. Completed one-time tasks move into their own section.
Check results
Section titled “Check results”One arrangement can include multiple times and devices, such as cooling at 08:00 and restoring a comfortable temperature at 08:30. The list shows one automation; expand it to inspect and edit each step. The overall switch pauses or resumes the arrangement while preserving steps that were paused individually. Use “Group existing tasks” to combine an existing arrangement without changing its schedules or history.
Paused arrangements are collapsed by default. Expand them to see whether they were paused by request, after repeated execution failures, or for another recorded reason. Each time remains an independent trigger; grouping does not guarantee a delay measured from another step’s successful completion.
Results return to Home and remain in run history. If a task depends on devices, check the Source and device status when it does not produce the expected result.
