Creating routines and automations in the new Innr app (for Bridge BG 220)

By creating routines and automations in the Innr app, you can program your smart lights once, and enjoy automated lighting endlessly. We’re here to help you out with creating routines, timers, sunrise or sunset automations, or a wake-up or go to sleep automation!

What is a routine?

A routine is a setting for selected lights. With the Innr app, you can use preset routines, but you can also create your own. With routines, you can easily switch on the right mood. Routines also make it easy to schedule a daily program, adapted to your own daily routine.

Step by step creating a routine

1. In the Innr app, go to the top right of your screen and tap the “+” icon.
2. Tap “Add Routine”, which is the second option in the screen.
3. Choose a name for your routine.
4. Choose an icon for your routine (this is optional).
5. Select the devices you want to include in the routine.
6. Tap on the device(s) to change its/their colour to your liking.
7. Press “Save”.

The routine should be at the end of the list of routines.
