Focus Filters

When you turn on a Focus mode, WristAssistant can trigger Home Assistant actions automatically. Sleep Focus dims the lights. Work Focus sets the office. Driving opens the garage. Runs in the background without opening the app.

Work — Activates: Office light to work brightness. Deactivates: Normal lighting.

Driving — Activates: Open garage, exterior lights. Deactivates: Close garage, entryway lights.

Exercise — Activates: Gym lights on, fan to high. Deactivates: Gym lights off.
