Automate a scene with Home on iPad
In the Home app 
you can automate scenes based on the time of day, your location, the activation of a sensor, or the action of an accessory. Follow these steps to create automations.
Tap the Automation tab.
Tap Create New Automation, then choose one of the following automation triggers:
When arriving or leaving a location: Tap People Arrive or People Leave, tap Location, then choose a location. Tap Time to specify when the automation works—during the day, at night, or at times that you set.
At a time of day: Tap A Time of Day Occurs, then choose when you want this automation to run.
If you choose Sunset or Sunrise, the time will vary as the season changes.
You can also set an automation to only occur after sunset, which is useful for turning on lights just when they’re needed.
When an accessory changes: Tap An Accessory is Controlled, select an accessory, then tap Next and follow the onscreen instructions.
You might use this, for example, to run a scene when you unlock the front door.
A sensor detects something: Tap A Sensor Detects Something, select an accessory, then tap Next and follow the onscreen instructions.
You might use this, for example, to turn on lights in a stairway when motion is detected nearby.
To disable an automation, tap the Automation tab, tap the automation, then turn off Enable This Automation.
When iPad is in your home, it will run your Home automations even when your iPhone or iPod touch isn’t present. If you have an Apple TV and you’re signed in using the same Apple ID as your iPad, it’s paired automatically and enabled for automation.
