You can add up to 5 conditions for a single routine, when the routine is triggered by the first condition it will check all the others and if they are true then the routine will run the actions specified.

### There are two types of conditions, **Device and Time.**

**Device:** Triggers when a specific feature of a device is changed, for example when it is turned on or off, when there is motion detected or when a door opens or closes.

**Time:** Triggers at a specific time, it can be set to repeat every day or on specific days of the week
