1. Click "+" in the top right of the "My Applets" page to establish a new Applet. (Applet stands for a full process with condition & task)

2. Tap "this" to add a condition in the new page, and then enter "Smart Life" in the search box, select the "Smart Life" option.

*Here is the example of "turn on the plug", see the pictures as below.

1. Tap "that" to add a task, and then enter "Smart Life" in the search box, select the "Smart Life" option.

2. Select detail action in Smart Life, choose the corresponding equipment, and then tap the "Create action" to save this task.
*Here is the example of "turn on bedroom light"

3. Tap "Finish" to complete the creation of this Applet, and it will be saved automatically. You can check it in the "All" of "My Applet".
When we turn on the plug (trigger condition), the bedroom light will be turned on automatically (to perform the task).

Note: You can also select other service as the condition for "this" and as the task for "that", not just "Smart Life".

For example, take the location service "Location" in the figure as an example, set it as the trigger condition this, set the mail service "Email" as the execution task. when entering a certain area, send me an email.
