Knox Configure Routines

Knox Configure Routines allow you to easily program devices to respond to events based on various factors. The automated responses are triggered by context clues such as time, battery level, charging status, and more. Simply put, with KC Routines, you can apply dynamic event-based settings and actions to your devices without any code. Customize different use cases with Routine Applets by mixing multiple triggers and actions.
