[@IFTTT]

Nice overview of IFTTT for Smart Home. Thank you.

[@franktietjen6261]

I am new to Smart Home devices and it is nice to have an overview of these types of programs. Thanks

[@tristanbased-af2159]

I will defenitely try this!

[@tristanbased-af2159]

6:45 I always let it run at 2AM since it won't wake me up lol

[@bezleon]

Thanks for your info on IFTTT I am new to this, bought blink cameras and have Google Nest hub max. Was hoping the blink cameras would work on my Google, but if I heard you correctly it can't work with IFTTT. This means I have to get rid of my two brand new blink cameras and get Google cameras which cost more. Am I correct? Thanks Leon

[@suchitrahr552]

Can we use thingspeak to trigger some action for "if this " condition

[@ROBERTELECTRIC1]

Thanks for video.
Please tell me can iftttt to turn on front porch light which controls by lutron caseta dimmer switch . Front door camera is Eufy 2k .
I did try to do with Google home app but it does not have that option.
Thanks

[@premier69]

why is it 3.33 in cost for you and for me converted to swedish krona the equvelant of $5? (yearly option)

[@thetrainrev5483]

Hi great vid - thanks! I have a string of RGB LEDs that I am using to light up a wall as a background for a scene in front of it. I want to create custom-color scenes for sunrise, day time, sunset and maybe a cloudy day. How can I use IFTTT to do that? Can I store these different scenes and call them up through Alexa, my phone etc?

[@tonykunz5982]

Yes

[@deborahpage9733]

Brand new

[@freemovement]

You are basically reading and explaining in detail the different applets.

[@JuanSanchez-ik7wx]

I didnt see any trigger to flash the table lamp when my deaf spouse gets a phone call.

Slow t.f. down and pause for breath occasionally. :)

[@africanhistory]

IFTTT is as you said not a reliable system. I set up PC and monitor to sleep, enjoyed it and then one day just like that no more Google. No support no nothing. It is only a last resort.

[@mustafajunaidprograming]

please

[@d-i-p-basak5920]

It's fancy but not safe at all to give away the creds to some 3rd party company.

[@mustafajunaidprograming]

please
