Totally new to SmartThings

Hen… not really (as far as I know), but it is roughly likes this:

  1. you will need to create a virtual switch in your SmartThings IDE: FAQ: Creating a virtual Device

  2. In IFTTT you need to connect both via Smartthings and Smart Life accounts (for Tuya based plugs),

  3. once connected, just run your IFTTT (if a, blah blah) - you will need one for On and one for Off (if On on Virtual Switch, switch On on SmartLife plug) - do a test afterwards

  4. and voila completed

The delay is like about 2 secs if you are in North America (I’m in Canada it is about that long). It is not ideal but bearable.
