Continuing the discussion from IFTTT and SmartThings : [image] IFTTT and SmartThings (UK accounts) I know that this has caused consternation for lots of IFTTT users. As a novice I don’t really know what IFTTT can offer to ST users. Would it be possible on this, or a new, thread for IFTTT users t…

[image] JDRoberts: Smartthings has an IFTTT channel, and there is also an IFTTT “SMS” channel that is triggered simply by sending a text with a specific hashtag. I’d seen this channel, but had no idea it contained this functionality. And I’m happy to report that it works with my non-carrier G…

I’m going to look as how effective it’ll be to use IFTTT plus Alexa to open/close my garage doors. Right now I’m using Alexa directly to SmartThings, which works, but it isn’t very “natural.” I use three commands: 1.) Turn on Chris’ Garage Door – Alexa always understands this, but it doesn’t soun…

I use it to flip a virtual switch to backup my sunset and sunrise times. No more scheduler woes for me. I also use it to flip a virtual switch that shows the status of my Rachio. Sometimes I hook up things to not run while my sprinklers are running. If you go to IFTTT you can also browse recipes…

I used to have over 30 recipes, when I was using Wink, Lutron and Harmony hubs, now I only have one. I use a virtual switch with IFTTT Maker to dismiss SHM intruder alerts and its hourly reminders.

How did you do this? That would be fantastic to have!

Look at this thread… [image] Ways to dismiss SHM Intrusion Alerts! SmartApps & Automations I know you can dismiss the intrusion alerts from within the SHM app, but are there any other ways of dismissing an incident without using the phone?

I was thinking about using IFTTT to log energy usage from an Aeon Appliance Switch to a Google Spreadsheet but it doesn’t appear to allow me to log the energy property just the state. Any thoughts on if this could be accomplished? I am a newbie so I may be missing something.

@chrisb I’ve seen you post a couple of times about your issues with Alexa and the garage door. If you don’t mind, how have you got it set up and what garage door opener are you using? I’ve got the NuTone garage door opener paired directly to ST. I created a virtual momentary button tile and label…

Hmm… now you’ve got me wondering. I’ll have to do some checking/testing myself when I get home later today. Maybe I don’t need to use my app at all. My app worked great my with my Ubi but it was a little convoluted and required setting up like 4 virtual tiles as triggers or as Boolean variables (…

So this morning after reading a post that @JDRoberts wrote in a similar thread I remembered why I set mine up with the virtual momentary button. There is a synching issue when using echo. Echo does not know the state of any switch and will toggle a switch no matter the state of that switch. ST o…
