Winter and fall smart home Applets

As the weather changes in the northern hemisphere, we start to focus less on backyard bbqs and begin digging out the scarves from our closets. For smart home owners, this means that your Applets will likely be modified from managing your AC devices to automating the heat in your home.

Dress appropriately

Remember to put on an extra layer or grab your hat on your way out the door. You could even create an Applet that sets time on your calendar that you might need to defrost your car before your first meeting of the day.

Get cozy

With dozens of thermostat and heating services on the IFTTT platform, there are hundreds of ways to automate the way you keep your home at your perfect temperature. Location-based Applets can help you create an ambient temperature when you leave or come back, and keep it cozy for your pets while you’re away. These Applets conserve energy to reduce your electricity bills and cut back on manual time spent managing your thermostat.

Manage your home’s temperature based on the weather outside or when the inside temperature changes. Or, tell Amazon Alexa you’re feeling a little chilly and have her take care of the details. With Eight mattresses, you can even climb into a nice warm bed.

Frozen pipe alerts

In much colder weather areas, frozen pipes can be a big concern. Leak detection tools ensure that you are alerted as soon as a leak is detected and before it can do any damage.

Cozy from the inside-out

Nothing says fall like coming home to a warm, delicious soup that has been cooking away all day, or curling up with a blanket and a cup of tea. Applets can make it possible for you have the kettle boiling when you get home or alert you when your dinner is ready.
