Control your smart home with weather

Always be prepared for what’s outside with Weather Underground’s hyperlocal data and IFTTT’s powerful notification services. Using weather data to inform your IoT devices can help them run more efficiently and be a powerful way to control your smart home. Just as the temperature and conditions help you determine what to wear, they also inform the choices you make about the indoor temperature, gardening decisions, and lighting settings.

Fine-tune your smart home automatically with IFTTT and weather.

Physical notifications

Using smart lights to communicate the weather can be both fun and informative. Use these Applets to remind your kids to bring their rain jacket or to ensure you never forget to wear sunscreen.

Smart home temperature settings

Monitor and maintain the ideal indoor temperatures based on the weather. Using the “Current temperature drops below” or “Current temperature rises above” triggers, you can rest assured knowing your pipes won’t freeze or that you won’t return to a too-hot house after work. These Applets are also ideal for property managers who can maintain their properties from afar.

Home settings and routines

Sunrise and sunset triggers are perfect for creating home routines and settings throughout the day. Automatically open the blinds in the morning and turn on your porch lights in the evening.

Smart gardening

Smart garden and outdoor devices can assist you in maintaining a yard that will be the envy of your neighborhood. With weather Applets, you can stop questioning whether you are over- or under-watering your plants. Skip mowing your lawn if it just rained and only start your sprinklers when the sun is down to avoid scorching your grass.
