How this automation works

Stay informed and keep track automatically when one of your Hubitat devices powers on. This Applet triggers when your selected Hubitat device turns on, then sends a notification and logs the event in a Google Sheets spreadsheet. It's perfect for monitoring smart appliances or keeping an activity record for connected devices. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
