Blink Luxafor devices when you send an email to IFTTT

Connect

How this automation works

Create a quick visual alert by making your Luxafor devices blink whenever you send an email to your IFTTT trigger address. This runs each time an email is sent to trigger@applet.ifttt.com, instantly triggering your connected Luxafor lights. It’s perfect for easily signaling new alerts or messages. Customize the color to fit your needs.

Send IFTTT any email at trigger@applet.ifttt.com and this Trigger fires. You can optionally add a single file attachment and IFTTT will create a public URL to the file as an Ingredient. This trigger will reject emails with attachments over 30MB.
