How this automation works

Keep your home warm automatically when it gets too cold indoors. This Applet runs when your Ecobee thermostat detects that the indoor temperature has dropped below a chosen threshold, triggering an Alexa routine and adjusting your Ecobee hold setting. It's ideal for anyone who wants to maintain a comfortable home climate or automate furnace heating with Ecobee and Alexa. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
