How this automation works

Control your Nexia smart home automatically using email. This Applet runs when you send an email to trigger@applet.ifttt.com with a specific tag in the subject line, then triggers your selected Nexia automation. Perfect for remotely managing your smart home via email when you’re away. Customize the message to fit your tone. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
