How this automation works

Automatically set your Aquanta water heater to Away mode by sending a tagged email. This runs whenever you send an email with a specific hashtag in the subject line to your IFTTT email address. Perfect for managing energy use remotely before trips or extended absences using Aquanta and Email services. Customize the message to fit your tone.
