Create your own iHome Control and Knocki workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
15 triggers, queries, and actions
Gesture with task matching ID occurs
Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This trigger fires if you tap a gesture with a custom IFTTT task matching the ID of this trigger.
Leak Sensor (iSB02) detects leak (or absence of leak)
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires based on the detection of a leak.
Motion Sensor (iSB01) detects motion (or absence of motion)
Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This trigger fires based on motion detection.
Multi-Sensor (iSS50) crosses a humidity threshold
Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This trigger fires when a humidity threshold is crossed.
Multi-Sensor (iSS50) crosses a temperature threshold
Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This trigger fires when a temperature threshold is crossed.
Multi-Sensor (iSS50) detects light (or absence of light)
Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This trigger fires based on light detection.
Multi-Sensor (iSS50) detects occupancy change
Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This trigger fires when occupancy is detected or no occupancy is detected.
Multi-Sensor (iSS50) detects sound (or absence of sound)
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires based on sound detection.
Window/Door Sensor (iSB04) is open or closed
Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This trigger fires based on Open/Closed detection.
History of a specific IFTTT task triggered by tap gestures
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns a list of times a specific IFTTT task was triggered by tap gestures.
History of Leak Sensor (iSB02) detects leak (or absence of leak)
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns a list of based on the detection of a leak.
History of the temperature threshold being crossed
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns a list of when the Multi-Sensor (iSS50) crossed the temperature threshold. Note: this query will only return future events after this Applet is created.
History of when Multi-Sensor (iSS50) detected light (or absence of light)
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns a list of based on light detection.
History of window/door sensor (iSB04) is open or closed
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns a list of Open/Closed detection.
Turn plug on or off
Action
An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
This action will turn your iHome plug on or off.
Gesture with task matching ID occurs
Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This trigger fires if you tap a gesture with a custom IFTTT task matching the ID of this trigger.
