How this automation works

Get alerts instantly when your Hubitat sensor detects water. This Applet sends an email, calls your phone, and sends a rich notification through the IFTTT app when water is detected by your connected Hubitat device. It's ideal for homeowners who want to prevent water damage by acting quickly upon detection. Note: Install the IFTTT app on your device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
