Run an Alexa routine when you press the button
How this automation works
Automate your home air quality response using Airthings, Alexa, and SmartThings. This Applet runs when your Airthings device detects that the PM2.5 level drops below a chosen threshold, triggering an Alexa routine and turning off a SmartThings device. Ideal for keeping your air clean and devices energy‑efficient when the air quality improves.

Create your own 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.
55 triggers, queries, and actions
Air pressure level above threshold
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 when the air pressure level for a device rises above the provided threshold.
Air pressure level below threshold
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 when the air pressure level for a device falls below the provided threshold.
