Blink and toggle lights when your Abode alarm activates

Connect

How this automation works

React instantly to your alarm system by making your smart lights blink and toggle when an Abode alarm goes off. This Applet triggers whenever your Abode alarm activates and responds by blinking, toggling, and adjusting connected lights while sending a notification to your devices. Perfect for improving visibility and awareness in your smart home during security events. Note: Install the IFTTT app on the device(s) where you want to receive notifications.
