How this automation works
Automatically manage your Heatmiser thermostat and hot water boost to take advantage of low electricity prices. This runs when your Agile Octopus energy import price falls below your chosen threshold and can factor in carbon intensity. Ideal for users who want to optimize heating and hot water use based on real-time energy prices. Customize the message to fit your tone.

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.
34 triggers, queries, and actions
Carbon Intensity Change
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 activates when the carbon intensity changes based on user-defined conditions, such as intensity thresholds and specific time ranges. It uses live and forecasted carbon intensity data to evaluate and validate actions.
Contact Sensor Closed
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 Contact Sensor is closed
