Get IFTTT notification when ComEd Peak Time Savings Hours are announced
How this automation works
Automate your smart home to respond when energy prices rise. This Applet runs when ComEd detects a change in average price above your set threshold and triggers a Virtual Button press. Ideal for users who want to adjust their smart devices or routines when electricity costs increase. Note: This requires installation of the IFTTT app and a linked Virtual Buttons account.
