Automate Elektrum and Timberwolf Server from your AI assistant
Ask Copilot to create Elektrum applets that automate your devices when electricity prices shift, right from your AI assistant, with IFTTT MCP.
Set up IFTTT MCP
Create your own Elektrum and Timberwolf Server 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.
10 triggers, queries, and actions
Current price exceeds 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 current electricity price exceeds threshold
Object value has changed
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 a Timberwolf Server object has changed.
Switched off
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 is fired when the value of a boolean Timberwolf object changes to false.
Switched on
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 is fired when the value of a boolean Timberwolf object changes to true.
The price of electricity changes
Polling trigger

This trigger fires hourly when electricity price changes
Electricity price list
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
Day-ahead prices represent the result of Nord Pool’s day-ahead implicit auction market.
Peak = 09:00 to 20:00
Off peak 1 = 01:00 to 08:00
Off peak 2 = 21:00 to 24:00
Average = arithmetic average
History of Timberwolf object value changes
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This returns a list of value changes recorded after this query is created.
Set value
Action
An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
Set a Timberwolf Server object to a specified value. The selected Timberwolf Server will convert the textual value to the datatype of the target object. You can connect the target object to another subsystem like KNX, 1-Wire, Modbus, MQTT, HTTP or Timeseries
Switch off
Action
An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
This action will set a boolean Timberwolf object false.
Switch on
Action
An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
This action will set a boolean Timberwolf object true. You may connect the object on your Timberwolf Server to other services like KNX, 1Wire, Modbus oder MQTT.
Current price exceeds threshold
