If the holidays are being hosted at your house this year, you probably have a thing or two to prepare. You have a lot on your plate between coordinating who brings what, and when your main dish comes out of the oven. Let IFTTT help with some of the details.
Clean the house
You can integrate your robot vacuum with your calendar so it knows to clean up before your guests arrive, or press a button so it begins to tidy up. Your Litter-Robot can even handle cleaning up after your pets, so that’s one less thing to do.
