IFTTT Aggregated Reviews

Listen to the advice on the RSS feed. I have IFTTT setup using the Reddit support and I burst in on mechmarket threads selling FC660Cs consistently an hour late and a buck short.

An alternative to IFTTT could be Twitter. This subreddit rss is hooked on a Twitter account. If you have Twitter, you can set your Twitter client to send push notifications on every single tweet from that account.

Unfortunately IFTTT is too slow for any of the actually good deals that get posted here. It’s easily over 4 hours behind on emails and notifications consistently

WiFi connecting direct to IFTTT. Interesting concept. Might be great for beginners or small scale projects, but unworkable for a system with any scale (or, for that matter, lights).

IFTTT? Ugh. No thanks. I’d like my lights to turn on now, not 3-whenever minutes from now.

I would rather have the improved security and privacy with the changes being made by Google/Nest than worry about the loss of IFTTT support – I am sure they will offer some limited integration options with the Assistant API model that Google is pushing.

Fuck Google.
I bought a Nest Protect because I have a specific use case that needed the IFTTT integration. There’s nothing else available (that I know of) that is suitable.
Understand if there’s a technical limitation preventing third-party dev/access, but this just comes across as forcing people to use Google’s ecosystem.
Again, fuck google.

I don’t think I use ifttt for anything. Like I think I did it for lights and some small things at one point. But with nest protect and the indoor camera, I don’t really use ifttt much. My use has been turn on/off bedroom/living room lights, what’s the forecast, what’s traffic like, subway status, etc. I’m guessing this impacts those who mostly rely on ifttt for lots of third party devices. I think that sucks but also think, compared to users overall, those people are in the minority.

Just got an email from IFTTT saying nest support ends August 31st

IFTTT won’t work with the Nest API. IFTTT currently works with Google Assistant, so ultimately it will only change which service IFTTT communicates with and the process will still be the same.
