+ Home Assistant meets IFTTT
+ + + + + +
Today we announce the release of Home Assistant v0.7.2 which includes brand new support by +@sfam to integrate with IFTTT. IFTTT stands for If This, Then That and is a +webservice that integrates with almost every possible webservice out there. Adding Home +Assistant to this mix means Home Assistant can connect with all via IFTTT.
+ +It is now possible to disable your irregation system if it is going to be cloudy tomorrow or tweet +if your smoke alarm goes off.
+ + + + +
+
