IFTTT (IF This Then That) allows you to connect your Hubitat Elevation™ to other IFTTT compatible devices and services to create rules that automate them. Getting started requires enabling devices in the Hubitat IFTTT app, then connecting your account to Hubitat via IFTTT.com

  1. From the Hubitat Web Interface select Apps

  5. When finished with your choices, select Done. NOTE: IFTTT is bi-directional, meaning you may have a device on your Hubitat Elevation™ you would like to control with a cloud enabled device or service connected to IFTTT, and this is also easily accomplished with the integration.
