If This Then That, or IFTTT, is a free online service that integrates your favorite products and online services together to establish conditions among apps and other devices. Now EWeLink has seamlessly integrated with IFTTT. By connecting “eWeLink Smart Home” on IFTTT App or ifttt.com(available for eWeLink Vip Advanced and Pro users), you can create favorite applets to trigger on/off Sonoff devices by smart devices (other eWeLink devices or IFTTT supported smart device) or services, or you can trigger on/off other services or devices by Sonoff device. We have provided some available applets for you. You can also create more new applets. IFTTT provides you unlimited possibilities.

Here are some examples:
Turn off a Sonoff device at sunrise and get instant notification
Turn on a Sonoff device at a specific time
Turn on a WeMo switch to trigger on a Sonoff device
When a Sonoff device is on, send a tweet or facebook message
When you enter into a defined area, your Sonoff lights will auto-on

Now let’s get started setting up IFTTT to control Sonoff models.

FAQ

Q1. Can I see the temperature and humidity of Sonoff TH?

Answer: Sorry, all the sensor data including temperature, humidity, light level, noise level can’t be seen on IFTTT. Thus you can’t use the sensor data to trigger IFTTT supported devices or services.

Q2. Will one applet trigger another applet?

No. IFTTT doesn’t support inter-trigger applets. So you can’t make them trigger circularly. For examples: You have two applets.
Applet 1: when 4ch channel 1 is on, trigger off 4ch channel 2.
Applet 2: when 4ch channel 2 is off, trigger on 4ch channel 3.
The result will be: When 4ch channel 1 is on, channel 3 can’t be triggered on. It only runs the direct applet.
