IFTTT Integration

Blueiris8:
I am hoping that Almond+ will eventually support IFTTT integration.  It would allow Almond+ to integrate with a ton of other applications/services with much less effort than trying to integrate with the services individually.  Additionally, since it already has SMS and Phone Call integration, this would be one less thing Securifi would have to stand up.  I saw the note a that Securifi would consider it if there was enough demand, so here is one voice of demand.  :) 

For those not familiar with ifttt.com, check it out and then come back here and list the scenarios you could create if Almond+ was connected to the services below.  I would love to hear the great ideas people would have (might have to use some myself).

Want that video your security camera took automatically sent to dropbox or one drive or box?  Done.  Want your power usage sent to a google drive spreadsheet?  Done.  Wanna blink the lights in your house everytime your team scores a touchdown?  Sure, why not. Done.

Also, note some other smarthome applications are already on the list (in bold below).

LGNilsson:
We're not against adding support for IFTTT, but please don't expect this to happen for at least six months, as we have so many other things we need to finish off first and then work with you guys on tweaking to make everyone as happy as possible with how it works.
Maybe this is someone one of the developer level backers could look at doing?

robh5791:
I have been using IFTTT for a few months now and adding this would be a great idea. It makes sense that it would take time but I just wanted to weigh in on also wanting this to be integrated. I have backed other tech projects and understand it takes time to integrate all the things people want after the product is released into the wild for us to make suggestions on added integration. Again, I am only adding my voice to this integration.

LGNilsson:
All good, requesting features is fine, we just won't be able to do it all at once  ;)

clayginn:
Wait are we talking about the IFTTT website or company or the idea of IFTTT. With out the idea of it this is a waste of time. The idea of automation is  well Automatic. I don't just want to turn my lights on and off with my phone. I want that when the smoke alarm goes off it signals the heater to turn off. then flashes the lights in all bedrooms, then email and Txt a list of people I set.
