C’mon, guys! This should be a simple thing. Please help?
MaximillianCMemberThat said, I guess I should point out that, given the extremely low price of these plugs (at 1/4 the price or less of the competition), I guess missing features like that are probably part of the reason the price is so low, and we should accept that. I would definitely be willing to pay a little more for the IFTTT integration, though. 🙂
MaximillianCMemberI just swapped out my TP-Link Kasa plug for one of my Emporias, assuming that if it worked with Alexa and Google, it must work with IFTTT. Doh! 🤦♂️ I’m really disappointed that over two years after we were told you’d be working on it “in the coming months”, it’s still not done, as far as I can see. Whether or not hundreds of your customers are clamoring for it in your forums here, I can guarantee you there is a substantial portion of your customer base who will be quite disappointed (as was I) when they realize it doesn’t work with IFTTT. My most-pressing need is just to be able to turn the plugs on and off through IFTTT, but as others have said, I could also really use the ability to use energy usage thresholds as triggers in IFTTT, as well. Someone mentioned being able to know when certain devices/appliances finish their cycles on your phone, and that’s one use case I would appreciate, as well, for my washer, dryer, distiller, and even humidifiers (when they run out of water). Keep in mind that each one of us who is clamoring for this is another Emporia customer who is likely to be shopping around for a different energy monitoring plug that does have the IFTTT integration, as I am now doing–and therefore, a customer at risk of being lost.
