IFTTT

The IFTTT component in Ilevia Manager: connect switches and scenes and use the generated links in an IFTTT applet with Webhooks.

The IFTTT component generates web links for each switch or scene you connect, which control the system. Use them in IFTTT applets with the Webhooks service, for example to turn on a light at a specific time or when something happens in another service. It replaces the old tag-based IFTTT configuration.

Adding the component

  1. In Ilevia Manager, open the Components tab.

  2. In the Components Library, open the Voice Control category.

  3. Drag IFTTT into the My components list.
