IFTTT - Automate work and home

IFTTT is a very user friendly app that is the key to unlocking the proverbial door to Home Automation market. It’s a “wizzywig”, What you see is what you get! It connects the plethora of Service(s), i.e., Alexa, Cortana, Google Assistant, etc. & those speaker devices. I’m using an iPhone a smartphone instead of those little speaker devices spread around your home that, BTW, are required if, gasp, you don’t have a smartphone. The really cool cornerstone feature is the ability to create “recipes” by linking different services to your IFTTT profile & building your personal widgets. I have had Logitech’s Harmony Home Hub that controls all devices that have an IR Remote Control. I recently purchased 2 WEMO Smart Plugs and a WEMO BRIDGE which allows any WEMO DEVICE to be recognized by Apple’s HOME app via the Apple TV 4th Gen. acting as the main controller. I can tell Siri a trigger phrase, Good Night, and the living room lights turn off. I can tell any of the popular, aforementioned, AI Asst., to turn off the TV, etc. Really good stuff is happening almost daily because of the ITFFF middleware so check it out! Warm Regards, Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening & Good Night. P.S. Imagine a World without...

After creating and using an applet or service that passes through any one of thousands of Amazin(sic) Server Farms (your day to day activities and search, browsing... “Your Life “ databank). If you just turn an applet or service off and it was accessed via “the farm,” it will continue to send the command as if the applet or service was not disabled: the events are still in the database as active unless the IFTTT app is disassociated from the background service by removing the service/applet, logging out of IFTTT, removing it then restarting your IOS device. If you reinstall the app, sometimes they clear, sometimes not...depends on the farm’s archiving method of overwrite or restore. Reminder activities are the worst; why, because they are always archive and restore. The only way to delete them is to completely delete the reminder from however many calendars, emails, lists... then remove the service or applet association to every account, IFTTT... a real nuisance

You cannot browse all your Applets anymore in one place. You cannot enable or disable applet notifications using the iPhone app anymore and the help article showing a screenshot of where that control should be is not there, at least for the applet I tried to disable notifications on. Tapping on a notification does not lead you to a page that is at all useful. The tapped notification and then disappears and it is nearly impossible to find the applet associated with the notification unless you remember which services it uses. Submitting a problem is an exasperating experience that tries your patience. You end up in an endless loop. All in all, what should take a handful of seconds takes over a half hour and ultimately results in not being able to accomplish what it is you tried to set out to do, Even though all you’re trying to do is turn off a notification of a specific applet. This latest version of IFTTT is much worse than previous versions.

This app is a joke. When I originally downloaded, I connected it to an account but did not use any new passwords. After reviewing the app itself, I decided it was not going to do what I needed to do. I also didn’t like that it wanted to connect with either Google or Facebook on my behalf. So I tried to delete the app. It would not let me delete the app without a password. However, the password that apparently has been assigned to the account is one that I did not use Ann is not matching any of the passwords I typically use. Hence, I could not delete the app. So, I attempted to send a request for technical support, but I was continually asked to select portions of pictures which I did repeatedly. I must’ve been given 20 different pictures. Bottom line,I cannot delete the app. I don’t know the password you’ve given me. There’s no way to delete the app and there is no way to contact your support team. I am very unhappy. Put it all together and I believe your app is a security risk.

Let me start by saying that IFTTT has been my favorite home automation app since 2012. I always think of it as the app that makes the impossible possible. This was one of the few apps that I would have been happy to pay for if it ever became a paid app. For the longest time, it was also very accessible to voiceover users — people who are blind and visually impaired who use the voiceover screen reader on iOS. Most interface elements had labels and you could get to any part of the app using the tabs at the bottom. The new app, however, broke all that. If you are using voiceover and you launch the app, all you hear, apart from the search edit box is “button button button button”. Within an update, this app went from being the miracle maker to being completely useless. Please, please please take a bit of time and bring back the accessibility labels — it’ll make a world of difference to so many people!
