There is a whole world out there. I know nothing.

IFTTT - if then/ then that

https://lifehacker.com/the-beginners-gu ... 1819624556

Here is a article about it.

If anyone is has experience, please feel free to educate me.

I think I got some notification from Griddy that Nest whose expensive thermostats I have, but disconnected due to them being stupid, wont support IFTTT anymore, now that I figured out I could really use them now after the three big power spikes.

Help me join the modern world.

Used it when it first came out. It has its pros and cons. For straight forward apps, it works fine. Set up one app to turn on the security cameras and alarms when it detected I left the house. That one worked sometimes but couldn't rely on it. I don't know if it was the GPS or the security app that was the issue. Think I'll play with tonight and give it another try.

There are numerous videos and guides to help you set it up. Tasker is another app to check out.
