IFTTT: setup

If This Then That (IFTTT) is a brilliant service that allows you to create 'IF' commands for everyday tasks. Click here to learn more about IFTTT.

General note

Before you can connect IFTTT you must first have registered in the WIFIPLUG app. Not yet set this up? Please see this guide on how to setup your WIFIPLUG account.

Note for customers with WIFIPLUG HOME

If your HOME plug is setup using the Apple Home app only then you will need to connect it through the WIFIPLUG app before it will be visible to IFTTT. Please see this guide on how to setup HOME in the WIFIPLUG app.

Step 1)

Download and install the IFTTT app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Once installed, launch the app and log in. You can login using Google, Facebook or your IFTTT account. If you don't have an account yet and don't want to use Google or Facebook to log in, press 'sign up' to create your IFTTT account.

Step 2)

Once logged in, go to the 'Search' tab and search "WIFIPLUG" to find the WIFIPLUG service.

           

Step 3)

Select the WIFIPLUG service and press 'Connect' to begin linking your WIFIPLUG account.

Step 4)

Enter your WIFIPLUG account login credentials. These are the credentials you would normally use when logging into the WIFIPLUG app.

          

Step 5)

Authorise IFTTT. In order for IFTTT to control your WIFIPLUGs you must grant it permission to access your account. Press 'ACCEPT' to authorise IFTTT or 'DENY' to cancel this process.

You have now successfully connected your WIFIPLUG account to IFTTT. Your WIFIPLUGs will now be available in any applets you create.
