What is IFTTT and how does it work?

IFTTT is a software platform that helps you connect all of your different apps and devices so they work seamlessly together. People use IFTTT to “teach” their smart home devices to carry out certain behaviors when certain actions are triggered. For example, some people might use IFTTT to teach their Amazon Alexa to turn off all house lights when the clock hits 11pm. See a list of similar integrations on the IFTTT Website.
