Will IFTTT Integration return?

A_Tyrrell — Tue, 15 Apr 2025 09:38:19 GMT

Hi there,

I wanted to create, what I thought was, a simple automation.
If my Nest doorbell detects a person after 1am, the Hue Spotlight in my porch will turn to 100% brightness.

But there’s no IFTTT integration at all since Google took over!

Any word on if this will return, or is there an alternative solution.

I feel like more and more I should just replace all my Nest devices for Ring.

Actually it looks like I can do this inside the Google app 😂

I’m still interested if IFTTT will return though

Well if you could support in setting up an automation as mentioned above it’d be appreciated.
I tried using the Google Home app and it didn’t work.

Is there a specific reason you are leveraging IFTTT for that vs doing it in Google Home via Script Editor?

My guess is you are not aware of Google Home Script Editor. Along those lines I am not sure why it is not promoted more.

Anyway...
