Overview

IFTTT (an abbreviation of "If This Then That") is a free web-based service that allows users to create chains of simple conditional statements, called "recipes", which are triggered based on changes to other web services and products.

IFTTT integration into URC allows URC to control any of the products or services integrated into IFTTT and have those products also control URC.

This expands the integration of URC to support numerous functions that it natively does not do.  We have listed a few examples of what integration can bring to URC below and have also stepped through programming some of the ones we feel are useful to a lot of people. Note that this is a small list of things we liked.  There are a lot of other things you can do currently (with lots more coming in future to IFTTT) so we suggest you check out the channels on the IFTTT website.
