I am using an Android app called AUTOMATE to run some flowcharts to determine when I get close to my house via GPS, weekdays, between 3 and 7PM (after work). At that time, the flowchart uses my Gmail to send an email to trigger@recipe.ifttt.com. This provides the quickest, almost instant trigger of the IFTTT recipe and turns on my A/V receiver to the NET input (Pandora) via my Harmony remote.
Now, when I get home, there is music playing!!
