How this automation works
Bring your lights to life whenever you send an email to IFTTT. This Applet blinks your chosen MagicHue lights when an email is sent to your IFTTT trigger address. Great for instant visual alerts or fun notifications you can see from across the room. Customize the light color, brightness, and blink count to your liking.
