How this automation works
Trigger your HomeKit scene automatically from a Telegram group message with a specific key phrase. This Applet runs when someone sends '/ifttt' followed by your chosen keyword in the connected Telegram group, and then executes your selected HomeKit scene using Pushcut. Great for creating smart home moods or automations from chat commands — ideal for shared household or team use. Customize the message to fit your tone.
