Get IFTTT notification when Smappee power exceeds limit
How this automation works
Automatically turn off a Switchur switch when your power usage exceeds a specified threshold. This Applet runs whenever your Smappee detects that power consumption rises above the wattage limit you define, then updates your chosen Switchur switch to Off. Ideal for energy management and automating control of high-consumption devices at home or the office.
