Lighten the load on the planet

Saving energy at home has never been easier. Pair smart devices with the power and flexibility of automation to optimize their usage. From setting your smart lights to turn off when not in use to using smart plugs that prevent appliances from wasting energy, along with automating other household devices, small changes can lead to significant energy savings over time. IFTTT's Location service can ensure your lights and devices are powered down when you leave the area (and our Group Location service makes it possible to do that with a busy household).

Services like Agile Octopus and True Energy Norway are examples of services that help users monitor times when energy costs are lower and it is more cost-effective to run large appliances. Your own utilities company may publish off-peak hours on their website that you can use to cater the times to use your dishwasher, charge your electric vehicle, or run a laundry machine. Using energy in off-peak periods is most cost effective, reduces the overall strain on the electric grid in your area, and can promote the integration of more sustainable energy sources when peak-time energy is reduced. Setting up notifications or plugs to match these hours can be meaningful for your wallet and the planet.

Every drop counts

Prevent water waste with automation that detects leaks early and optimizes water usage. From adjusting irrigation based on the weather to receiving alerts about potential leaks, small changes can help conserve this precious resource.

For homes without smart irrigation systems, weather updates linked to your calendar can be an easy way to make sure you don't water your garden or lawn following a period of rain.

Trash talk (the good kind)

Set up reminders for recycling and compost pickups. This can be an small and simple way to reduce your overall contribution to landfills.

Wheel good choices

Log your bike rides and walks automatically with Strava or Android Activity and earn rewards for choosing greener ways to commute. Track your progress and stay motivated to reduce your carbon footprint with every step and pedal.

Log it, love it, save it

Track your carbon footprint, log eco-friendly habits, and monitor energy use with automation. Stay informed and motivated by keeping tabs on your green progress.

Get your Vitamin D
