IoT and IFTTT

What is IFTTT?

IFTTT stands for "if this then that" and is a cloud service that interlinks more than 600 different devices and services. The Gira servers, Gira X1 (from version 2.4) and Gira HomeServer (from version 4.10) now come with an IFTTT connection. Using simple if-then functions, several apps can be interlinked at once – even apps made by different manufacturers. If you would like to define a new IFTTT function, you only need to open the associated IFTTT App and interlink any two commands.

Important: In order to use IFTTT with your Gira Smart Home, you always need a remote access module (e.g. the Gira S1) as well as one of the two servers.

One interface – countless possibilities

Thanks to the almost unlimited array of connection possibilities between Gira products with IFTTT connection and smart products from other manufacturers, you can extend your Gira Smart Home and that of your customers at any time.

Requirements:

You will need the following to use the IFTTT service:

An account with IFTTT
Access to the Gira device portal
A fully configured remote access module (Gira S1)
A configured Gira server (Gira X1 or Gira HomeServer)

We recommend creating a separate user (Gira X1) or profile (Gira HomeServer) for the IFTTT function. In the Gira HomeServer, the option "Make available for IoT services" must be activated in the profile to be used for IFTTT.

IFTTT triggers from Gira

Triggers represent the "this" in the conditional statement "if this, then that". In this case, a specific action is triggered when a function from the device is used.
The following triggers are currently available:

Switched on (something has been switched on)
Switched off (something has been switched off)
Value rises above (a certain value has been exceeded)
Value falls below (a certain value has not been reached)
Scene started (scene has been started)

IFTTT actions from Gira

Actions represent the "That" in "If This Then That". In this case, a function is triggered when a trigger specified by the user becomes active.
The following actions are currently available:

Switch on (something is switched on)
Switch off (something is switched off)
Set brightness level (dim light to an absolute percentage value)
Run scene (play scene)
Set heating mode
Set shutter/blind position (set blind to an absolute percentage value)
Set RGB colour
