Overview

IFTTT (an abbreviation of "If This Then That") is a free web-based service that allows users to create chains of simple conditional statements, called "recipes", which are triggered based on changes to other web services and products.

IFTTT integration into ELAN allows ELAN to control any of the products or services integrated into IFTTT and have those products also control ELAN.

This expands the integration of ELAN to support numerous functions that it natively does not do.  We have listed a few examples of what integration can bring to ELAN below and have also stepped through programming some of the ones we feel are useful to a lot of people. Note that this is a small list of things we liked.  There are a lot of other things you can do currently (with lots more coming in future to IFTTT) so we suggest you check out the channels on the IFTTT website.

We are keen to hear about what cool things you have done with the driver.  Let us know via twitter, email or forum post.

How does it work?
ELAN will send IFTTT triggers to IFTTT based on programming done by the ELAN dealer. IFTTT will send commands back to ELAN via a 3rd party service called pushover. When ELAN receives these commands the dealer needs to program ELAN actions to correspond to the command sent.  Please read the installation PDF for specific details.

Do you offer showroom discounts?
We offer dealers a free showroom licence for demonstration and educational purposes.  See link below for T&C's and signup procedure.
