Withings, the leader in the connected health revolution, has taken security, privacy and home health to the next level through a partnership with IFTTT, a service that allows rule-based actions and triggers between a range of devices and services.

Make Home Automation a Reality
With IFTTT, it’s easy to create simple connections between Withings Home and any other compatible devices or apps. Users can easily create “Recipes” to automate their home using a wide range of triggers such as motion alert, noise detection, or air quality level.
The Withings Home IFTTT page includes examples of Recipes (ifttt.com/withingshome):
- Reinforce privacy: Turn off Withings Home automatically when I’m home, turn it back on when I’m away using geolocation from my phone.
- Make security seamless: When I lock my door with my SmartThings door lock, my Withings Home will turn on. When there is a motion or noise alert, my Philips Hue lights will blink.
- Improve home health: When bad air quality is detected, it will turn on my WeMo air purifier automatically or change the color of my Philips Hue light to red.
“There has been tremendous growth in the home automation sector, and Withings saw an opportunity to work with IFTTT to deliver an elegant way to connect families to their homes,” said Cédric Hutchings, CEO of Withings. “Consumers are looking to secure their home environment in today’s unpredictable world, and the new Withings Home automation service gives us the piece of mind that we need to protect our family’s well-being.”
