Hi,
I know we can turn on lights using Sighthound IFTTT, however, are we able to turn off lights if no motion for 5 minutes?
My use case is that I have external lights controlled by a Belkin WeMo switch. I have them turn off with Sighthound but have to turn them back off when I get inside. Often (1/2 the time) the lights are on in the morning because a cat or something similar has triggered it and I don't want to annoy the neighbours by beaming lights into their windows.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Re: IFTTT - Belkin WeMo Light Switch after 5 Minutes
Hi spoonalious,
I'd recommend contacting Belkin as this would be something they may be able to address. Sighthound Video is only able to send triggers to IFTTT when a rule is triggered, which is then passed along to your Belkin WeMo switch.
I looked at some WeMo recipes and found one that flashes the light when triggered: https://ifttt.com/channels/wemo_switch/ ... n-then-off . This obviously isn't ideal for your case but it may be possible to have it stay on for a longer duration.
