GE Appliances has been working with IFTTT since June of 2015,
adding functionality for users to get more out of their GE
Appliances products. The new channels add in functionality for the
GE Appliances washer, dryer and dishwasher units, enabling users to
connect their appliances to more than 100 other applications and
connected devices, such as Facebook, Twitter, smart lighting, and
various other smart home products.
For example, the functionality could have smart lights blink
when the washer has 10 minutes left on the timer, or any time the
wall oven is on a smart thermostat can tell the HVAC fan to turn
on.
“Having the full suite available on IFTTT allows consumers to
stay on top of their home appliances in new ways that are created
just for them and their lifestyle,” said Brett Luckabaugh,
connected appliances scrum master at GE Appliances. “With six GE
Appliances channels on IFTTT there are endless possibilities for
consumers to create new recipes, giving them more control over
their smart home.”
Today, GE Appliances has over 400 connected users across its
multiple IFTTT channels, resulting in more than 3,000 “recipes”
(commands) running each week.
One of the most interesting features of IFTTT is that users can
use GE Appliances’ featured “recipes,” or create their own,
allowing for the connected appliances to integrate with other
Internet of Things-enabled products. IFTTT opens the door to the
possibilities of how users operate their GE Appliances products as
well as their everyday lives.
“It’s exciting to see GE Appliances bring their vision of a
richer, more connected home to life with IFTTT,” said Anne
Mercogliano, VP of marketing for IFTTT. “Having their entire suite
of smart appliances on the platform creates new connections for the
hundreds of existing apps and devices on IFTTT that gives the power
to users to tailor their world to what is important to them."
