Mainly as a way to trigger automations and also to issue notifications from HA.  Many channels in ifttt suffer from up to 15 minute delays but the maker channel is almost instant.  It would be nice to be able to use NEST channel to detect Away status and trigger an HA automation. \r\n\r\nHere is some background on Ifttt Maker Channel (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ifttt-connect-anything-maker-channel/)\r\n\r\nI also found some Python, ifttt libraries. \r\nhttps://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyfttt\r\n\r\nA type of framework like this would allow someone technical with little coding ability (me!) to extend the uses of HA a bit more. \r\n\r\n\r\n"}}
