This week we are diving deeper into the realm of Webhooks. Because they have the power to expand the reach of your smart home.
With a webhook you can not only trigger an automation, but you can pass data to your #homeassistant powered #smarthome. Meaning if a service or a device can call a webhook you can integrate it into Home Assistant. Think of Webhooks as a Universal Translator for Smart Home Services.
In this video we are going to walk through using iOS Shortcuts, and If this Than That (IFTTT), and we will touch on Zapier. And by the end of the video you will be able to harness the power of this simple built-in integration.
