This is kind of my pet project for the summer. I've already got the lights in my children's rooms done. I've got dawn/dusk sensing to turn off my outdoor audio system. I've got a temperature controlled attic-exhaust fan (my attic gets over 150F / 65C without it). I played with IFTTT a bit last year, but kind of forgot about it since I don't need it. But thinking about it again, I really do need it or something like it because the other residents of my house aren't programmers, but they might like to automate some action. I mostly use PachubeCosmXively for remote control of actions, but I don't think IFTTT has any integration with them. PachubeCosmXively can send emails based on trigger thresholds so it shouldn't be too hard to get something working. A great complement to IFTTT would be direct integration to an rPi or other open-ish platform cum home automation server.
