<p>Today we announce the release of Home Assistant v0.7.2 which includes brand new support by
<a href="https://github.com/sfam">@sfam</a> to integrate with <a href="https://ifttt.com">IFTTT</a>. IFTTT stands for If This, Then That and is a
webservice that integrates with almost every possible webservice out there. Adding Home
Assistant to this mix means Home Assistant can connect with all via IFTTT.</p>
<p>It is now possible to disable your irregation system if it is going to be cloudy tomorrow or tweet
if your smoke alarm goes off.</p>

read more button for some example recipes.</p>
