Google router gets IFTTT support

[Rooftop]

I can't imagine many here wanting to use a google router,  but this is still pretty cool

The NSA is in all my routers anyway... having IFTTT on a router would be great. But I'll sit with the ones I have.

Warning, OT, but since nobody else is commenting here... I have never figured out IFTTT's business model. Last I looked, they didn't have paid plans. Do people like Google pay them to integrate their routers?

Me either.  I try to never use a free service unless someone else is paying the bill.

That's actually why I use Zapier. I can at least see where they generate income and that makes me think they will stick around.

It's like Mr Weasley's warning in Harry Potter: "Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain"
