I love my Fitbit. And I especially love that it speaks to IFTTT. With the Fitbit on so many wrists and IFTTT constantly expanding, the possibilities really are endless.
I'd like to suggest a couple of IFTTT Triggers and Actions that can take things to the next level though.
Parity.
First, Fitbit should achieve parity with it's competitors on IFTTT. The other guys have several other useful triggers/actions that could benefit Fitbit users in similiar ways.
Vibrate action.
It'd be great to set complex alarms via IFTTT. Even greater would be to get a buzz on your wrist when your boss emails you. Or when your favorite celebrity tweets. The Fitbit's ability to vibrate is under-used!
Message action.
Combine this with the vibrate action or let it stand on its on. Would love the ability to set custom messages to show up on the Fitbit screen. Let me know when my wife gets home. Give me a quick excerpt from the email from my best friend. The WeMo detected movement in the basement.
Triple tap trigger.
Don't know if it's possible but Triple tap your Fitbit to trigger countless actions on IFTTT. Triple tap to find your phone. Triple tap to turn on/off the lights. Triple tap to get the current temperature (using the message action from above!) Maybe have an IFTTT menu item on the fitbit and allow additional tapping from there.
Cheer/Taunt action.
Self-explantory.
Love my Fitbit, but I have room to love it more. Hook it up!
