<![CDATA[Future of FLIC with new IFTTT plan]]>With IFTTT changing the 'Free Forever' plan to limit you to 3 recipes, that is detrimental to my home automation setup, and effectively wipes out my ability to use the FLIC buttons that have a very high WAF as they interact with the smartthings via a IFTTT recipe.

Anybody have thoughts on IFTTT replacement, especially one that works with smartthings and/or hubitat?

Is FLIC working on anything to fill the vapid void that IFTTT is creating by such a drastic change... Going from ~50 recipies to 3 is tough, but I pride myself on my use of devices / services that have the cost of perpetual use built into the cost of the device. Sure, more up front, but no monthly charges, I just can't see paying $50-150 per year for a service I have had for free, and with the understanding of 'free forever'.

I've always had mine set up this way, where the flic buttons all do "internet" requests along the lines of "http://192.168.0.18:1880/flick/4/click". Node Red then has an http-in node that picks this up and does something with it. In my case, it controls things in Home Assistant, but Node Red has add-ons for Smartthings and can control devices directly too.

After reading the news of IFTTT I decided I didn't want to pay NetFlix kind of prices for a few lines of cloud based code. So I completely redid everything on Home Assistant.

Before I had IFTTT fully integrated with tuya, sonoff and flic among others and with the announcement of the paid service I completely shifted my platform to become more self reliant. And the good thing is, that I didn't have to hack a single device.

I thought at first to have 3 IFTTT applets over multiple email addresses to solve my 60+ applet problem, but managed to integrate them all on Home Assistant. The use of http requests with Flic, helped me a lot to become completely IFTTT independent.

Soon I will terminate my IFTTT account completely.

I've decided to go with IFTTT Pro. Paying 2$ per month, is IMO fair for IFTTT, specially with the multiple action support on Pro.
