If we allowed the IFTTT integration to be set up as a set of child devices, Hubitat could potentially connect to multiple IFTTT accounts, thereby circumventing its 3 applet restriction per free account.
Too sneaky?
I like it - a LOT!
I guess the fear is that IFTTT will try and find a way to stop it, and thereby a game of Cat & Mouse would ensue. That said I am equally aggrieved that Linden Tibbets felt the need to implement the charging model that he has!
Yeah. Actually I subcribed for a month or two but have now cancelled because the performance continued to be rubbish and despite their nice emails saying they will improve support and get back to you on issues, they absolutely never do. So I'm done with them. In principle, I'm very ok with being charged for something that works, adds value, took an effort to create and to maintain. But it needs to work and customer support is a basic hygiene factor.
Anyway, this situation now. leaves me with the issue of no support for (1) my Arlo cameras and (2) Telegram which I've been using as a very effective gateway for my Withings sleep pads since the direct Hubitat interface constantly fails with a timeout due to the Great Silk Curtain that is the Thailand internet.
I still don't understand why it is that Hubitat cannot provide these simple basic common integrations, even if we had to pay for them (after all I'd rather give Hubitat 2 bucks a month for a suite of common integrations rather than give that money each month to FTTT).

Shooooosh. Don't tell anyone. But you can link multiple IFTTT accounts to the same Hubitat account. Works fine. And Gmail email accounts are free. Yippee!
How!?
Just need multiple email accounts for the IFTTT side...
Yep.
IFTTT is garbage. Even with a paid account the lag was excruciating.
