The gratuitous negativity of this article is entirely uncalled for.<p>I would <i>much</i> rather that a device integrate with IFTTT and thus gain connectivity with the hundreds of services which IFTTT supports than for it to attempt to hand-roll integrations with a much smaller subset of services.<p>In case anyone disputes my claim of gratuitous negativity:<p>&gt; Some smart home features finally come to OnHub, but using a non-Google ecosystem.<p>&gt; Its only real differentiators were the funky design, easy setup, and the promise of future updates.<p>&gt; Now with the IFTTT update, the OnHub finally supports some smart home features—but it&#x27;s using someone else&#x27;s ecosystem.<p>&gt; IFTTT is now the gateway for controlling other things in your house via the OnHub rather than using some kind of Google communication standard like we expected.<p>&gt; This is all still happening over Wi-Fi, too, so the OnHub is still not using any of the smart-home antennas it shipped with.
