“If this then that” is a service that connects many of your online accounts to each other. So, if it’s raining out, IFTTT will tell your internet connected home lights to turn on. That’s just one example, of the various things that the service will do. In fact, IFTTT is so vast, that it can prove to be a bit daunting to start using. So, the company has tried to simplify things a bit by offering three new apps – Do Button, Do Camera, and Do Note, which all aim to accomplish a single IFTTT action.

I’ve been waiting for a Wemo widget for a long time, and Do Button now solves this need.
