Additionally, Stack is adding new functionality with their existing integration partner, IFTTT. As part of the new IFTTT partner platform, Stack now has a native integration with IFTTT, so users can enable recipes with a simple tap from within the Stack Lighting app. For example, users can now use the Stack Lighting app to trigger their connected blinds to lower when Stack senses that it’s very bright in a room.

“With the help of strategic partners like Amazon and IFTTT, the ability to adjust and optimize light without manual intervention is quickly becoming a reality for households today,” says Neil Joseph, Founder and CEO of Stack. “We’re always trying to find new ways for Stack to integrate and work with other like-minded products and these integrations allow our users to create the types of experiences that have long been the goal of the IoT community.”

Stack’s innovative light bulbs are equipped with embedded sensors that enable the lights to dynamically react to natural light and occupancy.
