About Apilio
Apilio is a cloud-based logic layer for smart home automations, sitting between services like IFTTT, Tuya, Philips Hue, and Home Assistant. It lets you combine multiple conditions with AND/OR/NOT logic, chain actions across different ecosystems, and run rule-based routines that IFTTT alone can't express.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- Adds true conditional logic that IFTTT, Alexa, and Google routines lack
- Bridges devices across Tuya, Philips Hue, and IFTTT in one flow
- Cheap entry tier - useful Pro plan is just a few dollars a month
- Active community forum for recipe sharing
- Variables enable stateful automations (home/away, sleeping, etc.)
