Oh boy, you'd be pissed to learn that IFTTT crippled their free tier, especially of you bought many IoT devices with the "Works with IFTTT" label on it.

One thing to always keep in mind when you buy a device is to never buy it because of a specific service, but for its standalone capabilities.

Even better - if you can, but it got standalone capabilities and for open standards. "Supports webhooks" will stand, even if "supports ifttt" goes away.
