Yeah in the time since this thread was opened, we’ve discovered a bunch of things that would be awesome with IFTTT and Zapier. I’m prioritizing Zapier, because it has some more “pro” use cases, and also IFTTT would charge us per device just to integrate 
For insight, the main hold-up on this is that we have to build an authentication system for you to be able to connect from an external service, like Zapier, to Tidbyt and login and authorize that external service. Same thing is necessary for integration with Alexa or Google Home.
Building this securely is turning out be a lot of effort and not something that either @matslina or I are able to just hack together in a couple weeks.
Anyway, all this is to say, definitely aware of the need for this and we are prioritizing it. But there is still a ton of work to be done.
