Hey everyone,
I currently have two AC powerheads on smart plugs that I’d like to alternate on/off from each other at certain time intervals to simulate a better oceanic current than just being constantly running.
Has anyone written any IFTTT scripts that would enable this? I’m using Kasa plugs. Thanks!

You might want to skip IFTTT and just use the Kasa or Google Home app to set up timers/automation scenes. Using IFTTT will just create an extra step and point of failure.

I’d like to go straight to Kasa but doesn’t seem like they have an “interval” setting but instead they do a “at this time”

Yeah ... it will be tedious to create a schedule, but without something like an Apex or Hydros, doing interval programming probably isn't feasible on something like IFTTT.
