I think it would be super cool if we could get a PBI IFTTT.com plugin that enables you to use the IOT to push data into PowerBI. IFTTT let's you set up some simple if this thing happens than do this other thing type rules. For PBI I see this working like this existing IFTTT recipe: https://ifttt.com/recipes/158601-today-s-weather where you set it up to push info into PBI daily. For example you can say, every day take the information from Weather plugin and push the information into my PBI dashboard. This could also be an awesome way to push workout data, I can envision a workout app having IFTTT plugin, so you could say push my fitbit stats into PBI. In this way I could build a self updating dashboard with all of my workout information and weather reports so I could plan my day's workout. Possibilities are pretty endless once we hook into IOT.

RE: IFTTT -> PBI

This is a great idea and I'd love to see someone build this. We have a REST API in Power BI that will support streaming in of data. Building an IFTTT plugin should be pretty easy. And if it isn't we need to fix our API : )
