The 'DO Button' by IFTTT is now available for Android Wear gadgets, providing a one-button solution for controlling hundreds of apps at once. The single button can be pre-set so that various apps are controlled in a single click.

For example, a Nest thermostat, smart lock or lighting system can be controlled from the [wrist wearable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chirp-ai). When clicked, the button will signal the smart lock to lock the door, the app-connected lights to go off and the thermostat to lower to a pre-set temperature all at once.

Incredibly handy, the DO button can not only help you with accomplishing tasks but also with remembering all of them at once. Finally, the wearable will also help save money on appliances that can be turned off all at once when leaving the house.
