We've got a live Stringify integration in our office (disclosure: we're an investor) with a few cool initial integrations.
We connected a contact sensor through SmartThings to trigger our Sonos to play a Christmas greeting when the door is opened and LiFx bulbs to blink red & green for visitors. We then connected the same contact sensor to turn on an indicator light so those with desks around the corner can see that the front door is propped open.
We're also working to integrate our shades and some other items with an Amazon Echo to make it easy to setup for a presentation. Next up is a smart-lock we're going to try some experiments with. Just a start; but gives you a few ideas of how we're using it in the wild.

@walne sticking with IFTTT. The vast majority of "things" are triggers and not actions and can be done with the product itself. For example, I don't need Stringify to have my NestCam trigger a notification. It does that out of the box. I don't need another app to tap "home" or "away". What I DO need is a trigger for location and an ACTION for Alexa or NestCam. That would be valuable. So far seems like this is just an IFTTT clone that came out 3 years after IFTTT.
