Here's what I'm picturing: you get an alert and you want to send a notification in a way that gets noticed.
You can integrate with ServiceNow, send something through OpsGenie, post to a Slack channel, or (shudder) send an email. But what if you wanted to be notified AND have a snack?
Send that alert to your IoT-enabled toaster. Now you can get an alert right on your toast.
