How to use the IFTTT Sender robot skill
Please note that this plugin only handles the sending of messages to IFTTT. If you plan on receiving messages from IFTTT, take a look at this tutorial: https://synthiam.com/Support/Skills/Misc/IFTTT-Sender?id=15883
As this is my first plugin, it may be a bit rough... feedback and advice welcomed. Thanks to DJ Sures for the great plugin tutorial and sample code.
- First, create an IFTTT account here: https://ifttt.com/
Click on My Applets
Click on New Applet
Click the "If This" clause
Choose Maker Webhooks channel
Choose a trigger- receive a web request
Enter an Event Name- Remember this exact name for use in your EZB script. In my example, I chose office_light_on Click Create trigger
Click Then That
Choose Action Service- in may case, SmartThings.. you could chose anything e.g. WeMo
The rest of the steps are SmartThings specific... Choose Action
I picked Switch On
Finally- Finished with IFTTT side
