IFTTT and Domoticz

[whatisk]

Hi all,

I am hoping it's possible to setup Domoticz so that when a switch is triggered (for example) it will also run an IFTTT applet. Essentially what I am hoping to do is control a Sonoff wifi switch this way rather than trying to flash alternative firmware via an Adruino. I did find some Github projects that avoid needing to do this, but don't work if the firmware is above a certain version. I thought controlling via IFTTT could be an easier solution.

I have found the wiki page on IFTTT integration with Domoticz, however I can't find the option in Domoticz to add the API key.
The wiki advises to add the API key in Domoticz under Settings->Notifications->IFTTT. However this doesn't appear to exist in the Beta version I am running (couple of versions behind latest). I did find a thread with the same question as above, and they said they ended up using "Custom HTTP/Action".

Is what I am wanting to do possible? And if so is there a guide or is someone able to assist with the how?

Cheers.

Do you have any specific reason to stay on your current domoticz version ?

Not at all. I'm currently running v3.8890. I believe latest beta is v3.9052 and am happy to upgrade to that if it will help achieve what I am after.
However the wiki entry was last modified Nov 1 2017, so the version I am running is more recent (Feb 7 2018) than the article.

Hi, I think I made happen what you need. With a couple seconds of lag, but that's fine for a most cases.

First, use the EWeLink app to add the Sonoff to your wifi-network so that you will be able to turn the light (or whatever you have connected to it ) on/off from the app.

Then in IFTTT you have to connect 2 integrations: Webhooks(https://ifttt.com/maker_webhooks) and EWeLink(https://ifttt.com/ewelink)
if you go to your webhooks connection and click on Documentation you see a https-url with your secret key. It looks like this:

Code: Select all

https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/{event}/with/key/dhnasdfasdIOtMfFbV_Khd9dKsdfaMiz5_

Then I created two Applets:

• For the IFT I used the Webhooks integration and added the eventname to 'lamp_on' (this is your {event}-name). For the TT I chose the EWeLink connection ('Turn 1 channel switch on or off') and selected my lamp and told it to set it to 'On'. Create action.
  So now you have a url that looks like this:

  Code: Select all

  https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/lamp_on/with/key/dhnasdfasdIOtMfFbV_Khd9dKsdfaMiz5_

• I created a second Applet with the only difference I called it 'lamp_off' and set it to 'Off'. Which results in the following url

  Code: Select all

  https://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/lamp_off/with/key/dhnasdfasdIOtMfFbV_Khd9dKsdfaMiz5_

Back to Domoticz:
Create a Dummy Switch (type: On/Off). Go to 'Edit' on the Dummy Switch and paste the 2 urls in the On and Off sections. I assume you know which to put where .

When switching the Dummy you set it to either On of Off and it will trigger the related url, triggering IFTTT which triggers the EWeLink app and within 3 seconds your lamp switches on/off.

Thank you for the detailed reply.
I did manage to get a test running successfully with IFTTT and Domoticz. Still waiting on some stuff to arrive before I do it for real.

Hi Guys,

I know this thread is a few months old, but it was the first result on Google when I was looking for a solution to this problem.
I wanted a way to have all of my devices available via my Google Home's, but without having to create a million IFTTT applets to do it.

I made a script that makes it quick and easy, which I've published in GitHub here:
https://github.com/dswinton/domo-ifttt

Hopefully this will help someone else looking for a solution to this problem.

Can you tell us how to make this work?
The php is correctly done its job, but then?

I use controlicz
In the google home you can add the controlicz service
Controlicz connects to your Domoticz and performs the action for you.
