IFTTT Applet skipped Unable to make web request: Error: ETIMEDOUT

I have problem with a simple ifttt applet to switch light on or off. On the IFTT site I see that : "Applet skipped Unable to make web request: Error: ETIMEDOUT" When I put the url in the webbrowser it is working without problem, so I don't know where is the problem.
My domoticz is on my Synology Nas. Port forwarding and ssl cerification is ok too. In domoticz put the ifttt api and enabled of course. Website protection enabled and that user and password use in the url. Authentication is Basic-auth. I wrote to IFTTT but no answer. What you think what is the problem, I have no more idea?! :(


"create applet on ifttt like this:

a. “This” – Google Assistant channel - “Say a simple phrase”
i. Under “What do you want to say?” – Enter “turn on light”
ii. Under “What do you want the Assistant to say in response?” – Enter “ok”

b. “That” – webhook channel -
i. Under “Title” enter “what you want”
ii. Under "URl" put url from https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Domoticz_API/JSON_URL%27s

ex :https://user:[email protected]:sslport/json.htm?type=command&param=udevice&idx=3&nvalue=1

you find idx on the list of connected devices on domoticz

you must allow acces to your domoticz from the net, ( open port , basics auth )"

Maybe somewhere in my NAS or router what is reject IFTTT, but don't know where. From the browser the url working perfect. Please help.

Did you manage to solve this?
I have the same "Unable to make web request: Error: ETIMEDOUT" error, but the request arrives and is handled good on my side.
