openHAB and IFTTT


#1

anybody tried openHAB and IFTTT.??
for me items are not visible in IFTTT


#2

I will be making a video on this in the future but, I believe myopenhab has to be setup and authenticated. Maybe someone else knows a better answer.

I did it, in openhab paper ui—>coonfiguration-----> services—> openhab cloud ------> i check items to visible in IFTTT. its working but the items showm in IFTTT after a day…

What you need to do is once you have set it up manually trigger the item you want to be used by ifttt (E.g. open and close the door so the item changes state) it then will show up on the myopenhab website/portal (if you have already selected it to be displayed on myopenhab in the paper ui). Once it’s up it will be seen by ifttt.

I find ifttt handy for logging events into spreadsheets (e.g. arriving and leaving work) and for being the meat inbetween Google assistant and openhab. I only wish you could put a rule that had 2 outcomes (on/off) at the same time instead of making an on rule and an off rule. Let us know how you go!
