How to update ISY state variable using IFTTT and ISY portal?

[ahwman]

Hello,

 

I'm looking to update an ISY state variable using IFTTT and the Maker Channel. I've created the IFTTT event in the ISY portal and set the value to "IFTTT value", however I don't know the syntax for creating the web request in the maker channel. I'm simply looking to update the variable to a "0" or "1" based on a geofence.

 

Thanks,

Chuck

Hi Chuck

 

You'll need 2 recipes and 2 ISY portal entries, one each for setting the variable to 1 and 0

• Name the two events: (InGeofence . OutGeofence.... something like that)
• Pick the geofence state variable (Same name in both)
• Set one to 0 and one to 1.. whatever logic works for you

In Maker and the geofence, one recipe for in and one for out

• For each recipe, paste the URL 0 or 1, you want in the URL box for Maker "make a web request"
• Be sure to set the Method to "Post". It won't work otherwise
• You don't need to change the other settings
