@Ray the functionality that I am looking for is a trigger, or the “This” aspect of IFTTT. Port forwarding would result in an action – the “That” functionality of IFTTT. I don’t want to control OpenSprinkler with IFTTT, I want to use OpenSprinkler to control a WeMo switch. IF<Station10 = Start>THEN<WeMo = On>, and IF<Station10 = Stop>THEN<WeMo = Off>
I’m keen on the ability to send a web request to IFTTT such that it can be used as a trigger.
i.e. I want a station start/stop to send a web hook to IFTTT to be used as a trigger to control a WeMo switch. Tried using the HTTP station and putting in an IFTTT URL but it didn’t work.
I’ve played with the current IFTTT integrations but they are geared primarily at notifications. Unfortunately the Value1 that is sent is a string of text rather than just a value like StationName. I could probably modify the firmware so that it just sends StationName which might get me the functionality I need, however doing this as a station type of IFTTT (or a modified HTTP station to support IFTTT webhook) would be much cleaner… beyond my coding skills though.
