i am facing a problem to create a webhook request i already read some articles but the problem is we cant fill special numbers or symbols in phrases…
please can anyone help
What EXACTLY is it that you are trying to achieve?
Are you wanting to use Alexa, Google Home or both?
What voice commands do you wish to issue, and what outcome do you want to achieve with these commands?
Pete.
I want to control my dimmer with both , Google assistant or alexa too,
When I say to google/alexa, set dimmer at 25% it goes dim with 25%
When I tell him that my dimmer/ bulb dim at 50%, then let it happens
What have you done/tried so far, and what issues have you encountered?
Are you wanting to use just 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%, or are you wanting any random value between 0 and 100?
Do you have an IFTTT paid account?
Pete.
No sir I have only 3 free applet yes, you are right , just 25/50/100%
I am getting problem to create webhook request, I don’t know how to fill it for
Same like this article
What problem, be specific!
I’d suggest that instead of giving one-line vague answers, you take more time to explain in detail.
Three free applets won’t be sufficient for Alexa and Google Home, unless you manage to capture the percentage as a parameter and pass it to the Blynk API call. I’m not sure if that’s possible, but that’s an IFTTT question rather than a Blynk one.
Pete.
Sorry for my sili mistake , I just wanted to control dimmer with alexa, and I don’t know how to make webhook request or pass it to the blynk API,
So please could you help me,
How to make webhook request,
There are lots of examples on the forum.
I realise that you’ve commented on one of those, about your inability to insert a percentage symbol into the “What do you want to say” field in IFTTT, but there are some good tutorials and discussions if you do some searching and reading.
Pete.
I don’t find my answers, yes you right sir I did comments but I didn’t get any answers of my question if you can please help me how to fill webhook and how to put % symbols in ifttt field. Or any other option instead.
Try leaving-out the percentage symbol for now, simply go for “set dimmer to 75”.
Pete.
Hello Everyone can somebody help me to create the URL OF blynk api for IFTTT Google assistance applet.
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h> // Header file for Wifi Module
#include <BlynkSimpleEsp8266.h> // header file for blynk
#include <RBDdimmer.h> // header file for robodyn dimmer
char auth[] = ""; // blynk auth key
char ssid[] = "Yogendra"; // Wifi Name
char pass[] = "Jamsariya"; // Wifi Password
#define outputPin D2 // PWM pin for dimmer
#define zerocross D5 // for boards with CHANGEBLE input pins
dimmerLamp dimmer(outputPin, zerocross); //initialase port for dimmer for ESP8266, ESP32, Arduino due boards
int outVal = 0; // Intialisation value for dimmer
int dim_val; // dimmer value to dim the appliance
void setup()
{
Serial.begin(9600); // begin serial communication
dimmer.begin(NORMAL_MODE, ON); //dimmer initialisation: name.begin(MODE, STATE)
Blynk.begin(auth, ssid, pass); // begin blynk server
}
void loop()
{
Blynk.run(); // Run blynk server
}
BLYNK_WRITE(V0) { // Set to your virtual pin
outVal = param.asInt(); // Get State of Virtual Button
dim_val = map(outVal, 0, 1023, 0, 100); // mapped the value for dimmer
dimmer.setPower(dim_val); // Set dimmer power
Blynk.virtualWrite(V1, dim_val); //sending to Blynk
}I’ve merged your two topics together as they are about the same subject.
Please don’t keep creating new topics in this way.
Pete.
Your BLYNK_WRITE(V0) callback is expecting to see values in the 0-1023 range.
75% of 1023 is 767, so your API call would end in value=767
Pete.
So, despite what you said earlier, you aren’t wanting to create applets for a small number of fixed brightness values…
instead, you’re wanting to capture the spoken percentage and pass it as a parameter to the API call?
Pete.
