Blynk + IFTTT - details Guide how to connect both

@VitaliyRomanov try it first using Postman chrome plugin after that implement it in IFTTT.

it’s working using Postman i just change your V0 pin status to [“0”]
recheck the IFTTT settings.
note that i never test it using iphone , if that makes difference.

i also tested one of my projects and working fine with IFTTT , below is the screenshoot

great write up! This works the same way on iPhone. I like the DO buttons. They have an Apple Watch app too. When I come home, I just hit the DO button on my watch to turn the lights on :slight_smile:

thanks , glade that you like it.
i have done a great project for an ESP8266 PCB that has 3 relays and a LED RGB strip all that can be controlled using the lovely BLYNK app.
soon i will write up a post when i have the time… stay tuned.

What’s your thought about pressing a momentary button? You can set a button to be a “push” button instead of a “switch” which is the difference between a “momentary” button and a “toggle” button.

I noticed that when I use the API to send a value to a “push” button, the button still retains the high value.

Is there a way to make an API call that would send a momentary value to a push button? Or do we have to make two calls - one 1 and one 0? IFTTT is not tooled to do that, so I was hoping the API might.

in that case , nether Blynk API or IFTTT can handle that right now.
but i think Blynk can change the API which in case you have set the PIN type to Push button that will not retain the status 1.

or you can have Tasker doing that by sending two requests " 1 > 500 ms delay > 0"

Yep, I took IFTTT out of the loop right now and am just using Tasker to send REST API calls.

We will release soon Webhook widget, so using tasker also may be unnecessary.

That’s exciting, can’t wait to test it out!

It took me a while realize the url is not working anymore. Can somebody update the post to avoid confusion?
My configuration worked like this:
url http://blynk-cloud.om/token/pin/d0

@macf81 you need to use IP for IFTTT instead of host (until we fix issue) http://docs.blynk.cc/#troubleshooting-geo-dns-problem

sorry i don’t know why the edit option is not working for me it shows me only last two edits and not allow me to change it?!

Hi, i have problem with PUT method. I tested it here> http://docs.blynkapi.apiary.io/#reference/0/write-pin-value-via-put/write-pin-value-via-put?console=1 Result is Invalid token.

When i make in browser GET method http://blynk-cloud.com/xxxxxx449928997129095ae4079/update/V50?value=0
it is OK. and i can change value on V50 pin. But this is not working with DO butoon from IFTTT.

and this format http://blynk-cloud.com/xxxxxxx42c5449928997129095ae4079/update/V50 - Wrong request format.

SOLVED>
I use this in DO and everithing is OK now >

For india, ip is 188.166.177.186
In URL for ifttt.
Instead of blynk-cloud.com
Use Ip address.
I am wondering that you haven’t faced geo Dns issue.
