Blynk + IFTTT - details Guide how to connect both

IFTTT is nifty and useful but it’s also pain in the as* because of lag.

I dont find any lag bro im using it for my house

It’s up to server load,you can face with it in a rush hours.

oh i am using alll my home appliance is connected via ifttt through do button

Okay,I have it (kind of) working with Do Button, but it does not work with IFTTT (I use IP). What I mean with working is that if I put 1 in Pin D4 it opens my gate. The problem I have is that I need a push button and not a switch (so it does not work before I put D4 on 0 again). Anyone any ideas ?

2 buttons? )

realy ?

I am having a little bit of a trouble setting up this ifttt to blynk connection. I am on a local server due to my organization networks port blocking (i guess, since I cant communicate with blynk server).
So, is it possible to set up ifttt with a local server?
Thanks!

same issue i have i can’t use local server because my ISP is blocking any inbound traffic on all ports.
so you have to solutions

  • use blynk cloud :slight_smile:
  • or use any tunneling solutions but most of those are paid and will add more latency to requests.

Just to clarify, do you mean using blynk-cloud.cc? The problem is that my ISP doesnt allow connections from blynk server. Or do you mean running my own blynk server in the cloud (like amazon server)?
Thanks!

i mean if you ISP is blocking inbound connections you can’t access your Local server from outside.

Hi @Dmitriy and Community:

Using IFTTT to make a web PUT request to an Arduino UNO for a Button.
When i just push the button on my phone, it stops as expected when I let go. Perfect!
With the Web request, the button stays On for random amounts of time, often forever.

In IFTTT:
Request Code http://blynk-cloud.com:8080/AUTHCODE/pin/D9
JSON body is [“1”]

I’ve seen the Debounce threads but can’t find any answer for this.
Hope you have a hack to to fix this!

Thanks in advance, Alex

@alexplus100 this is how IFTTT works. It has big delay. I my case this is usually 10-15 minutes.

Thanks so much @Dmitriy !
@Lichtsignaal suggested I use a VPin instead?
What you think? Will also see if we can get IFTTT to betterfy!

@alexplus100 there is one workaround. You can connect directly to service you need with HTTP API or WebHooks without IFTTT. However it depends on service you need.

Understood. This is for Twitter though and I broke my brain trying to do SSL for their APIs. Even tried TI LaunchPad, which can do crypto - but their forked Arduino IDE made my brain explode.

I can’t get my ifttt to work. I have tried the URL with the “blynk cloud” and using the IP address is confusing? what is the IP address to enter into the URL?
