Hello, i am trying to recreate this project, https://www.instructables.com/Hydrator-a-Device-That-Motivates-You-to-Drink-Wate/ , I am using everything equal less the sensor, but whem i get to the creation of the applet i get errors that are gona be presented in the saml 6 seconds video. The code is equal that is presented on the project site except the blynk id, device, auth and wifi.
And i would like help on the creation of the virtual button that is asked for in the project, because its is the old blynk and i don’t know how to select the GP4 PIN on the new one. Any help i would apreciate.!
Are you using the new Blynk (IOT) or the old one (legacy) ?
Why on earth would someone build a project that uses IFTTT as a timer to send a trigger to Blynk once every hour!
Pete.
I AM using the new One, the device is already online on blynk.
I don’t know if that is a problem because i AM new to this but if it is a problem, what can i do to make it using only blynk or ifttt
The syntax for the HTTP(S) API has changed in Bl;ynk IoT.
It’s documented here:
https://docs.blynk.io/en/blynk.cloud/https-api-overview
and you should start by reading the “Troubleshooting” part of that documentation.
You should also switch to using virtual; pins instead of digital pins.

Ok, i already check and i was using the old blynk-cloud.com IP, so i need to change that on the webhook link, in the quedtion of the virtualpin, i creste a datastream using v4 to like simulate the GP4 PIN and the values stays the same like the old One?
How did you configure your IFTTT applet ?
The date and time +webhook, the date and time configured at every hour at 00, the webhook os the blue image on the gif on the creation of the post, and with Pete comentary, i think i AM using the wrong IP because i was pinging the blynk-cloud.com and not blynk.cloud
Post a screenshot
If you’ve read the documentation I linked to then you’ll see that you shouldn’t be using the IP address, you should be using the blynk.cloud url plus the region subdomain prefix
Pete.
Sorry i misses that parte, sĂł in the webhook it bem like https://lon1.blynk.cloud/auth/update/D4 or it has some diference?
You should use GET method instead of PUT, and the url should look like this sample
https://blynk.cloud/external/api/update?token=ffujYGgbf805tgsf&v1=100
there’s no need to use IFTTT, you can use the new blynk automation to create a time based actions.
what are you trying to say is to create an automation time based, i am in that process, but it has one option for one time a day, the objective is to encourage to drink more water, but it can be used to other things thats a fact, it have one option to do it multiple times or i need to stick with only 1 time a day?edit:
Don’t you think that it would be sensible to use the “Wait, then do something” option?
Pete.
