Hello Folks
I am just setting up my system, I had a few false starts. I am trying to get Link Shades (https://www.linkshades.com/) to work with Homeseer. I have a virtual button in Homeseer (ON/OFF) and I want to use that to control the shades. To do this I am using IFTTT. The Applet is basic, "IF a device is turn OFF, Open the shades." When I check the applet, nothing happens, I tried checking the applet with the Virtual button ON and OFF.
I get a message "This Applet usually runs within a few hours" ; that's not automation!
I do have a MS.homeseer account set up as well, not sure how that fits into the equation.
Any suggestion on what I am doing wrong.
How does Homesser know to send a message to the IFTTT server when the virtual button is pressed?
How can I test the two communication channels. One between Homeseer and IFTTT, then the second between IFTTT and Link Shade.
Thanks
Rob
