IFTTT Plug-in - Beta Testing

[spud]

travisdh is right, this plugin rely heavily on dropbox to communicate with IFTTT but it isn 't a dropbox plugin, its main goal is to allow HS to trigger IFTTT recipes, and to allow HS events to be triggered by IFTTT recipes.

I don't plan to apply for a IFTTT channel as it would require a HS cloud service somewhere and it wouldn't provide much more features than what you can do right now with this current plugin.

I'm going to add more advanced examples of what you can do in the User Guide thread.

It looks from what I have seen that the IFTTT plugin is a dropbox plugin in that it needs a cloud service (IFTTT) as an intermediate.

This is why dropbox is used as it provides the medium for the IFTTT service to act on / against to handle actions or triggers.

I am not sure if a homeseer IFTTT channel is proposed, but I doubt that it is really needed due to the clever use of dropbox!

I like that you produce some of the most forward looking plugins. This plugin strikes me as a dropbox plugin, rather than an IFTTT plugin though. Am I missing some special IFTTT sauce in the description? Or do you plan on getting a homeseer channel added to IFTTT?

Either way I like it. When IFTTT was proposed a while back as a viable target for plugin dev it looked like it was going to become the main cloud Internet of things (IOT) service because they just added WeMo and Hue. Since then it really hasn't progressed much as an IOT service, and really looks a lot more like a way of connecting social to storage to reading--which is still cool, but less cool than a few magnitudes than a true IOT service.

There is a rapidly maturing IOT app though, and it is not cloud based. I think it makes a really good target for HS plugin dev--and they have released an API for connecting to the app.
