This thread made me look more closely at IFTTT. It really is pretty bad lately. With HS3, I will only use it if there is no alternative.

I still use IFTTT extensively, but try not to for anything important. I am moving more and more of that stuff over to Tasker and autoremote. HS gets info to my phone and back a hell of a lot faster than IFTTT.
Zapier is much faster than IFTTT unfortunately most of the "smart devices" aren't supported. Mostly services and software, websites, etc. Zapier is also not free if you use it a lot. I am also starting to look into stringify. So far it's much faster than IFTTT.
Also, Stringify lets you set up flows that are much more involved than IFTTT recipes

I am seeing a big improvement in IFTTT response time. They must have upgraded their system. Now, my recipes that are supposed to trigger at a specific time, are actually triggering within seconds of their designated time trigger. [emoji3].

This is becoming laughable .... Some of my IFTTT applets inform me of entry and exit events detected by HS3 and notified to my phone. Not only are they delayed (varying from a couple of minutes to 30 or 40 minutes), they don't arrive in the correct sequence! I sometimes get notified of an entry well before the related exit is notified.

Sorry, missed your post. Are you talking about the HS heartbeat or the IFTTT one? The HS one is an event that runs once every hour, 5 minutes after the hour and triggers this script:
Code:Sub Main(ByVal Parms As String) Dim MyTime As DateTime = Now Dim MyString As String = "" Dim minute As Integer = MyTime.Minute Dim second As Integer = MyTime.Second If (minute-5)*60+second = 1 Then MyString = "1 second" Else MyString = CStr((minute-5)*60+second) & " seconds" End If hs.WriteLogEx("Check 5:00", MyString, "#0000FF") End Sub
Code:Sub Main(ByVal Parms As String) Dim MyTime As DateTime = Now Dim MyString As String = "" Dim minute As Integer = MyTime.Minute Dim second As Integer = MyTime.Second If (minute)*60+second = 1 Then MyString = "1 second" Else MyString = CStr((minute)*60+second) & " seconds" End If hs.WriteLogEx("IFTTT Heartbeat", MyString, "#0000FF") End Sub
Cheers

I have an RFID tag in my SUV. When it leaves or returns to the garage, it triggers an HS3 event which triggers an IFTTT event to log the departure/arrival to my iOS Calendar. I have been doing this for about 1 month. For the most part, the calendar entries are within 10 minutes or less from the actual actual arrival/departure. This is good enough for my needs. The calendar entries are simply a reminder. This is way easier and less irritating than getting an email.

exellent idea! but nothing more than an idea!
I just tried this
2 Triggers via mail to swich on and off a device.
2 events detect the change and send an email to confirm reception
It works... from time to time after 2 minuyes or three hours!
Even worse: sometimes, if I send various identical triggers but at various hours when they at last arrive, they arrive simulteanously.
ITTT is absolutely to be avoided!
