I see there's an IFTT integration thread, but considering my investigation into micro-controllers led me to this question, I think it should be here. Anyways, what's IFTT vs JSON vs MQTT vs REST? I don't have any interaction with anything yet other than Blue-Iris uses JSON which is a (WebRequest?). It looks like this: Now I see it leads off with http so now the WebRequest makes sense.
The MQTT with the servers and Brokers seem to me something I would want to stay away from, but, I'm totally not sure. I ran into this MQTT vs REST post, and to me REST wins the day.

Does/can HS support REST? If I get into ESP32's and Adafruit Arduino boards I don't have to do MQTT do I? MQTT can comms just from the ESP/Arduino to HS and not use some Hosted Webserver right?
Finally, what's IFTT? Can someone post some example code from whatever protocol youre using like the JSON Request I posted above?
I guess all these ESP/Arduino boards have these libraries and they basically can speak whichever protocol you install right?
