    • enable the plugin from the "PLUG-INS > Manage" page
    • delete updater_override.txt from your HS3 application folder

    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.

      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!

        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.

          I do agree that the use of dropbox is clever. Looking forward to more examples--I like your first example.

              ok, let's restart from scratch.
              - stop the plugin
              - delete IFTTT.ini from your config folder
              - in your dropbox account, click on your nickname in the top right corner, then click settings, go to the security tab, and in the Apps Linked section at the bottom check if you see HSPI_IFTTT, if you have it delete it
              - restart the plugin
              - make sure you don't have any popup blocker active, then go to the config page and click on "Dropbox Authorize" button.

              You should see the Dropbox authorization page somewhere.

                also, I think you need to be logged in to your Dropbox account before clicking on the "Dropbox Authorize" button, otherwise the session can expire before you get to the authorization screen.

                    I tried to install, unfortunately it crashes as soon as I try to config much like the UPB plugin did. It is only your plugins that crash on my system (which is windows server 2012). Perhaps you could make the same changes to this one that you made to the UPB plugin? I really want to test--looks like a neat plugin.

                        the main purpose of this plugin is to allow HS to trigger IFTTT recipes, and to allow HS events to be triggered by IFTTT recipes.

                        take a look at the IFTTT website there is a lot of examples of what you can do with it https://ifttt.com
                        the plugin adds the possibility to use that with HS.

                        also, take a look at the user guide, I have created some examples: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=166058

                              yeah that's pretty cool
                              I don't think there is an android app yet.
