homebridge-ifttt

Homebridge plugin for IFTTT Maker Channel

Installation

Follow the instruction in homebridge for the homebridge server installation. The plugin is published through NPM and should be installed "globally" by typing:

npm install -g homebridge-ifttt

Configuration

Remember to configure the plugin in config.json in your home directory inside the .homebridge directory.

Look for a sample config in config.json example.

See IFTTT Maker Channel for an explanation on how to configure an IFTTT recipe with a Maker Channel.

You need to put the IFTTT Maker channel key in the configuration file and define a set of Buttons.

If you specify both "triggerOn" and "triggerOff" values to a button configuration it will generate different triggers for the two different status of the switch.

If you only specify the "trigger" value to a button configuration it will behave like a push button generating the trigger after the selection of the button and automatically returning to the off status.

Every button, once pressed with an Homekit app or via Siri, will generate an IFTTT trigger on the Maker channel.

If you use the optional "stateful" config, the switch will maintain state across shutdown/reboots.
