This I/O Server implements two-way communication with the Webhooks service of IFTTT, allowing HSYCO to trigger applets in IFTTT and, the other way around, to receive notifications and data from applets.
Contents
IFTTT setup
The IFTTT I/O Server connects to IFTTT via its Webhooks service. It requires a fully functional Internet connection.
In order to setup an IFTTT applet that triggers an event and send data to HSYCO, connect the Webhook service to the "that" side of the applet.
The URL you specify must have the same server address and port number you use to access the HSYCO Web interface, followed by the /ifttt path and the password defined in the IFTTT I/O Server configuration, for example: https://example.hsyco.net:/ifttt/oieojdjeiw48394ejdejdd.
Note that this password must be kept secret and should be long and difficult to guess, as it could otherwise be used to easily trigger events in HSYCO.
The "Method" field should be set to POST, the "Content Type" field is not required, and add a static or dynamic text, for example the "TextField" ingredient of a trigger, to the "Body" field.
The IFTTT I/O Server can also be used to send trigger events to IFTTT's applets. The I/O Server will send a web request that will be received by a Webhook trigger. This request contains a text value and can optionally have an event name. If the event name is not set using the appropriate IO command's syntax, the event name passed to Webhooks is "hsyco".
On the IFTTT Webhooks page, click "Documentation" to retrieve the key and set the eventkey option of the I/O Server.
Define a new applet using the Webhook as the "this" trigger, enter the event name you want to use to identify this specific trigger, then add the "that" side of the trigger using the applet you need to trigger from HSYCO.
HSYCO Configuration
Add a IFTTT I/O Server in the I/O Servers section of the Settings and set the password.
High Availability
- Shutdown when inactive: defaults to false.
Options

|---|---|---|---|

|---|---|---|---|

| request.<query> | <body text> | R | the text sent by the IFTTT Webhooks service web request. Query is the optional query string in the URL as set in the Webhooks service. This is a forced event, triggered on every request |
| event | <value1> | W | trigger an IFTTT Webhooks event with event name "hsyco", passing the value as value1 |
| event.<name> | <value1> | W | trigger an IFTTT Webhooks event with the specified event name "hsyco", passing the value as value1 |
Examples
Receiving a web request from IFTTT
Assuming that the IFTTT's I/O Server id is "ifttt", these events will write the incoming request to the log file:
io ifttt.request : log = io ifttt.request io ifttt.request.myquery : log = io ifttt.request
Generating a trigger event in IFTTT
This EVENTS line will trigger a Webhooks event named "hsyco" every minute, passing the time as the value1 field of the Webhooks trigger:
time : io ifttt.event = $time$
