IFTTT Arlo problems


#1

1) Give a description of the problem
Trying to have if motion detected on camera then light comes on

3) What is happening/not happening?
Just simple piston where if motion is set off from camera then the front light will come on. However when it runs in IFTTT I get “Unable to make web request. Your server returned a 401” I had a look at the tutorial video on setting something like this up and pretty sure I followed it as described. What have I done wrong here?

Thanks!

Not sure about this but check to see if you need to encode the spaces in your URL Front%20Door%On. Also, I would mask some of those characters in the URL, you don’t want people on the internet turning your switch on and off :slight_smile:
