IFTTT Number to Time

[wgh4]

Hi Team! Need some help with a project.

1. I’m trying to figure out how to convert a number that was passed from IFTTT into a webcore variable, into a time variable. I want to be able to tell Google Home to set a time, then pass that time to IFTTT, which passes it to webcore. Then webcore would convert it to a time variable and store it globally for use with several pistons.

I have accomplished the following:

• Tell Google home a number
• IFTTT takes that number and passes it to a webcore piston
• !!! Can’t figure out how to convert that number into usable time variable

Any help would be appreciated.

this is code from a IFTTT call I made, switchval was what was passed

edit : never mind, see you got var, just can’t convert to a time var

some time functions, not sure what format your time comes in as

Try wrapping the incoming number in time() function

Also please follow the template in order to get faster help.

Just wanted to do similar function to set my wake up time for lights automation, did a little bit research on the forum and took inspiration from @John68, finally I came with this:

And in ifttt:

First I tired with saying numbers in ifttt, but it turned out that ifttt can’t recognize time numbers like 7:15. So I switched to phrases and parsed the string inside the piston. Finally setting to my global variable wakeUpTime.

Thanks this was great. Was wondering how to do this. Should be a turial for this exact thing.
