Making web request to IFTTT

[merrick777]

Yes, but this is a WHILE statement so it runs forever when the door is open… meaning that only the first two announcements would ever be accurate if hard coded. That said, how can I make it run max of 4 announcements? Anything beyond that would be toooo naggy (and too many text messages, once I get that working). I’m thinking refrigerator repair, or some other crazy reason where it might be acceptable for door to be open for a very long time… definitely dont want ‘no limit’ to the notifications.

[c1arkbar]

While contact is open and variable is less than 4. After all the notifications increment the variable. Below the while statement reset the variable

I gave two options. Just add another 1 sec wait.

[merrick777]

Just add another 1 sec wait.

LOL… genius.
Did I do the variables correctly here?

[c1arkbar]

Looks right to me

[merrick777]

Interesting… So I added another wait for 1 second and that issue is solved. But then I tested:
2 minute announcement said the word “Attention” THREE times.
4 minute announcement said the word “Attention” FOUR times.
Still no SMS received - I tried my 10 digit phone number and I tried preceding it with country code (1 for United States).

This should be helpful for anyone looking to setup ifttt webhooks of any kind.

[Video] Setup IFTTT (Alexa & Google Home) to trigger Pistons/Actions

The following video walk through should help webCoRE users trigger any action/piston by using “Alexa, trigger _____” In this video, I made a good night routine as a trigger, but literally it can be anything you want. The video shows how to use IFTTT to trigger webCoRE, and specifically, the “IF” trigger we selected was “Amazon Alexa” You could repurpose this to use with any service available in IFTTT EDIT: I should have shown it in the video, but instead of selecting Alazon Alexa as a trigge…

Turn your logging to full. Add log to console error age([refrigerator:contact]) after the first message and the second message.

I can’t imagine why the speak text would say the word ‘attention’ extra times??

But with your SMS, in the UK, for my number starting with 07950, I have to type +447950…

I have no idea about the format of US numbers, but maybe you need to type +1 and then remove the leading zero from your phone number?

[c1arkbar]

Just tested the phone number part. I only used my 10 digit number. No country code needed for the US.

I have a feeling the time is not falling between the range setup so the sms is never getting executed

[Robin]

Perhaps change:

Wait 2 minutes
Wait 1 second

To:

Wait 61 seconds… my minds not fully on it today but maybe the two triggers 1 second apart is causing the error. After all, the word ‘attention’ takes about 1 second to speak.

[merrick777]

Yeah, I tried with the 1 and I tried +1
Neither worked for me.

[Robin]

Funny thing is the range between 210000 and 270000 gives a clear 30 second window either side of the 4 minute mark… 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 minutes… and it sent me texts just fine with that range.

[merrick777]

Ok, I’ll change the WAIT time and see what happens. Before changing it, I just tested again:
2 min: “Attention” was said 3 times. OPEN TIME SAID ONE MINUTE
4 min: “Attention” was said 4 times. OPEN TIME SAID THREE MINUTES

[merrick777]

Add log to console error age([refrigerator:contact]) after the first message and the second message.

I don’t understand. I put the logging to full… should I post it?

[c1arkbar]

Please start providing logs. We can all stop throwing darts in the dark.

The log to console was so we can see what the time is outputting as

[merrick777]

Wait 61 seconds… my minds not fully on it today but maybe the two triggers 1 second apart is causing the error. After all, the word ‘attention’ takes about 1 second to speak.

We’re working with 2 minutes, so I changed it to 121 seconds.

There it is you have an extra ] at the end of your expression where it compares the time field on line 36

How did we miss that haha… nice catch
