Welcome to the OctoPrint_IFTTTmaker wiki!

Why?

I originally started the plugin to use IFTTT to control a power outlet in order to have the printer power off after the print was completed.

Recipes / Applets Ideas

• On op-PrintDone notify using the ios or android notification hook.
• On op-PrintDone shutoff your wemo outlet
• On op-PrintStarted turn on a hue lamp; on op-PrintDone turn it off
• On op-PrintDone log to a google spreadsheet
• On op-PrintDone send a tweet

Setting up IFTTT Webhooks

1. Open an IFTTT account if you don't have one
2. Goto https://ifttt.com/services/maker_webhooks/settings
3. Click Connect
4. You should see a URL: https://maker.ifttt.com/use/`XXXXXXXXXXXX`
5. Instead of a bunch of Xs you will see your maker key
6. You can now create recipies using the webhook connector

Creating an example recipe

1. Goto https://ifttt.com/create
2. Click +this and search for webhooks
3. Select Receive a web request
4. For Event Name enter op-PrintDone (or any other trigger from the plugin)
5. Click create trigger
6. Click +that
7. Search for Notifications
8. Select Send a notification from IFTTT app
9. Change the text to {{EventName}} {{Value1}} finished ({{Value2}}) (Value 1 is the name of the file and Value 2 is the elapsed time.)
10. Click Create Action

Troubleshooting

Here are a few tips for trouble shooting:

• The op-ClientOpened event is triggered every time you connect to octoprint via the browser. You can re-trigger this by refreshing the browser. (Easiest was to test event triggers)
• Visit https://ifttt.com/activity to see what is happening from the ifttt side
• To see the logs from octoprint try "tail -f /home/pi/.octoprint/logs/octoprint.log | grep IFTTT"
