The Berto IFTT driver provides integration to the IFTTT Webhooks Service. To use the driver you need to connect your IFTTT account to the Webhooks service to obtain a key.
In order for your Control4 system to recieve messages from the IFTTT service you need to post your webhook request to https://ifttt.berto.io which in turn securely forwards the request to your system using MQTT over SSL. Authentication is provided by your IFTTT key being part of the URL that is setup on the Webhooks service. The URL is in the format used for sending webhook requests from IFTTT to the Berto service is https://ifttt.berto.io/trigger/{event}/{system MAC address}/{key}. Requests not macthing this URL are immediately closed and also any requests with a content length greater that 1024 bytes are shutdown.
Users setup with a Berto Profile driver will be able to receive messages from the IFTTT driver based on the pin number supplied in the event of the message. The IFTTT message event should contain the user porfile name in uppercase followed by a space and the users pin number. This ensures that the driver only processes message received with the correct credentials. The message is then sent to the corresponding user profile driver.
There is a limit of sending or receiving 100 requests per day with the Basic subscription level.
When an IFTTT message is received an event is fired and the appropriate variables will be updated, see below. If the message contains a body and is in JSON format then values will be extracted from the JSON to update the variables setup under Properties. eg. '{ "NAME": "Jon Doe", "TEMPERATURE": 23, "STATE": true }'. You must set the Content Type to "application/json".
The driver also provides the Send Event action to post an event to the Webhooks service. You need to specify the Event to publish and optionally 3 values that can be used by the IFTTT Webhooks service.
