IFTTT Integration

Introduction​

This guide explains how to connect the Surpuissant SDK to IFTTT to, for example, automate the activation of lights.

For this, we assume that you already have a webhook configured on IFTTT as follows: image

Configuration​

Function Configuration​

Create the Function​

To integrate the function that will execute a webhook, start by defining the parameters that the Surpuissant SDK will use. Name the webhook active_light and use the following description:

The user will say if, yes or no he wants to turn on the light.

Next, fill in the function parameters as follows:

{
  "type": "object",
  "required": [
    "turn_light"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "turn_light": {
      "type": "boolean"
    }
  }
}

The goal here is to determine whether or not the user wants to turn on their lights.

Webhook Configuration​

Create the Webhook​

Create a new webhook with the function_name corresponding to the name of the function configured previously. The function_name indicates which webhook should be triggered when the selected function is executed. Use your endpoint_url from the IFTTT webhook configured in the introduction.

Configure the Webhook​

  1. method: Set the method to GET.
  2. headers: Leave the field empty.
  3. body_template: Leave the field empty.

Everything is set, your webhook is ready.

Integration test​

So now we can just run the SDK as usual with WakeWord and then say a phrase "Turn on the light please" so it runs the webhook and can send a message.

By following these steps, you can automate the activation of your lights using the Surpuissant SDK and IFTTT.
