Greetings All,
I have been able to use the IFTTT Maker channel to trigger changes in HA. I want to do the opposite now.
I have a On Hub router that works with IFTTT. I use to for my presence detection. When a device connects to the router IFTTT triggers and event to set device status as “home” It sets devices to “not_home” when they disconnect. Works wonderfully.
Now what I want to do is set my chromecast to priority device in the router when it is in a play state.
I have created a new recipe in IFTTT using the Maker channel trigger. It’s called “chromecast_playing”. I have tried running the recipe manually by inputting it in the browser and it works fine. I am now at the testing phase in HA but cannot get it to trigger the recipe,
I am using the HA IFTTT trigger service in the GUI to test before setting up automation.
Here’s what i am using:
domain: ifttt
service: trigger
service data: {“event”: “chromecast_playing”}
What am I doing wrong here? Why won’t it fire the recipe at IFTTT?
Thanks.
