Re: 0.105.3 passing parameter to script from IFTTT not working

rwk · February 12, 2020, 12:00pm

I have the following script:

fanspeed:
  sequence:
  - service: system_log.write
    data_template:
      level: info
      message: 'Setting fan speed to: ({{speed}})'

From within HomeAssistant Developer Tools SERVICES I can run the following:

Service:  script.fanspeed
Service Data (YAML, optional)
1 "speed": "off"
CALL SERVICE

In the log this produces:
[homeassistant.components.system_log.external] Setting fan speed to: (off)

From IFTTT I have the following:

URL: https://<mydomain>.com/api/webhook/<my token>
Method: POST
Content Type: application/json

For the “Body” I have tried all of the following:

{"action": "call_service",  "service": "script.fanspeed", "speed": "off" }
{"action": "call_service",  "service": "script.fanspeed",  { "speed": "off" }  }
{"action": "call_service",  "service": "script.fanspeed", "data": { "speed": "off"}  }
{"action": "call_service",  "service": "script.fanspeed", "variables": {"speed": "off" } }
{"action": "call_service",  "service": "script.fanspeed", "fields": {"speed": "off" } }

The first two result in the log message:
[homeassistant.components.system_log.external] Setting fan speed to: ()
The rest produce no message (i.e., the script is not called). That is, none of them work!

I am using google assistant to trigger IFTTT, which is working.

Please, can someone tell me what I am to put in the ifttt body field to get it to pass a parameter “speed” to my script?

Thanks!

P.S. I had it working before I upgraded (using the REST api and an api_password) as follows:

url: http://<my domain>.com/api/services/script/fanspeed?api_password=<password>
body: {"speed":"off"}

But I had to convert when I upgraded HA…

P.P.S.
For production I use {{TextField}} but for testing I an using the constant “off”.

Here is a good example that does the same…

github.com

aFrankLion/hass-google_keep/blob/master/README.md

# hass-google_keep
Custom component for [Home Assistant](https://home-assistant.io/) to enable adding to and updating lists on [Google Keep](https://keep.google.com/).

## Installation
Add the `google_keep` folder and its contents to the `custom_components` folder in your Home Assistant configuration directory, and add the `google_keep` component to your `configuration.yaml` file.

### Example configuration.yaml entry
```yaml
google_keep:
  username: "[email protected]"
  password: "this_is_my_Google_App_password"
  list_name: "Grocery"
```
`list_name` is an optional configuration key that sets a default name for the Keep list to update.

### Dependencies
This component relies on [gkeepapi](https://github.com/kiwiz/gkeepapi), an unofficial client for the Google Keep API.

## Usage
The original intended use of this component was to restore the capability of Google Assistant to add things to Google Keep lists.

Any guess then why mine doesn’t work (when it was working using the old method)?

Is it the “trigger.event.data.things” item that makes it work? So what should my simple script look like?

Tried several changes but none worked. I can’t see the mapping from the example you posted to my situation…

Does anyone have an example using a script (not an automation) where they pass a parameter from IFTTT using the new IFTTT integration? If not, I guess I will report this as a bug…

why not call an script from an automation ?

So you think it’s a bug?

pergola.fabio · February 12, 2020, 2:32pm

no idea

Thanks for the suggestion! I may resort to that if I don’t hear of a solution.

I just don’t understand how such a basic issue could be a problem only for me…
