Syncing Alexa/Google with the Shopping List

Third party integrations Node-RED
7

Alrighty, after working on this for a little bit and not finding clear answers I finally figured it out and thought I would share how:

NOTE: I use Nabu Casa Cloud. If you don’t you need to set up HTTPS. I cant help with that, but I can highly recommend just using the cloud.

Step 1: In the Home Assistant UI go to configuration -> integrations -> (+) and add IFTTT as an integration. This will give you the URL

Step 2: Add this to automations.yaml

- id: webhook
  alias: 'Webhook Recieved'
  hide_entity: False
  initial_state: 'true'
  trigger:
    platform: event
    event_type: ifttt_webhook_received
    event_data:
      action: call_service
  action:
    service_template: '{{ trigger.event.data.service }}'
    data_template:
      name: '{{ trigger.event.data.name }}'

Step 3: Format your IFTTT aplet. Use whatever If statement (In this case Added item to shopping list), and

URL: Taken from IFTTT integration
Method: Post
Content Type: Application/JSON
Body:

{ "action": "call_service", "service": "shopping_list.add_item", "name": "{{AddedItem}}"}

Step 4: Add items! It should work. It does for me
