Basic IFTTT Commands
Now we are ready for IFTTT integration. There are only three basic commands in this domain. This table is a summary of what I’m using. Refer to the home assistant page for lights for a full listing.
| Command | Command Description | Attribute | Attribute Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| turn_on | Turns one light on or multiple lights on using groups. | entity_id |
String or list of strings that point at entity_ids of lights. Else targets all. |
rgb_color |
A list containing three integers representing the rgb color you want the light to be. Three comma separated integers that represent the color in RGB. You can find a great chart here: Hue Color Chart | ||
brightness |
Integer between 0 and 255 for how bright the color should be. | ||
| turn_off | Turns one or multiple lights off. | entity_id |
String or list of strings that point at entity_ids of lights. Else targets all. |
| toggle | Toggles the state of one or multiple lights using groups. | entity_id |
String or list of strings that point at entity_ids of lights. Else targets all. |
So here are some examples:
- Turn on a YeeLight and set it to pure white at 100% brightness. Replace “music_light” in “light.music_light” with the name you have defined in the previous page
POST: http://your_server:8123/api/services/light/turn_on?api_password=_your_secret_password_
JSON:
{
“entity_id": “light.music_light",
“rgb_color": [255,255,255],
“brightness": “255″
}
- Turn off a YeeLight
POST: http://your_server:8123/api/services/light/turn_off?api_password=_your_secret_password_
JSON:
{
"entity_id": "light.music_light"
}
