I think I may have just figured out why you skipped Wappwolf…
I knew tehre was a limit to the free version, but I forgot about it until the notification I just got; alerting me tot he fact that I exceeded the limit, and that my automations will be disabled for the next 24 hours.
Now I will check to see if there is a way of limiting how often it fires (or an alternative to Wappwolf)…
UPDATE1:
OK, now I’m playing with Microsoft Flow…
https://us.flow.microsoft.com
The advantage with Flow over Wappwolf is that the free version allows 750 runs per month, which works out to ~25 per day; whereas Wappwolf only allows 10 per day.
Aw-nuts! I thought had Flow working, but the resulting file in the FTP destination is blank.
Later, I will do a little research to see if I can get it working properly, but I’m out of time for now.
Does anyone know this…
With SmartThings/IFTTT integration, is it possible to turn an Applet ON/OFF programatically?
If so, I could configure the IFTTT Applet to only be ON between sunrise and sunset.
This would allow me to increase the frequency of Flow runs (not by much, but better than just once per hour).
UPDATE2:
@eibyer
I finally decided to actually try the PHP script (links below) that’s out there, and it works PERFECTLY (much simpler and easier than trying to do it with a complex mash of online services and locally running apps and services, etc)!
With this method, the only catch is that your webspace needs to support PHP; most do now days. So, give it a try…if it works, you’re good to go.
VERY-basic-instructions:
For anyone (like me) with multiple BloomSky units, you will need to
(if you only have a single BloomSky unit, just ignore step 3)
-
Create a separate copy of the script for each BloomSky unit
-
Insert your BloomSky API key where it says in the script
-
In the line like this…
$imageURL = $data[1][‘Data’][‘ImageURL’];
…the numerical value represents which BloomSky unit the image is being grabbed from.
The first one in your account will be digit 0, and the second one will be the digit 1, and so on.
-
Upload (use plain, old notepade for editing, and ftp for uploading to make sure there is no odd formatting or anything) that PHP file to a directory in your webspace.
-
Point the src= of wherever you’re wanting the image to this PHP file.
i.e. in the case of those of us wanting these images on our ActionTiles Panels, etc, use the URL to this PHP file to create a new entry in ‘My Media’ (or just edit an old one), and use as normal.
