Request for IFTTT Tutorial Please
Trying to piece this together is getting the users nowhere.
We need a solid STEP-BY-STEP (or very good outline) on setting up the following:
-what do I do with CoRE and IFTTT? What is the IFTTT condition in CoRE used for? Does it trigger something? Does it wait for a signal from IFTTT?
-how do I use Maker with CoRE?
-how would I retrieve a cell value in a Google spreadsheet and store that value?
-how would I send a variable value to a spreadsheet to a Google spreadsheet via IFTTT, Maker or otherwise
There have been several disconnected threads on the method of showing how to get the URL of CoRE. They are scattered about and I will paste those below. But the nuts and bolts of how are hard to understand and follow.
Thank you.

You can also use CoRE & IFTTT bidirectionally via the Maker channel - CoRE can trigger IFTTT events and IFTTT can perform CoRE actions. Not as nice as native integration into IFTTT, but works.

You may be able to do this with CoRE, version v0.1.10e and up. Can you have your Apple Watch application (the one you tap on) send an HTTPS request? If not, can you get that number of minutes you want to wait to an IFTTT recipe as an ingredient? If you can, then here’s what you can do:
Install CoRE, see instructions here .
Go to IFTTT and have a recipe send a Maker request to CoRE’s endpoint followed by /ifttt/poolFilter
To find out the endpoint URL, enable OAuth for CoRE in the ST IDE and go to the dashboard (within the CoRE ST app), copy the URL for the dashboard, then replace the /dashboard… with /ifttt/poolFilter, like so:
URL should look like this:
https://graph.api.smartthings.com/api/token/0adfffff-cfff-4fff-8fff-9fffffffffff/smartapps/installations/e76fffff-efff-4…
Open the dashboard in a web browser. Copy the url, removing the /dashboard end.
At this point go to IFTTT’s Maker channel (action). You have two options:
Use an IFTTT trigger - append /ifttt/[eventName] to the URI copied above and use that in Maker. POST request with JSON content type. Replace [eventName] with an expressionof your choice. You can add ingredients of the if event into the Maker request body, CoRE can import those into variables. In CoRE, create a piston and use a trigger for IFTTT capability. You will need to enter the same [eventName] you used above. If in expert mode, you can also choose to Import event data - this will bring data from IFTTT into CoRE.
Use the URI copied above followed by /execute/[pistonName] where [pistonName] is the name of the piston. You may ha…
This setup will allow you to issue individual button press commands by voice from a Google Home device to multiple Harmony hubs. Example uses:
“Hey Google, tell living room to pause”
“Hey Google, tell master bedroom volume up 6 times”
“Hey Google, tell living room left 3 times”
“Hey Google, tell master bedroom to mute”
There’s no support for launching or ending activities, didn’t see a need since it’s easy to turn them on or off already using either GH/SmartThings integration or GH/IFTTT/Harmony integration.
Much credit goes to sushilks from GitHub , he developed the js utilities for Harmony, I just created a simple web server that accepts GET requests and calls certain functions in his harmony-hub-util app. Alexa/Echo users may want to check out his alexaHarmonyApp , it uses a custom …
