IFTTT SmartThings trigger stopped working (Oct 2024)

Anyone else noticed that the IFTTT trigger originating from SmartThings has stopped working?

Applets updating SmartThings device status through IFTTT are working but IFTTT applets which read a SmartThings device status to trigger other actions have stopped working for the last few days.

Hi @RBoy , about what time are you seeing this? My IFTTT trigger from ST worked this morning, but I won’t know if it will work when I get home from work until later today.

My ST trigger is when everyone leaves the house and turns on a virtual switch, which is what IFTTT triggers to arm my Blink systems.

Yes. I’ve noticed it as well. Started yesterday. I have changed nothing on my set up.

I have a Smartthings virtual switch, which when it is turned on, it changes my Arlo mode to “armed”.

Similar setup, when presence leaves, turn on virtual switch which triggers an IFTTT applet to arm blink. That’s not working for the last few days. Tried various combinations across multiple different IFTTT accounts, I’m not seeing any events from SmartThings trigger IFTTT, but IFTTT can change SmartThings device states. Essentially SmartThings Event -> IFTTT appears to be broken.

The same here!
Yesterday when I arrived home 20utc all was working fine.
SmartThings triggers to IFTTT worked as before.

Since 21utc (oct 23th) all IFTTT applets using triggers from SmartThings stopped working.

And indeed, an IFTTT applet such as IFTTT button press can still switch something on in SmartThings.

So the link between SmartThings and IFTTT is broken only one way.

@TKNT81 @eric182 i would highly recommend reporting it to IFTTT otherwise it won’t get fixed. I don’t think anyone is monitoring this one way issue since there are no errors. Here’s the link to report a problem

Hi @RBoy , sorry for the late reply. The trigger worked fine when I got home. I can also toggle the virtual switch in the app and it also works fine.

Yup, it just started working (it wasn’t until about 2 hours ago when I last checked). Tx for reporting it anyways, hopefully that made a difference.
