Has anyone tried to get these ( https://www.lowes.com/pd/Iris-120-Volt-White-Smart-Plug-Works-with-Alexa/1000135207 ) working with Smartthings yet? They are currently $14.99 though it’s likely a limited time offer, they apparently work with Amazon Alexa, though no mention of IFTTT.

There is no “API” for the WiFi plug. To recap the steps. ST Virtual Switch. Call it #Vswitch for this purpose. Create Iris Scene. “WiFi Plug on” to turn on the Iris WiFi Smart Plug. Install Iris+ app. It takes input from IFTTT via the Notifications service and sends it to Iris. IFTTT recipe: …

Iris and Iris+ both are loaded on my smartphone as well as IFTTT. All are working and iris apps interface with my phone just fine. I go IFTTT, then search for the Notifications applet, connect to it, then click on “New Applet” to attempt to create a new applet. The screen “if +this, then that” come…

The “This” piece would be SmartThings as you are triggering the action with a SmartThings Virtual switch. The "“That” piece would be the aforementioned Notifications service using the scene= syntax as shown above. My apologies for not understanding the original issue. We’re all here to learn and …

Michael, what I believe is missing in your directions is how to create the Virtual Switch that is recognized by SmartThings applet in IFTTT so that IFTTT can send the notification to the switch using IRIS +. Here is how I am attempting to create this. if you walk through it on your device, you ma…

You are making perfect sense. So now we’re dealing with how to make a Virtual Switch. There are many fine apps that our amazing community has created. The Virtual Switch I am using was created via the Alexa Helper app. It sounds like you are a new to this, which is fine. I’ve only been here a c…

[image] bobkeown: It then asks me to select a switch. Since the IRIS Wifi Plug is not paired in SmartThings, it cannot locate the switch. It IS paired on my IRIS hub, but there is no way to access the IRIS + software applet through IFTTT. Without creating a Virtual Switch in SmartThings firs…

I know i am a noob, but i am trying to understand this. -smartthings has device handlers, why are they not used for some of these wifi (cloud) connected devices. -if this is not possible then how can i get them inside smartthings via other applications? My main reason for asking is that the auto…

@carelcolpa , if you are directing this comment to my workaround, the reason I had to use IFTTT and the Iris+ app is because there are no device handlers currently for this Wi-Fi plug. As it is not a z-wave plug, Iris would need to give access to their interface to that device. To my knowledge, tha…

no i surly don’t have anything against your workaround, i do think the ultimate would be that all devices end up in smartthings, this is my reason to ask. I have at this moment about 40 devices in my smartthings hub most are zigbee or zwave, some like my logitech harmony hub and iris keypad are con…

As @Michael_Deffendall mentioned, it is up to each device’s manufacturer whether they allow for outside integrations or not. That is because unlike zigbee and Z wave, there is no standardized message format for Wi-Fi. It’s similar to a post office. The format for the “envelope” is defined by the Wi…
