Problems connecting from IFTTT (February 2017)

[Spock]

I can connect via IFTT and create an applet now!.

I’m curious as to whether this outage only affected the creation of new applets? Or existing one as well? Since I’m a new user, I don’t know if existing applets were affected.

Thanks.

Existing applets were not affected, or there would’ve been a lot more people posting! The ability to use IFTTT is an essential integration for many people.

For those who do have it working now, you might want to take a look at the following thread for ideas:

What do you use IFTTT for with SmartThings? (Examples and Ideas)

Continuing the discussion from IFTTT and SmartThings: Here you go! Use this thread for a brief description of how you use IFTTT with SmartThings, then link to a specific topic thread to discuss it in more detail. To start, here is the original blog announcement of the IFTTT SmartThings channel. (Unfortunately the ultimate guide tutorial linked to from that announcement is no longer available. I’ve added a fresher link right after this. ) http://blog.smartthings.com/how-to/ultimate-ifttt-guide/ And for those new to IFTTT, here is a good 2015 tutorial article on how to use IFTTT, including the DO widget:

Confirmed. Mine is working now!

Yeah, original poster here and while I didn’t get any type of notification from support, I just tried and it worked fine for me too!

Very pleased to get to play with this too!

Working for me too!

It’s working for me now too. I have Google WIFI which was adding another level of complexity, I think. To make things easier - I got a network to WIFI adapter, and have all the ST hub and others on the same wifi. Google WIFI creates a mesh network, so it’s easier to have everything connected via WIFI and no hard network connections.

One thing to note, is if you’re trying to connect ST to your SMART tv, you need to have it on to be found. Didn’t think that would be required, so thought it would be in the pairing instructions but it wasn’t.

Anyways - I’m a happy camper now. Got everything I wanted to work, working. Thanks ST team & community!

I was able to connect as well. Looks like it is all good now.

I’ve seen this posted multiple times but the dates are old with people responding that it’s fixed now. I am finding that while attempting to connect my IFTTT account to my SmartThings hub I get a cannot connect error. Any simple fix for this beyond a complete reset?
