I’m using IFTT to do some cool stuff with my plug, mostly driven through code. However, something I need to be able to do is query for status – is the plug on or off – at a given moment.
I can’t seem to figure out how I might do this, and since there’s no open API to directly query the device I’m a bit lost. I realize that it’s possible since the app can clearly show me the status of the plug AND allow me to flip it with a tap, so I am hoping to figure out how to expose that first bit of functionality.
Legendary. I’ll check this out, it’ll actually come in handy with other pieces around the experience like network delays interacting via IFTT.
I get the business case that exposing an API to these devices decreases interaction through the app / partnerships, but wow would it be useful for devs.
