maker-webtask

Consume message between IFFT (Maker) and other webtask-queue consumers

Setup

1. Follow the !steps to setup a webtask queue
1. Setup your IFTTT Channel to listen for maker commands at the queue output above. You will want it to POST a body similar to the below:
``


{
    "device": "",
    "command": ""
}


1. Set an environment variable for the webtask queue above
  1. Set the environment variable

MAKER_WEBTASK_URL

 giving it the above url
  1. Set the environment variable

WEBTASK_SECRET

 giving it the secret used in the step above
1. Add the package as an NPM package reacting to these commands


var makerWebtask = require('maker-webtask');
var webtaskUrl = ...; // The url from the first step above
function turnOnLight(message) {
  if (message.command === 'on') {
    // Turn light on
  }
}
var pollingInterval = 5; // Check the queue every 5 seconds due to quotas
makerWebtask.run('lightbulb', turnLightOn, pollingInterval);


With the above example, when Maker calls the above URL with the following body:


{
    "device": "lightbulb",
    "command": "on"
}

``
The light will turn on.
