Heyo! We’re going to be using Spark’s new Internet Button and the IFTTT channel to build a fun way to stay connected with loved ones while they travel. To build along with me you’ll need a Spark Core or Photon and an Internet Button. I’ll be setting this up using gmail, but if you don’t have a gmai…

@Moors7 @christine Thanks for the tip about the Timer function. Here is the new version of the .ino which works much better, no random firing of the IFTTT. It now gets one reading every 7 seconds. //PUT YOUR GLOBAL VARIABLES HERE Timer myTimer1(7000, my7sFunction); // activate func…

Glad to see its working. If I might add one more thing: software timers are to be treated as interrupts, and should thus ideally be kept as simple/short as possible. Use it to set a flag which you can check for in your loop. The code you’ve currently got probably work, but if you can make that chang…

So the above code is a bit confusing and my webpage has some remnents from old code that make it confusing so I started a new topic at [image] Photon publish to IFTTT to PHP to IFTTT and back to the Photon Integrations This is so cool that I made it into it's own topic. …

The firmware flash fails for me, with a fatal error caused by ‘sparkbutton’ - https://i.imgur.com/Og0mpDV.png Is this due to a new naming of the button or something else?

Try including the Internet button library, then comment out the previous include (the one mentioned in the error).

Hi, Steph! Thanks for posting this tutorial. I’m finally getting started with the Photon button. I see a comment below that says it’s an old one, which might be causing my issue… When I load up the code in the Particle web-based ide, I get this error: iftttbuttonpush.cpp:1:37: fatal error: Spar…

Considering it’s the exact same issue as asked directly above, have you given that solution a try? https://docs.particle.io/guide/getting-started/build/photon/#using-libraries
