This is so cool that I made it into it's own topic. Say you wanted a PHP file or database to crunch some numbers for your photon and send the information back to the photon. Example: You need to check an employees number from a fingerprint scanner or RFID tag against a database. (Note: This tutoria…

@bko @Moors7 @peekay123 @ScruffR @clarissa Anyone think this might be useful? The companies that may still use php include: MCI/Worldcom, Dialpad, Google, Mitsubishi, Redhat, MP3.com , Lycos, Ericsson, Volvo, NASA, the W3C, SourceForge, Honda, Xoom, WinAmp, Sony Music, Cap Gemini Ernst & You…

I do not have a lot of experience with PHP but I know that @wgbartley does–maybe he can chime in here. It certainly looks like an interesting mash-up. I think web hooks or IFTTT would work in this case too.

You dont really need IFTTT to connect to a PHP web server, its just like calling any other url, you can do it with webhook if you need ssl or a simple httpclient if you dont.

Its a bit harder to use at the moment than it should be, hopefully in the future there will be a nice web interface to handle them. You need to install the particle CLI. Then create a json file that defines your webhook A simple one would look something like this { "eventName": "getTime", …

Any chance the new dashboard will allow uploading the .json file? Been about 12 months since I played with and did not enjoy the CLI. I am curious about webhooks, but do not think I will be able to use them in the classroom due to having to load the CLI. P.S. This Topic is about IFTTT shouldn't we …

So I made my own version of the cloud9 for particle at [image] hpssjellis/particle-photon-on-cloud9 particle-photon-on-cloud9 and have also included my own version of webhooks. Spent a while trying to find a website that sent reliable JSON data. I could make my …
