Nightscout/IFTTT Maker

Overview

In addition to the normal web based alarms, and pushover, there is also integration for IFTTT Maker.

With Maker you are able to integrate with all the other IFTTT Channels. For example you can send a tweet when there is an alarm, change the color of hue light, send an email, send and sms, and so much more.

Events

Plugins can create custom events, but all events sent to maker will be prefixed with ns-. The core events are:

• ns-event - This event is sent to the maker service for all alarms and notifications. This is good catch all event for general logging.
• ns-allclear - This event is sent to the maker service when an alarm has been ack'd or when the server starts up without triggering any alarms. For example, you could use this event to turn a light to green.
• ns-info - Plugins that generate notifications at the info level will cause this event to also be triggered. It will be sent in addition to ns-event.
