In this recipe, we are going to see how to send push notifications from your Arduino boards, via IFTTT. As we are slowly discovering the IFTTT service, we are only going to build a simple alert system here.
To start, you need to connect to the Pushover channel, which is a service to send notifications to your mobile device. If you don't have a Pushover account yet, create one by downloading the app on your mobile device.
Then, add the channel inside IFTTT:
Next, we are going to need some sensors connected to your Arduino board. Please see the previous chapter to see how to connect a photocell and the DHT11 sensor to your Arduino board.
We are now going to create our first IFTTT recipe:
