Now comes the really fun part – let's make our tree controllable over the internet. As a spoiler, I'm not going to hold your hand through this integration because the core concepts on using dweet.io and IFTTT together were explained in detail in Chapter 13, IoT Visualization and Automation Platforms. In particular, we learned how to integrate our Raspberry Pi with IFTTT and email to control a LED.
What I will do, however, is give you screenshots of my IFTTT configuration so that you can verify what you set up. Plus, as a bonus, I'll also give you a tip and screenshot on how to integrate with Google Assistant so that you can voice-control your IoTree!
At the time of writing, IFTTT has a Google Assistant service that can take arbitrary spoken text (in IFTTT lingo, an ingredient). I did check out Alexa integration but unfortunately, the Alexa IFTTT service could not take arbitrary input and so was not compatible...
