Sending push notifications
Using IFTTT, you can easily send push notifications to your phone from your ESP8266-based IoT project. This is possible through the Pushover service. To demonstrate this, we will get a temperature measurement from the DHT11 sensor using the ESP8266 and send push notifications to an Android phone when the temperature goes below 30 degrees Celsius.
Getting ready
You will use the same setup as in the previous recipe, which includes a DHT11 sensor connected to an ESP8266 board. Also, download the Pushover app on your phone, create an account, and provide the name of your device.
How to do it…
Log in to your IFTTT account and create a new applet.
Set the Maker service as your This, as you did in the previous recipe. The event name will still be
temperature_low. The Maker service configuration will be as follows:
Once the Maker service is fully configured, proceed to set up the That service. The service we will be using to send the push notifications is the Pushover service...
