In this chapter, we explored and learned how to use our Raspberry Pi with both the IFTTT and ThinkSpeak IoT platforms. We created two IFTTT examples where our Raspberry Pi performed the This role in an IFTTT Applet to start an IFTTT workflow. We also saw how to use our Raspberry Pi in the That role so that it can be actioned by an IFTTT Applet. Next, we covered an example of how to integrate with the ThinkSpeak IoT platform to visualize temperature and humidity data collected by our Raspberry Pi. Finally, we discussed other IoT platform options that you may like to investigate and experiment with.
We certainly only covered the basics of what is possible with visualization and automation platforms in this chapter. I encourage you to seek our further IFTTT examples and ideas you can experiment with, and also explore the other platforms that we mentioned. And remember, while every platform will be different and have its own integration considerations, the commonly accepted standards...
