[TUTORIAL] Add IFTTT "button" to Windows10 desktop

Lets make a button for “sunset” for Yeelight RGB

  1. Sign to IFTTT https://ifttt.com/ and set up your Yeelights to work with it.

  2. Search for Maker webhooks or go to https://ifttt.com/maker and connect the service

  3. Go to https://internal-api.ifttt.com/myrecipes/personal and create recipe. For THIS trigger choose Maker webhooks and choose trigger “Receive a web request”

  4. Choose TRIGGER. Here we use trigger sunset

  5. For THAT search Yeelight and select color and set it to sunset


    and create a recipe.

  6. Go to https://internal-api.ifttt.com/maker_webhooks There you can see your KEY. Go to “How to trigger events”

  7. There put the trigger word to correct field, we used sunset


    Copy the URL with your trigger and key. You can also test if the recipe works.

  8. Go to desktop and create shortcut.
    To shortcut field put code:

powershell -Command “(new-object net.webclient).DownloadString(‘http://example.com’)”

and replace example.com address with your url from step 7.


Give a name and it is ready. Right click to icon and select it to run minimized and select better icon. You can create own icon in http://icoconvert.com/ for example.
here is some samples
