Thanks for a simple to use tutorial. I struggle with node-red in general, but this was well laid out and good to follow! Will definitely be following more of your stuff!
Great video! Just found out about node-red and super excited to use it as the brains of my android/windows/Linux automation. How could I periodically send fitbit step counts to node-red? In IFTTT I can set the 'this' to achieved Fitbit steps goal and then send the ingredient of step count via webhook but I can't work out how to send the step count every 10 mins (or whatever time). If I set the 'this' to webhook and do the timing in node-red I can't see how to get to the ingredient of fitbit step count (because it is not the 'this')
Thanks for watching! I am not sure of the details of Fitbit/IFTTT. It looks like Fitbit has an API you could possibly implement in NodeRED. dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/subscriptions/ And there is also a fitbit node that seems to poll for data: flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-node-fitbit
Not with IFTTT. IFTTT is in the cloud, so you need an internet connection for that. If you have control processor or device on your local network, there are different ways to communicate between them. A simple TCP connection is probably easiest. It all depends on what your devices support.

I've been using join for what feels like years and I'm a huge fan definitely in my top 3 favorite apps ever but I seem to be struggling with the node red end of it
