Automate blink(1) and Sense Energy Monitor from your AI assistant
Ask ChatGPT to control your blink(1) light and create applets that flash it for anything, with IFTTT MCP.
Set up IFTTT MCP
Create your own blink(1) and Sense Energy Monitor workflow
Create custom workflows effortlessly by selecting triggers, queries, and actions. With IFTTT, it's simple: “If this” trigger happens, “then that” action follows. Streamline tasks and save time with automated workflows that work for you.
3 triggers, queries, and actions
Device turned On/Off
Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires every time a device in your house turns on or off.
History of device turned On/Off
Query
A query lets your Applet retrieve extra data that isn't included in the trigger, so that your automation can include more complete or useful information.
This query returns a list of when a device in your house turns on or off.
Send blink event
Action
An action is the task your Applet carries out after the trigger occurs. It defines what happens as the result of your automation and completes the workflow.
This Action will send your blink(1) a new event.
