IFTTT/IRKit Integration

If X then send infrared signal.

Examples

Turn on TV at 08:00 AM on Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri.

Turn on Air Conditioner when Bot Tweets.

How to use

1. Prepare clientkey and deviceid.

   clientkey authenticates the client, in this case IFTTT.
   deviceid identifies the IRKit device which you want to send infrared signals from.

   First, issue a POST /keys request to IRKit.
   see http://getirkit.com/#IRKit-Device-POST-keys for details.

   # Search for IRKit on Wi-Fi network.
   % dns-sd -B _irkit._tcp
   Browsing for _irkit._tcp
   DATE: ---Sun 15 Feb 2015---
   22:48:57.082  ...STARTING...
   Timestamp     A/R    Flags  if Domain               Service Type         Instance Name
   22:48:57.427  Add        2   4 local.               _irkit._tcp.         irkitae42
   
   # Get IRKit's IP address.
   % dns-sd -G v4 irkitae42.local
   DATE: ---Sun 15 Feb 2015---
   22:49:22.863  ...STARTING...
   Timestamp     A/R Flags if Hostname                               Address                                      TTL
   22:49:23.159  Add     2  4 irkitae42.local.                       192.168.1.72                                 15
   
   % curl -i "http://192.168.1.72/keys" -d ''
   HTTP/1.0 200 OK
   Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
   Server: IRKit/2.1.2.9.ge55ad73
   Content-Type: text/plain
   
   {"clienttoken":"0DA15AE27F0A4615981227FA38023B72"}
   

   Next, issue a POST /1/keys request to our server on Internet using the clienttoken.
   see http://getirkit.com/#IRKit-Internet-POST-1-keys for details.

   % curl -i -d "clienttoken=0DA15AE27F0A4615981227FA38023B72" "https://api.getirkit.com/1/keys"
   HTTP/1.1 200 OK
   Server: ngx_openresty
   Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2015 06:52:09 GMT
   Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
   Content-Length: 94
   Connection: keep-alive
   Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
   Access-Control-Allow-Headers: X-Requested-With
   X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
   
   {"deviceid":"3D191C478FAC431E805DC0B1FA0FC6C1","clientkey":"942711A9FBF947E3BD1E84BFD105FD6B"}
   

   Now you've got a clientkey and deviceid.

2. Prepare the Infrared Signal JSON representation.

   Press your boring Infrared remote's button towards IRKit, and issue a GET /messages request to IRKit.
   This signal is going to be sent from IRKit when the trigger fires.

   % curl -i "http://192.168.1.72/messages"
   HTTP/1.0 200 OK
   Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
   Server: IRKit/2.1.2.9.ge55ad73
   Content-Type: text/plain
   
   {"format":"raw","freq":38,"data":[18031,8755,1190,1190,1190,3341,1190,3341,1190,3341,1190,1190,1190,3341,1190,3341,1190,3341,1190,3341,1190,3341,1190,3341,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,3341,1190,3341,1190,1190,1190,3341,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,1190,3341,1190,3341,1190,3341,1190,3341,1190,3341,1190]}
   

   The response JSON is the Infrared Signal JSON representation.
