    This past week we’ve been focusing on mostly behind the scenes functionality as we prepare to migrate data to a new backend. Most of our focus right now is on maintaining a high uptime. New features are in the works as well.

    We’re also responding to issues you may run into on our Adafruit IO Forum. Please post any issues with as much detail as you can. It definitely helps us out when fixing the bugs.

    Also, if you’re still using version 1 of our API, you may want to upgrade to the latest version 2. It has more features, and is generally better designed and easier to use than our previous API. The default for our docs is V2 now as well.

    This past week we’ve increased the size of at least one server, and made a fairly major database migration that is the first step towards long-term stability and speed. We have more changes in the pipeline, and will make announcements here and on the forums when they are ready to go.

  • User Submitted Tutorial - Guide for using Adafruit IO with Raspberry Pi and IFTTT

    A user on a reddit post has put together a great guide on general connectivity with IO from a Raspberry Pi and IFTTT. They cover the end-to-end setup from signing up for IO, IFTTT and example sketches.

    I’ll describe the basic steps for sending data from the RPi to Adafruit.io and then getting IFTTT to take an action based on it, but you can go in the other direction too: have IFTTT post information to Adafruit.io then have the RPi take some action based on that.

    We also have a guide that explains how to setup a door sensor that triggers through IFTTT as well.
