IFTTT not connecting ?

StuBee — Sat, 16 Dec 2017 18:45:24 GMT

I'm trying to setup IFTTT again after trying it a year ago.

However when I'm on IFTTT and trying to save a recipe it states "WE CANT ACCESS YOUR SERVICE" in a big red banner at the top of the page.

If I go into the IFTTT settings for Arlo it says my Arlo is "Active" connected as "null null". I've tried unconnecting and reconnecting it. It prompts to allow iFTTT access which I accept...but same issue.

Any troubleshooting steps I'm missing?

thanks.

Im trying to create an applet that connects Arlo (Arming). But al i get in the Connect Arlo window is "Loading". Tryed to "wait" it out but notning happends. My other connections with IFTTT works as they should - only when im trying to connect to Arlo this happends. Anyone else that have this issue?

Many people have reported that IFTTT integration is not currently working and hasn't worked for a while. Perhaps try Stringify but I think stringify is based on IFTTT so it might not work.

I can tell you that Smartthings definitely does work

A lot of people report that it's not working currently. Not sure what the deal is. In the meantime, maybe try Stringify though Stringify runs off IFTTT I think. If you have a Smartthings Hub, that definitely works for automations

I've escalated this issue back to engineering with the details described here.

I will provide an update when I have more information.

Maybe Arlo should update it's KB to state that IFTTT does not currently work with Arlo?

Seems wrong to advertise a feature that folks have said has been broken for a while.
