In reply to asrar Haq. Did you solve this? I tried with a PIR and a door sensor, but no luck. It only works with a button

To use this as a door status monitor (open and close) we need active low pulses for both door open and door close events. RST is pulled high by the resistor most of the time. I think we are missing an event when the switch is restored back.

How can we add another button to call another url? I cannot figure out how.

Thanks for the support but I said two days ago that I figured it out and you even replied to that comment saying “Great!”. Then why did you still reply to this comment. I’m not complaining or anything so don’t take it the wrong way.
Also I made the project completely and now it’s working flawlessly. Thanks for the article and the support in the comments.
Regards,
Srijan.

Hi.
Unfortunately, due to the amount of work, we don’t build custom projects for our readers.
You can try adding some Serial.print() statements along the code to find out where the code gets blocked or if there is any condition preventing the code from proceeding to the IFTTT request.
Additionally, you can also try to find help in the ESP8266 or Arduino forums.
Good luck with your project.
Regards,
Sara

Hi, I would like to say thanks for replying first of all.
I have tried that WiFiManager library and it’s doing its job. But the problem is that after it gets connected to the wifi network it doesn’t send the IFTTT request. I have tried to modify the code in so many different ways. I have also tried to paste the ifttt credentials before the setup and then the void makeIFTTTRequest part after the void loop(which is empty of course) but it isn’t working. I’m actually very new to Arduino programming. I bought my first arduino just a month and a half ago and this esp8266 module just a few weeks ago. I saw this ifttt button video on YouTube and was very excited to make this. I gave this a try and was very happy with it but the problem is that I can’t take it anywhere as I’ve coded my home wifi credentials. I know it might be too much to ask for but if possible and if you have some spare time someday can you please provide the code for this button in which I can change the wifi credentials through the browser method.
I’ll be waiting.

Once again thank you.

Hi.
What you need is something called “WiFi Manager”.
This library allows you to do that: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager

Hello! I made this button and was very happy with it. But, I was thinking if there is any way to change the ssid and password without hard coding? I saw many codes for changing the ssid and password without hard coding but I was unable to get them to work with this code. If you can provide the code for this button in which we can change ssid and password without having to remote the esp8266 from the little box and then uploading it, it would be very helpful. Please help in any way that you possibly can. I’m too much interested in this button and I’m thinking of making 2 or 3 of these. Thank you.
