How this automation works
This applet activates your littleBits output module for 3 seconds whenever your cloudBit receives an input signal. It helps you automate connected devices or trigger reactions from other modules seamlessly. Great for projects like door alerts or interactive displays that react instantly when input is detected.

Services used in this Applet
Create your own littleBits 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.
6 triggers, queries, and actions
Turned Off
Realtime trigger
Realtime Applets run after the trigger service notifies IFTTT of a new trigger event. Since IFTTT is notified proactively of new trigger events, realtime Applets normally run within a few seconds of a trigger event occurring.
This Trigger fires every time your cloudBit's input goes from high to low.
Turned On

This Trigger fires every time your cloudBit receives an input signal from another littleBits module.
History of when input dropped
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 your cloudBit's input goes from high to low. Note: this query will only return future events after this Applet is created.
Activate Output
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 activate the output of your cloudBit for 3 seconds.
Deactivate Output
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 deactivate the output of your cloudBit.
Set Output Level
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 set the output of your cloudBit to the specified level for the specified length of time.
