blink(1) to Smarthon IoT (micro:bit) integrations

Automate your workflows between blink(1) and Smarthon IoT (micro:bit) with IFTTT.

Create your own blink(1) and Smarthon IoT (micro:bit) 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.

5 triggers, queries, and actions

IoT:bit was triggered

Polling trigger
Polling Applets run after IFTTT reaches out to the trigger service and finds a new trigger event. These trigger checks occur every 5 minutes for Pro and Pro+ users, and every hour for Free users.
This trigger fires when iot:bit is triggered with command.

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 all things

Control Command

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.
You can use control command to control the IoT device. (e.g. turn on/off the light, control light intensity, control 180 servo, change variable for settings, set custom function)

Control Command (with value)

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.
You can use control command (with value) to control the IoT device. (e.g. turn on/off the light, control light intensity, control 180 servo, change variable for settings, set custom function)

Send blink event
