Run Smarthon IoT command when Ring detects motion
1 ready-made Ring and Smarthon IoT (micro:bit) Applets
Turn one on, or build your own. Ring can start an automation with "New Motion Detected", and IFTTT can then run "Control Command" on Smarthon IoT (micro:bit).
Automate Ring and Smarthon IoT (micro:bit) from your AI assistant
Ask Claude to create Ring applets that notify you when motion or doorbells are detected, right from your AI assistant, with IFTTT MCP.

Create your own Ring 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.
8 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.
New Motion Detected
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 every time a motion is detected at the given doorbell.
New Ring Detected
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 every time somebody rings your Ring Doorbell.
History of Motion Detections
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 every time a motion is detected at the given doorbell.

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)
