Speaking of IfTTT, did anyone else notice that only 3 of our custom applets will work now that IFTTT has started requiring a paid subscription for more than 3 applets?

Yes, Willie talked about it in one of the latest Beotalk podcasts.

I guess you are aware of this video as well:

Hi all!

We have recently released two "How to" documents that should help you understand how to control the BLI through shortcuts. You can fire Macros or send commands to resources, and this is possible on the BLI, both Essential and PRO.

This first one is more to the point and specifically about how to configure Shortcuts:

The second one is more of an end-to-end example of how to configure a simple Macro/Scene, and trigger it with Siri Shortcuts:

You guys are great, thank you so much. I will try and create some this evening and see how confused I get.

Cannot wait to give it a go.

Cheers

Hello Khimo Team,

would it be possible to trigger a BLI macro through a third party home automation system in such way? And what would the syntax (with user credentials handover) look like? 

The following attemts unfortunatily did not work: 

neither: http://bli.local/a/exe/Downstairs/Livingroom/MACRO/TV/FIRE
             (method: POST; json)

nor:       http://user:password@bli.local/a/exe/Downstairs/Livingroom/BUTTON/TV/PRESS

I am asking because IFTTT will become a payed service an I want to use my home automation system to communicate with the BLI gateway inernally - without using external cloud services...

Thanks for a short response.

Best regards
