@grafting can I make it work in the smart things app ?  

---

@levy34 yes but you need to make a virtual switch in the old classic app and control it through ITTT

---

@grafting eek sounds complicated

---

@levy34 it's not to bad once you've done it once! It's just SmartThings talking to another app really ! Most my house is smart life which is not compatible with SmartThings without IFTTT

---

@grafting I’ve made a ifttt button so how do I add into app ?  

---

@grafting done that bit

---

@levy34 go into smart apps in the classic app and select automation, virtual device creator

---

@grafting I’ve set ifttt but it’s not turning my lights on in the ifttt app

---

@levy34 in the IFTTT app its classed as an applet

---

You have to make an applet to turn on and an applet to turn off

---

Crazy I know

---

@grafting ermmm it won’t turn on yet

---

@levy34 you have to allow the IFTT to work with your other app ! There is a ticky box that comes up

---

@grafting done that

---

@grafting ifttt might be down

---

Says it’s linked

---

@levy34 if its linked and you have gave permission to talk to each other should be good ! What are you using to control lamp ? SmartThings button ?  

---

@grafting it’s a sonoff r1 light switch

---

When you press the switch does it come up in SmartThings app ?  

---

@grafting No

---

@levy34 it's an IFTTT problem then ! Do you have a virtual device in SmartThings?  

---

App that controls it working fine

---

@levy34 yea it's getting smatthings to control it ! Dont use other people's applets make your own

---

@grafting I did make my own

---

@levy34 button widget by different people

---

@grafting loud golf is mine

---

Create own apletes

---

Make own apletes from scratch

---

@levy34 you'll sus this ! Straight forward once you've done it ! You follow drone stuff so if you work with betaflight this is piss easy lol
