The Thingy:52 challenge

Challenge:

Make use of the Cloud feature for Thingy:52 which is based on IFTTT.

Create an Applet in IFTTT that pulish a message to the #challenge Slack channel when clicking the button.

The message must contain your team name, and a time stamp. Once the message is posted the jury will verify that the team has connected the Thingy:52 to IFTTT and that setup is working.

Required setup:

  • Install the Nordic Thingy app on your phone.
  • Create an account at ifttt.com
  • Connect the Slack service to ariot18.slack.com
