Monitoring Your Smart Home with InfluxDB and IFTTT

The article discusses how to monitor smart home devices with InfluxDB and IFTTT without any coding involved. It explains what IFTTT is and its capabilities, as well as introduces InfluxDB, a time series database that can track metrics and events from devices over time. The author then demonstrates an example of monitoring motion and sound events from Wyze cameras using these two tools. The integration requires no code and involves creating accounts on IFTTT and InfluxDB Cloud, setting up triggers and actions in IFTTT, and sending data to InfluxDB using the Line Protocol. Finally, the author provides a Flux query for aggregating motion events over a 10-minute window and visualizing the results in InfluxDB's Notebook feature.
