Building the IFTTT rules engine
Now that we are sending the required data to the API engine, we will be doing two things:
- Showing data that we got from the smart wearable on the web, desktop, and mobile apps
- Executing rules on top of the data
We will get started with the second objective first. We will be building a rules engine to execute rules based on the data we have received.
Let's get started by creating a folder named ifttt at the root of the api-engine/server folder. Inside the ifttt folder, create a file named rules.json. Update api-engine/server/ifttt/rules.json, as follows:
[{
"device": "b8:27:eb:39:92:0d",
"rules": [
{
"if":
{
"prop": "fall",
"cond": "eq",
"valu": 1
},
"then":
{
"action": "EMAIL",
"to": "arvind.ravulavaru@gmail.com"
}
