But do you receive the email? Does the final project work? Thanks for letting me know… I’ve only tested the command directly the IFTTT website.

Yes, i do receive the email, but with blank values.
The project, however fails. I tried with ES8266. when i run i get errors. I do not have bme280 yet, so i have dummy values:

Start your code here
try:
  temp = 55.0
  hum = 40.0
  pres = 10.0
  
  sensor_readings = {'value1':temp,'value2':hum,'value3':pres}
  print ('Sensor read:', sensor_readings)
  
  request_headers = {'Content-Type:application/json'}
  
  request = urequests.post('http://maker.ifttt.com/trigger/bme280-1/with/key/' + api_key, json=sensor_readings,headers=request_headers)

But when i download, i get errors with http: (no “s”):
Connection successful-ful
(‘192.168.y.z’, ‘255.255.255.0’, ‘192.168.x.x’, ‘192.168.x.x’)
Sensor read: {‘value3’: 10.0, ‘value1’: 55.0, ‘value2’: 40.0}

if i use https: i get:

Thanks
P.S. BTW why would the values be printed in different order than in the string above:
“Sensor read: {‘value3’: 10.0, ‘value1’: 55.0, ‘value2’: 40.0}”
 
 

To answer your questions:

• You need to connect to IFTTT with HTTP on the ESP. Please don’t modify that part of the code, otherwise it will not work.
• When it prints the sensor_readings, “the string” is not ordered {‘value3′: 10.0, ‘value1’: 55.0, ‘value2’: 40.0} because it’s actually a Python dictionary. However, that will not affect the request and it works
• The “TypeError: ‘set’ object isn’t subscriptable” error means that you’ve defined the dictionary in a wrong way. I’m not sure what’s missing from you, because on my end that dictionary works…

Thanks, Rui. It was my mistake.  I used wrong syntax.
I used the syntax from IFTTT curl line: “”Content-Type: application/json”” in the code you gave .
Your code had single quotes around each item :  ‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’,
In the code i typed in, i was missing quotes: “‘Content-Type: application/json'”
As soon as i used your code i got the event fired and the 3 values in the email.
Sorry, to have bothered you with this.
Thanks again!
 
 

No problem! I didn’t realize that too and I’m glad you made it work! Regards,
Rui
