Blog2020 ≫ Evening DIY plans ruined

I had two ideas for this evening while Clare was out at pump class:

The first is off the menu, as it looks like there is an error on their site. I do have a url to which I can send requests of my choosing, but I can't add a new recipe that listens to that request as there's an error on their website.

The second, I had a quick look at assembled the new light fitting and tried to take the old one down. First the old one is full of dead bugs, but I sorted that quickly. Next on unscrewing the cover, all the wires have been painted over white when the ceiling was painted. Probably by me! So it's hard to see which is the live and which is the neutral, and that's important.

Think I have to leave this until the weekend, so I can do it in daylight...

UPDATE: and webhooks on IFTTT are fine actually, it was just confusing feedback when I added the if part of _if this then that_... I can send a request but it can only have three params max. I will see if I can make this work though. So when I run, grab a picture, update it with some text, upload the picture, use the picture somewhere?

DIY electrics are still off for another day though.
