Figure 8.3 Particle app in IFTTT.
Click the Particle app, and you will be prompted to enter your Particle cloud login
details if this is your first time using IFTTT. This will grant you access to use the
particle.io features, so enter both your username and password here. Once granted access,
you will be presented with a trigger option on the next page, as shown in Figure 8.4. These
triggers determine how we interact with our Particle and how we process the result the
Particle returns to us. We know from writing our program that the levels of light using the
photocell are stored in a variable called analogvalue so we know that we can choose
Monitor A Variable.
