Running the IFTTT and LED Python program

In this section, we will run our program and obtain a unique thing name and URL for use with the dweet.io service.

Here are the steps to follow:

1. Run the code that can be found in the chapter13/dweet_led.py file in a Terminal. You will receive an output similar to the following (your thing name and therefore your URLs will be different):

(venv) $ python dweet_led.py
INFO:main:Created new thing name 749b5e60
LED Control URLs - Try them in your web browser:
  On : https://dweet.io/dweet/for/749b5e60?state=on
  Off : https://dweet.io/dweet/for/749b5e60?state=off
  Blink : https://dweet.io/dweet/for/749b5e60?state=blink

As we mentioned previously, chapter13/dweet_led.py is an exact copy of the same program we discussed in Chapter 2, Getting Started with Python and IoT. If you need more context around how this program works, please revisit that chapter and the code discussion contained therein.

2. Keep your Terminal open with the program running...
