My city collects recycling every other Thursday. I currently have and IFTTT applet to toggle a variable every Wednesday night, so that it will be true every other week. This triggers a light reminding me to put out the recycling bin.
I’d like to do this toggling step using Apilio’s native time conditions. It looks like using cron would be problematic, and I don’t see a method to have conditions become true every other week or, alternatively, use a logicblock to toggle a variable without IFTTT.
Is this just a current limitation or is there some mechanism I’m not thinking of?
Hi @Kyle,
that is indeed a use case that cannot accomplished natively with Apilio. It’s not something that can be achieved with a cron expression.
You could do some crafty things by setting a Apilio variable via IFTTT, but I don’t think that’s better than the solution you already have in place.
In case you want to save on one custom IFTTT applet I created a template that you can use: https://ifttt.com/applets/fnPvzJiS
