Let’s create a Hackey LED notification.

In this example we’ll create a Recipe so the Hackey LED will flash when you receive a Facebook notification.

Setup is now complete and your Hackey LED should flash green whenever you post a status update on Facebook.

If your action is not working currently please check if the IFTTT MakerChannel URL is correct. If you disconnect IFTTT and Facebook, the setting will not work.

That completes the Hackey intial setup guide, we hope you enjoy using Hackey!
