Magic wand from smartphone

Made for my wife a magic wand from the phone without a single line of code for the Automate + Integromat application script.

I created an application on the phone that reacts to the position of the phone in space and is able to remember the trajectory of the phone.

As a result, I got a magic wand. )

Now my wife, in order to place an order in her favorite package, waves her phone and the order prepared in advance from her Google Sheets goes to the store, and the phone receives a message that the order has been sent.

Within an hour, she receives a call from the delivery company with specifications for the order or with the specification of the delivery time.

2.2. “HTTP request” in the “Connectivity” section.

Configure HTTP connection:

Request URL: Link to WebHook in the Integromat system. I’ll describe in more detail below.

Request content body: Simple Json of any kind. In the picture, one variable type_motion is passed. By reading this variable in the script Integromat you can decide what to do in one case or another.

Run both applications
