Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with IFTTT Webhooks in Home Assistant. After upgrading to version 0.81.6, I noticed that my previously working Webhooks started throwing ETIMEDOUT errors. It was a bit frustrating because I couldn’t pinpoint the issue—nothing had changed on my end except the upgrade. I checked the logs, reached out to IFTTT support, and even tried resetting my integrations, but nothing worked.
After some digging, I realized it might be a connectivity issue. I decided to test my setup by using a simple Python script to send requests to IFTTT. Surprisingly, the script worked without any issues, which meant the problem was specific to Home Assistant.
I then came across a suggestion to adjust my firewall settings to ensure that outgoing requests from Home Assistant were allowed. After tweaking my firewall, the Webhooks started working again! It was a bit of a rollercoaster, but I’m glad I figured it out.
If anyone else is struggling with similar issues, I recommend checking your network settings and testing connectivity outside of Home Assistant. Happy automating!
