How to write to a Google Sheet with an AWS IoT Button UPDATE: at 10:53 you now have to search SHEETS instead of DRIVE (IFTTT change after I made the video) This tutorial shows you how to setup an AWS IoT Button to record a timestamp to your Google Sheet each time the button is pressed. For example: Sleep Tracker - Push the button each time you go to sleep and each time you wake up to track your sleep hours. Consulting Timesheet - If you bill clients by the hour, push the button each time you start or stop working on your client's project to record the time spent. Commute time - Push the button each time you leave the house and when you get to your desk at work to track your daily commute times For the project, you'll need: AWS IoT Button - https://amzn.to/2PZbIdX (please do not discard the box) AWS Account - https://aws.amazon.com/ (you'll need a credit card to create an account) IFTTT Account - http://ifttt.com/ (free to create) Source Code - https://www.hackster.io/blankalpha/aws-iot-button-ifttt-s-maker-channel-476bd9 Mobile device to download and install the AWS IoT Mobile app - https://aws.amazon.com/iotbutton/getting-started/ Computer with Internet access (Windows or Mac) This is NOT a paid endorsement. I purchased the AWS IoT Button with my own funds.
