  4. click the IFTTT icon. We aren’t using IFTTT, but this is the easiest way to get your key and create a “Sender”.

  5. A “Register IFTTT” window will open. Type anything you want, I just used “OctoAutoRemote”, and hit OK.

  6. Enter the same thing you entered for step 5 here then hit OK.

  7. AutoRemote will ask to generate a URL that has your personal key. Hit OK. Choose the delivery method of your choice and send it. Something on your PC like email is preferable so you can copy/paste. If it does not ask to shar eit automatically, long-press the device that was created and choose “Generate IFTTT URL”

  8. The URL sent will be something like https://autoremotejoaomgcd.appspot.com/sendmessage?key={a rediculously long key that identifies you}&sender={name form step 5/6}&message=MESSAGE_HERE
  9. Open the OctoAutoRemote plugin settings in OctoPrint.
  10. Enter the KEY value from the URL to the Personal Key field. Add the SENDER value to the sender field.
  11. Enable the events that you want to trigger an AutoRemote message
  12. click save.

TASKER

Tasker is a complicated beast. I’ll leave that to you to configure.
