Problem:
Actual more and more WLAN devices like Power Plug exist. Wlan Devices are not supported by Pulse-Station or Imperihome.
Hardware:
For my solution I use a PowerPlug, which can be used with the “Smart Life” App.
For Example: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B075W91N3D/
The “Smart Life”-App can be implemented in IFTTT as an THEN-Tree.
Solution:
1. Create a IFTTT Trigger at Pulse-Station as described here:
https://www.pulse-station.com/ifttt-service/
2. For the THIS look for the Service WEBHOOKS (I think former MAKER)
3. Create a trigger: Strom-1

4. Fill the iftt.event with a default. E.g.” strom-1-off”

5. Now you can use this trigger only by change the eventname:
event = strom-1-on = Power On
event = strom-1-off= Power Off
6. With this Blocky you can turn on the power:

If you want: save this as a manually run blocky scene and use it on its own.
Now let`s look at Imperihome:
There aren`t any buttons for WLAN devices so we have to use Virtual Binary Switches.
7. Create a virtual binary Switch “Strom-1-V”
8. Create a virtual binary Switch “Strom-1-V_status”
9. We create this blocky:

10. Finally use the virtual Binary Switch “Strom-1-V” as a new device at Imperihome
Attention:
If you make 2 scenes (on/off) and make them each as a new device in Imperihome, the reaction starts immediately (Step 6)
If you make 1 scene (Step 10), the reaction starts the next cycle of the scenes.
